eating disorder?
hii. i was looking for some advice. i'm not sure if this is normal or not. but i've always disliked my body, i've always considered myself fat- even if everyone says i'm fine and its just muscle. but i constantly count all of the calories in my food. i'm extrememly self concious...and i wish i wasnt. once in awhile if i feel gross after i eat i'll purge it up. but it's not like i do it constantly. once in awhile i'll avoid eating but yet other days i'll eat regular. i don't weigh myself every single day.. but i'll stand infront of my mirror and point out my flaws and how gross i am. i think i'm the "fat" one in my group and i hate it because all of my friends are thin. do i have a problem or is this okay? help pleasse . thank you

Its usualy normal but you need to stop purging becuz there may be complications in the future. A lot of girls don't feel as pretty as they could be. Just love you for you.

hey there!
this is normal because many people deal with this too everyone is self concious. you dont have a eating disorder yet but this is the first stage of having a eating disorder. try not to worry so much about looking fat or having some fat. what you think is fat is probably just you muscles. if u didnt have any fat on your body then you wouldn't be healthy. you can still be healthy with a little fat. do you ever see a steak without any fat? i know that i see the fat and if there wasnt any it wouldnt be good. i do the same thing i stand infront of my mirror and i know i have flaws but everyone does and i dont care much for the flaws its more about what do i have better than it. sometimes i even just ask myself what part of me am i bothered by and i'll try to work on it. what i do now is maintain what i eat, how much i eat, and when i eat. i also started doing some exercise before i go to bed. yes i am changing myself buts its for the better of trying to stay healthy. please try this i can say that it does help me and i know that it might help you. please start to love your body, your personality, just love yourself because if you dont you'll always be unhappy. if you want anymore advice then leave something in my inbox even if its about anything. i hope i helped!

Sounds like you're well on your way to having at least one of the main eating disorders.
Just live carefree.
If EVERYONE tells you that you're thin and you're all muscle.... then you are most likely not how you think you are.
Food is God's gift. Embrace it and enjoy it!!!

dont worry some other people feel the way you do. put just keep on telling yourself you are not fat and it dosnt matter what you look on the outside it matters on the inside. you should not skip days on eating, you shoud probably see a doctor.

alright, to me it seems liek you have a self confidence problem. start with the little things, like maybe one day you should look at yourself in the mirror, and point out all the good things you have about you instead of the negative points. start excersizing instead of starving yourself or purging. you know its not healthy for you or your body, so why are you doing it? your doing it because of what you think others are sayign about you. everything now-a-days is all about looks.. people dont judge you about how smart you are, or how kind of a person you are... which personally, i think is pathetic. if you wanna lose weight, you should do it the healthy way. start eating healthier. aslo what helps is if you eat 5 small meals a day, instead of 3 large ones.
i hope i helped a little bit, though the girl below me really covered many of the main parts!
stay safe and god bless...

Wow, horsegirls advice didnt help you one bit sweetie. Yes, this is a problem. You need to love your body. Hating it, doesnt make things better, exspecially taking care of it they way you are. You actually will become gross looking if you keep this up. Just because you purge a little bit, and only starve yourself some days, doesnt mean you dont have an eating disorder. Because this si the beginning of one. There are so many other ways to make you feel better about your body, your trying to take the easy way out. Its the easy way out, but not a good way. You need to take up jogging, eating healthy foods, looking things you can do online, going to a guidence counselor and sorting all of these things out. So what if your friends are skinnier then you, you shouldnt look at the people around you, worry about yourself. Deffinitly talk to someone about this. If you don't feel comfortable talking to your parents, or a guidence counselor, feel free to IM me at MusicChick42891.
Hope I helped.
Happy SUmmer :)
