Hey, I'm Emily. I'm a nineteen year-old college student. I decided to make one of these things because my planned college major will be counceling of some sort.I'm not easily embarassed, so ask anything you want. No question is too personal, too strange, or on a subject that I wouldn't talk about.
I did have to choose three "favorite categories", but please don't think that my abilities are limited to them. I know some about eating disorders/body image, religion problems (I often have those myself), drug issues or questions (experience is the best teacher. . .)and, of course, I can help out with any sort of relationship with anyone.
I dabble in a little bit of everything.
I hope I can help you.

I've heard that when you're trying to lose weight that it's important to eat several small, healthy meals a day instead of only one or two large meals. What's a decent number of small meals a day to start with? Do you increase or decrease as time goes on? (link)

The usual reccommendation for that is five small meals a day. You don't increase or decrease unless you're increasing or decreasing your activity level.

This might be kind of gross, but for the sake of my friend, please try to help...
I recently found out that one of my friends is purging or becoming bulimic. I'm pretty sure she is but i have no clue how she's doing it. I mean, i've heard different stories and i really want to talk to her about it, but i can't yet. My only question is, is there any kind of medicine/drug that she might be taking for her to do this??? I dont know much about this so i really need to know to help. I know that alot of people just say, "stick your finger down your throat", but i'm not sure if she's doing that. I know she's taken drugs before but i don't know if that can literally cause you to purge. She's had trouble with stuff before but i just recently found out about this. I need to know if what she's taking is causing this. If you have any idea or can tell me what the pills are, i'll appreciate it. I'm just really worried and kind of naive about all this. Please help!!! (link)

One of my best friends is struggling with bulimia. I know it's a very hard thing to watch. While taking high doses of some medication to make yourself throw up is possible, that's probably not what she's doing. She's probably gagging herself with her finger.
Be there for her, tell her she's beautiful, and try to find her some help.

Ok 4 about 2 weeks I have been loosing alot of weight! I mean like I have lost 7 or 8lbs in that time period. What I have been doing is not eating ANYTHING from 7:00am to 3:30pm and I have pratacly been starving my self. When I think of Food I get so hungray. But I don't feel like eating. I weighted 220lbs and now I weigh about 212. Is this healthy. I eat when I get home. No Smartasses please. Thanxs (link)

I have yet to see the actual question in this, but I'm gonna give you my knowledge.
I've had weight struggles for my entire life.
If you ever start eating normally again (and you will, because no one can eat like that forever) you will gain back all of the weight you lost and then some, at a very quick rate.
If you want to lose weight, I suggest trying to change your lifestyle instead of going on a little non-eating trip. You'll keep the weight off if you do that.
