Ok, I think i have an eating problem but i`m not sure. I have a tremendouse fear of gaining weight and i honestly can`t help it. I`m starting modeling soon and so I feel like I HAVE to look thin. I`m not eating period and my friend`s are starting to notice so when they make me eat I throw it up. My boyfriend says he`ll quit doing drug`s if i start eating again wich mean`s the world to me but everytime i start eating again I start crying in fear of gaining weight and throw it up then feel terrible. I don`t think i have an "eating disorder" but it`s kind of hard to tell when all of your friend`s are "concerened" that your loosing weight and your starting to look "sick". They say i`m starting to look to skinny, I have bag`s under my eye`s, and i`m getting pale. I can`t eat properly it`s just to hard. I`ve been extreamly depressed latley. Do I have an eating disorer? Someone help me please !!

XxSmileyChickxX answered Tuesday July 6 2004, 12:10 pm: Well when you dont eat at all its called anorexia, and when you throw up after you eat its called belimia, and yes you do have an eating disorder. You should go to counseling for this. These disorders can cause serious problems with your health. You shouldnt worry about gaining weight if you have a healthy diet and exercise daily. I think you should stop what your doing and get help with the eating disorder you have. So I think you should get help from counseling.

xl0r31x answered Tuesday July 6 2004, 2:34 am: i`m not a doctor or anything but my sister (who is also my best friend) is bullemic... and i think you do have an eating disorder. your weight is something you should not worry about... nobody cares what you look like and if they do they don`t deserve to know you... you are beautiful because of whats on the inside.. not on the outside ! and if you are a model then you know people think you`re beautiful ! but look.. your friends are noticing it, and you yourself are noticing it. thats the first step.. if you can`t eat on your own you need to get help.. thousands of girls have eating disorders and 1 of every 5 die... i`m not trying to scare you but it scares me hearing my sister throwing up in the bathroom.. and i don`t want anybody else to have to do what she does... talk to somebody.. anybody whatever you need to do !

orphans answered Monday July 5 2004, 9:44 pm: Yes, you do have an eating disorder. You really should talk to your doctor about this. Remember that skipping meals is not a healthy way to lose weight. Your body is not getting the nutrients that it needs to properly function. It seems that a lot of people don't realize this very important fact. Here is a site to visit:
www.eating-disorder.com
It gives a list of treatment centers and other things that can help you return to a healthy condition. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon! [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
tweety answered Monday July 5 2004, 3:44 pm: actually you do.. sort of just try to eat normal you can be thin when you eat just don't over eat O.K. good luck.
bye!!!!!!
accolade answered Monday July 5 2004, 3:42 pm: yes, you do have an eating disorder, but something CAN be done about it. you want to start small. eat a couple carrots more than you usually would. slip in a few celery sticks for breakfast, and DON'T THINK ABOUT IT! you really need to eat stuff to keep healthy. you shouldn't be scared of gaining weight, you should be scared to losing too much. if you're going into modeling, chances are big that you are already really skinny. you don't need to get any thinner!! pleasepleaseplease eat something right now! go into your kitchen and make a sandwhich! the best way to eat it, is to not think about it. watch TV, read a book, or talk to someone while you're eating. it'll take your mind off of gaining weight.
cowgurl answered Monday July 5 2004, 2:30 pm: <font color=hotpink><big>well, im no doctor but if u ask me u have an eating disorder. SOunds to me that if u start eating healthy then u'd be killing to birds with 1 stone. I know its not that easy. So if u ask me u need to talk to sum1 u trust and get help. I think that u should 1st try on ur own, by eating healthy and then exercise. RUn a mile, ride a bicycle, or nething. Its ok to be concerned with ur weight. I completly understand that. But u need to control ur weight, dont let it control u. THis is a serious problem that can end up with u dead or in a hospitol. If u feel that ur problem is that uncontrolable than u do need help!

