My first suggestion is that you can't overcome this alone. You need someone close you can trust with what you are going through. You need to take control of your eating disorder first of all. If you can't love yourself how will you be able to accept love and give love? If you are not seeing a dr yet you should or at least a professional councelor. Men will tell you that they understand, most will tell you what you want to hear. You need someone to tell you what you NEED to hear. You have 6 months to work on this. You have to love yourself and believe in yourself to do this. If you start loving yourself you may see things in a new light. Think about it like this... You love your boyfriend and you would not keep food from him right? You wouldn't starve your pets right? Love yourself and take care of yourself. I'll be hear to listen if you want to talk again. I was anorexic for a long time. I'm still struggling. But I have 2 kids and if I don't take care of me I can't take care of them.

it takes a long time to get over something that you cant help. it might take longer than dec. i would tell someone now. your at risk to having a heart attack any time. you should just start eating a little more each week. like this week you eat bread eat day. then add a little fruit or something the next. but not the whole fruit just a bite because your body wont be use to it and it might fail.if you cant do this by yourself have someone help or go see a doctor.good luck

You're quite odd. You're also weak.
If you were stronger you'd overcome this crap.

That's a tough one. I can really identify with you on this. I think that aside from dealing with this party it sounds like you need some specific eating disorder counseling to help you long term. Try to eat a little bit every day, other than bread. Salad, without dressing, can be very easy to just pick at, and as it is so watery it doesn’t sort of stick in your throat the way some food does. Try things like that, and fruit, and maybe gradually you will be able to eat a little more.
At the party, just try to relax. Remember that you will worry about what you are eating - other people wont be. They will all be far more involved in their own party fun! No food police! Try to have fun and good luck!

This is quite a hard question to answer if you have problems eating i think you should ask your bf to make sure there is some bread available there if that is all you eat.Then if you only eat bread you should be ok. Try explaining to your boyfriend that you are afraid of his birthday party and that you are afraid because his family will be there that way he should understand. Make sure there is some water as that is always good to drink. I hope i helped you alittle. need anymore advice write to sweetcorn me.
