I Need Help!!! Posted: 03-18-06 20:44pm


I always want to lose 10 pounds although I am skinner than 3/4 of my friends and I always feel fat even if my friends tell me I am skinny and pretty I have tried not eating for an few days and for 3 days all I ate was supper but I couldn't keep that up so I decided to throw up after 2 meals lunch and dinner since all I eat for breakfast is yogurt... I wish someone will tell me how to properly lose weight without going to visit a docter... My friend told me that they know people that have died from this throwing up.. Can u really die from this and I want to know how can I change and I want to also know if I throw up after eating can I get sick and feel stuffed up and my throat hurt too... Please help me and let me know so I can help myself..... I don't know if you would consider this an eating disorder but it sure is a problem for me and I think I need to fix it!!!! Kayla :cry:

Hi sweety, glad to hear you know u have a problem! Yes u can die from throwing up and yes throwing up will make you feel sick, stuffed up and have a sore throat. Throwing up will not make u a healthy skinny happy person. Please get help. There are oter ways of losing weight but it sounds like that isn't really the problem and it usually isn't. It isn't all about you weight. It is also about how u feel after u throw up, how it makes u feel to compare your body to your friend's etc.

I want to look like those skinny people on tv even thought I know they probably aren't that skinny and that is unreasonable expectations I am just wanting to be smaller than what I am I am 5'3 and weight 113 and I know that that is healthy but I am not worried about health I am worried about have flab on my stomach... I know that throwing up after eating won't keep weight off and not eating won't keep weight off and will just make you bigger when you do actually eat but that does not consult me and I become so anxious to lose weight to were I will eat one meal a day and then I be so hungry that I will go to bed at like 7:00pm just to escape the hungry and to stay on my 1 meal a day diet.. With like 1 snack I know that I try to do often but then fall back on throwing up I wish I could find a healthy diet where it shows result kinda quick so I could stop this madness and have some self confidence because right now I have none...

i also thought like that. You and me have about the same proportions, so, believe me, you are ok. And I know you have as many qualities as one can have.

that is not a diet, youn know... :\ that is bad for you. Actually, it's easier to lose weight if you eat five or six times a day in small proportions than just having one meal. I've done that too, and I know it's not good.
Try to go to a nutritionist, they know it better, ok?

Yes, this can kill you andd look at what it is doing to those that care about you and love you. Look at is this way, a car cnnot run without fuel and oil and proper care and neither can your body. You can end up with brittle boned, unable to help yourself with a tune in you because your esophaugus and throat are shot antd the tube is used to feed you. Get help before it is too late, go to the Dr., the school nurse, talk to your parents, some one and remember, you are not alone on this, their are a lot of girls that do this and it is not good, get help! Good luck!

sandyallen is right. And maybe one way of trying to get better can be "group help" - you try to get better together with someone (here or not). But trying good things and exposing to a few more people what you are doing.
A good way would be creating a weblog, for example, since we don't know each other.
But, honey, get some help, please... :( we are here to help you and to listen to you. We care for you!!! And you are strong enough to do it right ;)

That's it.. Notice that you can lose weight in a better way. I, as I said, gained weight while the time I used to throw up constantly. Since I stopped and tryed to control my overeating, I lost 4'4 lbs to 6'6 lbs! (: but let's do this together, we all can help each other! ;) like you nickname says, you're the coolest ;) 8)

Hi. I am 20 years old and last spring I went on the wrong kind of diet. It started out healthy but it turned into an eating disorder. Almost throughout the whole summer I woudln't eat like a normal person. I didnt eat dull meals and I know I was starving myself becuase I found myself going downstairs in the middle of the night to eat a bannana or other pieve of fruit because I was so hungyry I coudln't sleep. My bones were starting to show and it hurt to sleep on them. By the end of the summer I was under 100 pounds at 5'1. Now I eat more but whever I eat regularly I gain weight because my metabolism must have slowed down. After tht I usually don't eat alot throughout the week and then when I do eat even a normal meal I gain weight. I know I need help but I don't want to gain any more weight but I don't want to go back to having anorexia. What can I do to maintain and maybe lose some weight healthy?

You know that going to a nutritionist would be the best way of doing that. But, if you don't want to, you have to re-educate yourself. First of all you have to think that eating regularly and normally is good. But again, going to the doctor is the most appropriate way of doing a diet. :\

That's exactly what we don't want. Today i'm struggling not to run to the bathroom and throw up again (i woke up very hungry and ate a lot...Two breads, milk and a banana). I know that I can control myself not to do that, at least for now. I want to quit it. It's my eighth zero day in a row if I manage to control myself!! I wnat to stop before it's too late and before I have to go to the hospital. I wouldn't stand that, specially because my family wouldn't understand or accept that from me. And you can stop before that too. Let's do it together. How are you all today?