dAnCeR45 answered Monday July 5 2004, 11:29 am: ok, well i think you do have an eating disorder b/c if you never eat and when you do eat you throw your food up, then you might have anorexia and bulemia. I would definitely go to a doctor and try and get some help b/c thats a serious disorder. you should still eat even though you becoming a model b/c eating is something that everyone does to stay alive and you dont have to be anorexic to look skinny. please start eating

AshleysLilDuckBear_9112 answered Monday July 5 2004, 11:01 am: Ok! you shouldn't have an eating disorder. If you think your fat (which your probably not) then just eat healthy foods lik,e fruits and veggies, eat ham and turkey w/o bread, eat wheat instead of white bread, eat pretzels instead of chips, just do little changes like that. Just look at the labels and see how much fat carbs are in stuff you eat. Just don' think your fat!
Rate me please! :)

MissJ1414 answered Monday July 5 2004, 10:14 am: Yes sweety it does sound like you have an eating disorder. You are not fat and it sounds like your too skinny. Go a few days with eating whatever you want and just enjoy it and what ever you do don't throw it up. I know that eating disorders are hard to over come but if you just make yourself believe that what you eat won't hurt you or make you gain weight then maybe you'll be able to keep some food down. I over came it and so can you.
lovinyouzzforeva! answered Monday July 5 2004, 9:48 am: WEll, this answer is aimed towards both of you, if you DO start eating, he WILL stop doing drugs, but just stopping mightnot be enough. Go to the hospital, or a support group, so that you can control your eating habits. If you get too skinny, the modeling agency might drop you (keep that in mind!!!) Also, help your b/f because he might have a problem with dependence on drugs. If you both get help, this situatioln might get helped sooner. People care about you.

kevin1986 answered Monday July 5 2004, 4:19 am: Yes you have two eating disorders. Your tremendous fear of gaining weight,and not eating is called Anorexia. Throwing up what you do eat is Bulimia. (Or almost spelled that way)Another one of your problems is your bf doing drugs. He's not the answer. Ditch him,eat again(protein and not too mant carbs) and exercise. You probably look very pretty,but you're about to really screw yourself up. Please do what I tell you. [ kevin1986's advice column | Ask kevin1986 A Question ]
Ashley answered Monday July 5 2004, 3:03 am: Awww, I am sorry to say you have a eating disorder! I think your anorexic and bulimic...Yes you can be both! You need to talk to someone and get treated ASAP before it is too late. Imagine if you die so will your b/f. He seems like he really cares for you and so does your friends and you should get help for them and yourself. So I see your starting modeling! The pressure is hollywood is hard and I don't think you will survive through it if you ever make it that big as a model. Look at Mary-Kate Olsen! So if you need to talk to someone contact me. I am starting modeling too! [ Ashley's advice column | Ask Ashley A Question ]

XoTruebrunettExO answered Monday July 5 2004, 1:02 am: if you don't eat at all think about this, they won't want you as a model b/c you'll start to look sickly, your young, so you don't have to worry too much about gaining a lot of weight.. Also, think about it, if you eat you help your boyfriend to not do drugs. so you're not only helping yourself you're helping him too! and it seems like he really cares about you and so do you friends. eat normal meals, trust me just eat normally, but excersise. but if you excersise don't push yourself too hard * look in a magazine (seventeen) if you want to learn some easy and quick excerise * good luck hun and i really home you start to eat!!
Siren_Cytherea answered Monday July 5 2004, 12:14 am: If you don't eat at all and you throw up every time you do, I'm sorry tell you you do have an eating disorder. You've gotta start eating right, or you're just gonna end up malnourished and sick, not skinny. When you start modeling, the people will - if you need it - give you a diet to keep you think, I think. If you got into the modeling biz, you're probably gorgeous anyway, so why bother trying to make yourself a stick? Talk to someone about this. Your mom, your dad, anyone. Tell them how you feel and they'll help you out.
