im anorexic and have been for half a year. its a struggle everyday to come to terms, but im becoming more accepting. i only want REAL anorexics advice on how to stay strong and lose weight fastly. thanks and i can provide stats ect if you need.
But why on earth would you think that people on an advice website would give you advice on starving yourself? You have a DISEASE. It's a struggle because you are starving your body and if you don't stop you will eventually die. No joke. Short term, your hair will be limp and weak as well as your nails, and it's fairly common for anorexics to grow thick body hair (it's the body's attempt to warm itself up) over the entire body- stomach, chest, shoulders, back, you name it. Do you really want to look like that? Sickly skinny is NOT attractive. Ask any guy, they'd rather see a girl with a little stomach and thighs, with curves who looks healthy, than a flat little twig.
You need to get help. Now. [ xokristabelle's advice column | Ask xokristabelle A Question ]

You're destroying your body--you do realise that, right? People die from eating disorders. They die. Read those words until they sink in. You're not immortal. You're human. Your body can only hang on for so long.
Things only go downhill. Ask someone who's been anorexic for longer, and she'll tell you that she wishes she never started. You'll get to that point too. Every day you indulge your eating disorder, you make recovery that much more difficult.
Do yourself a favour and get help now. A therapist can help you understand why you're choosing not to eat. A dietitian can help you make better choices. Self-exploration can offer you freedom. You deserve that. You don't need to live like this.
Don't accept it. Refuse to accept what you're doing to your body, because it's not okay. It's not good enough. You deserve better.
S_C answered Sunday July 1 2007, 9:09 am: I was anorexic for over a year. I'm going to give you one piece of advice, short, simple, and to the point.
Get help! If you don't, you'll more than likely die really soon.
I want to tell you to stay strong - but in getting help and recovering, not in continuing your self-abusive behavior.
There are healthier ways to keep your weight at a good level, eating disorders are stupid and selfish as I have learned.
All I'm going to tell you is stay strong, if you've come to terms and aren't in denial then others must know, right? Go to someone, tell them you want help. Keep your head held high and know that once you've taken over the disease rather than the disease taken over you - you'll be okay.
If you want recover advice, sure, I'm here. If you want to know how to lose more wieght quickly, you've come to the wrong place. Anyone who helps you to constantly lose more weight and possibly helps to have you deteriorate and die, well, they just don't seem like that great of a person to me.
