well i dont think its a good idea to do that i had a project last year and it had to do with that eating disorder well if your doing it there alot of health complications so your making it worse if you think your fat or something i suggest watch what you eat dont eat as much of it as you would normally do eat small portions of it ya know drink lots of water okay thats all i got but if you think you cant stop tell your parents because it could get even worser and then you mite be to late...

an eating disorder is a hard thing to deal with on your own because of all the feelings that come with it. find someone who you can talk to, maybe someone else with an eating disorder, i know there are blogrings on xanga for those with eating disorders under health, weight issues. so maybe try and find a buddy who can be your support team. :)

Hi There. I'm sorry to hear that you're having some issues about your self-image. It's very disturbing to think of a young woman hurting herself in this way. I don't know that you understand the seriousness of your problem.
While telling your parents is a drag, and so is the counseling that goes along with it, I hate to say it but I feel it is in your best interest. Bulimia goes beyond a bad-self image. This is a SERIOUS disorder that can lead to permanent physical damage or DEATH. Remember Terry Schiavo (the braindead woman in florida who was taken off life support this year)? They are assuming her stroke was caused by a severe eating disorder. It's not just a scare tactic when they tell you that denying your body of nutrition can lead to heart attack, stroke, and other traumatic stresses to your internal organs. It's no good being skinny if you're not alive to enjoy it.
I don't think you can just 'decide' that you aren't fat, and that you can convince yourself to stop hurting yourself in this way. If it were that easy, then everyone would 'quit' having an eating disorder at the first sign of health problems. But they don't... men and women continue this cycle of behavior until someone intervenes or they ask for help themself, or worse... no one does, and they end up seriously hurt or dead. Bulimia even goes beyond food- often it's an issue of control. Those who feel 'helpless' in life sometimes turn to self-destructive behavior in order to feel like they are 'in control' or something such as food. You have to ask yourself why you feel so badly about the way you look or your weight in the first place. I would bet that if I put your picture up with 10 other girls your age that no one would look at your picture and say "look at that little girl- she's so fat". Why would you feel that way?
Again, please don't be ashamed or scared to ask the adults in your life for help. Hopefully, your family has not contributed to your self-image issues and will be there to support you and get you the help you need and deserve. You have so much to enjoy and celebrate in life. Please don't let yourself waste away to nothing before realizing that you're worth more than this.
Best of Luck,
Anne Nonimous

Hey, well i think the best thing is to talk to a close person friend maybe who also went through it but over come it. I think you should stop telling yourself your fat because i did use to talk/ pick on people about being fat but i stoped at like 14 because i learned and i thaught i was being a bitch... so if no one else calls you fat or teases you or if your parents dont bring it up you most lickley not. Once your ready i think you should tell someone about your Balimia. But throwing up can cause more problems than being overweight so i think you shouldnt through up.

I think the first thing you have to do is stop telling yourself that you're fat. Beating yourself up about how you THINK you look is really not going to help. I've battled stuff like anorexia so i know a little of what you're going through. Once i stopped telling myself crap i got better. And bulimia is even worse in my opinion. You're damaging your body because you're removing nutrients that you need basically to stay alive. It can cause serious weight loss too. I'm not going to tell you to tell your parents because all my friends did that and it just annoyed me. I even went to a counselor and that did no good. So first of all, stop making yourself throw up. Just tell yourself that it's going to hurt you more than help you. Second of all, find some really close friends to talk to. I know us kids can only do so much but at least you can blow off some steam. But if you don't stop this, it'll get worse. It's like a habit that you can't get rid of. So for now, concentrate on slowly getting better and not WORSE. You can talk to me on my sn which is rikatree2375 or DeeSireDiOr is awesome too. She understands a lot. My email is e.sherhart@att.net for if i'm not on and you just need to talk. I hope i helped and please contact me somehow. I'm great at listening and i totally understand what you're going through.

Well... while talking to someone is going to help, do you really want to put that burden on someone who is likely untrained to really handle your situation? I can understand your hestitation in talking to your parents, but I would really advise you to find an adult you can trust and try to confide in them. You claim to want help - and like it or not, that help might require doctors of various sorts. Mind you, I do not know your exact situation - no one here does... so I can only make general statements that I hope will at least make you think and consider all your options carefully.
I'm sure there are many here who will offer some decent advice, but it all comes down to this - no one here can really help you directly - only you can influence that happening, and it has to come from you deciding that you really do want help and going forth to seek that help. Adults aren't inherently evil - we don't just say, "omg! eating disorder! let's toss her into a hospital!"... that just wouldn't make sense.
I would love to say that I can help you, that I can make it better - but I can't and I won't. But I do want you to understand that you're not alone, that many have gone through similar things, and that you can overcome your eating disorders.

I highly think you should talk to an adult...just because if it gets too far it can be deadly...i'm sorry you have this problem, but sometimes it can be serious..so maybe you should really rethink not telling your parents or if you are religious..try praying about it, if you're not religious ignore what i just said..anywayz i hope you take my answer into consideration
Good luck, i'll pray for you!!!!
