You have something called bulimia... and it actually won't make you lose weight...

Next time you feel a binge coming on, talk to someone you trust.. or tell someone that could really help you stop (I'd say a guidance counselor but those can be distant). You need "help" and I hate to put it like that because it seems so isolating. I think, though, that more of us have gotten "help" at one point or another so, no biggie. It will turn into a big deal though if you keep going. Bulimia has serious negative affects on your body not only physically, but mentally as well.

Only once you feel better about your body and seek this help would I advise the whole eat healthy and excersize route, and only if you actually need to lose weight. By reading your submission I'm not sure you do.

To answer you additional info: go to a camp, talk to random strangers, draw, read, write, get in touch with feelings (why do you do this in the fist place?), listen to music, find your passion. Distracting yourself helps. Try to find something that will make you feel good about who you are that doesn't depend on what you look like/ how skinny you are.

Eating problems are pretty serious so please don't keep this all to yourself! It could be hard telling someone (I'm not you, I don't really know), but it's so much more harder to have to keep that inside or let it take you over when you don't want it to.

Go to a camp, any camp, anything you enjoy doing, over summer so you can make some new friends. Only eat when you're hungry and not when you're bored and have nothing to do. At times when you have nothing to do, don't substitute it with eating, talk a walk around your neighborhood or ask your parents to take you to the gym. Put yourself in a reality check and really try to turn your life around. You have to commit to it. If you're really having trouble doing this alone, try one of those "Weight Watchers" things to keep yourself on track. If exercising really isn't your thing, then just keep ot simple and take your dog (if you have one) around the block. Don't skip meals and definetly don't make yourself throw up. Just learn the correct proportions. Instead of making a huge long term goals, take it week by week. Make a chart of all the food you ate and how often you exercised. Then at the end of the week, you can choose which kinds of food you can cut out more and how much time you can devote to exercising. Summer is a great time to do this, because next year when everyone sees the new you, you won't have a problem making friends.
