advice
i know its been mentioned in your column before that you have experience with eating disorders so i was wondering if i could get your advice-my eating disorder started at the beginning of this year over a guy-we hooked up a few times then he asked this other girl out and i was always under the impression i was never good enough. i felt so out of control that i started not eating because it was something i could control. I personally don't think i have an eating disorder but i can tell my friends are getting annoyed with me for not eating or commenting that certain people have gotten bigger etc. maybe my sense of what is healthy is warped??? iunno personally i think im fine and i think an ideal body is for example a victoria's secret model granted i know they have implants-their bodies look healthy and toned and it looks good to me. there's nothing wrong with me if i watch what i eat is there?
hEy hUn! Yea... i CaN dEfInaTeLy heLp yA oUt oN tHis One! to answer your question... there is definatley nothing wrong with watching what u eat... that is if you do it for the right reasons... wanting to get healthy, wanting to get in shape eTc... but if your doing it to try to be "perfect" then there is something wrong with that... because as you probably know.. watching what you eat sometimes turns into not eating hardly anything or anything at all. its definately common for you to want a victorias secret model body (aHhh dont we aLL?!) sometimes i wish i had mary kate olsen's body or paris hiltons.... i have had anorexia for almost 3 years (wOw) aNd trust me...its not something you wanna go through... in and out of hospitols, treatments, not getting to see your friends eTc... you mentioned that your eating disorder began over a gUy which is super common. alot of people devolp eating disorders...because they feel like their body is the only thing they can control... they can't contorl what happens with their friends, family, boyfriends eTc... but they can control what their body is like.your sense of what healthy is warped if you say you have an eating disorder... to me healthy is sometimes a grapefruit a day and back bones sticking oUt... because anorexia is warped... no matter how thing you are... you still compare yourself to others and think your a cow.... yOu definately need 2 talk to someone about this aKa get help! seriosuly... before it ends up getting out of control... i know every girl wants to have the hottest bOdY... bUt please ONLY watch what you eat... and don't NOT eat! i hope i helped you! ask me anything anytime! good luck!
