I've had an eating disorder for a couple years now. I start to get over it during the summer, then it all comes back like nothing ever happened during school. It's so bad that my clothes actually fit alot looser on me at the end of the day, that's how much weight i'm losing. But i dont' realy care. My question is, i need something to keep me going. I don't care what, but it's gonna have to be something that is like a normal drug (not a bad drug..but you know what i mean) that just..gives you a high or something. I just need ideas because i've almost fainted before and my friends know what's going on. I just need a way to stay awake and feeling really good so they won't realize. Any suggestions other than start eating again?!?!?! I'll rate high and sorry cuz it's so long.

If you're worried about the calories in food, consider eating negative calorie foods. They burn more calories digesting than they have to start with which means they're freebies. Try eating asparagus, apples, beets, berries, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, chili, cucumbers, lettuce, grapefruit, lemons, mangos, onions, oranges, papayas, pineapples, spinach, turnips, and zucchini.
