Question Posted Saturday November 12 2005, 6:22 pm
Okay, so I guess you could say I have "Anorexia". It's hard for me to put it that way, but someone else would say so. Anyhow, I go 4-10 days at a time without a single crumb. Bad, I know. I've been battling this about 8 months now. I've only told three people, one of which, is very involved in helping me. He's my knight in shining armor. He doesn't know this is my 5th day without eating, because we haven't been able to talk this past week. Question is: should I tell him? In a way, I don't want to get better. I don't want help. But I hate lying, and I couldn't bear lying to him about what I did/did not eat. Also, I don't want to upset him again, as he thought I was over this when I really wasn't. I don't even know if any of this makes sense, sorry. But think you could help me determine if I should tell him or not? THANKS A BUNCH!!!!!!!

I hope you know waht you're getting yourself into. This isn't healthy at all and if you want to loose weight, not eating is defenetly not the right thing to do. You should for sure tell him what's going on. He wants to help you, so why would he be upset. I understand if he is though, but that would only be because he cares about you and he doesn't want anything horrible to happen to you. Lying is bad, and if he is your knight shining armor, then he deserves to know the truth. If he found out by himself, I think he would be disapointed. Other than that, I think you need to tell your parents about this. What you are doing is very serious and very bad for you. Do something before it's too late.
