I used to be anorexic, Im miss it to, but my parents put me in a rehab for 6 months. That sucked. Everyone says I look heathier now and that im still thin. I think we convince ourselves that thin is never thin enough and that we are fat. Its all about convincing your mind. I miss it but will never go back. I was sick, and still fight it. Stay strong!

Nudity makes me unconfortable because I don't have the body I wish I had.  If I lost a few pounds I wouldn't be as uncomfortable about it.

Don't eat things that you will regret and eat them in moderation. Sounds like you've got an ED. If you want help there are plenty of recovery websites and you can always talk to your doc. If you don't want help, just remember eating disorders can kill you. Would you die to be skinny?

i had to do a PPT in school on anorexia and i learned that anorexia could be percieved as a desease by some people and by other people it can be percieved as a lifestyle change(disorder)

In my family, there are several people who are really tall and really skinny.  They've been on weight gain programs, but can't seem to gain weight.  People would call them anorexic, but they weren't... they just had really fast metabolisms!  Now that they're older, they've put on more weight.  They aren't at an unhealthy weight anymore, but they definitely are still skinny!  \n\nHave you gone to a doctor? Perhaps they could make some suggestions for you to gain weight, if they think it's necessary. Or, they might be able to assure you that you at a healthy weight and don't need to worry about it right now.

I was anorexic and yea i got skinny but its not worth it. your stomach will growl but you will just have to get over it if you want to become anorexic. but if you ever want to stop it is hard and i can go without eating all day which i don't like and if you stop completely then you will gain weight faster than if you lost it the healthy way. I know doing it the healthy way is to much work but it is alot better for you.

yes, that would be considered anorexia. \n\nPlease, talk to some adults who are close to you about this issue. It is extremely important to develop health eating habits in your teenage years, especially if you are playing softball. Taking care of yourself means more than eating breakfast, chewing gum and drinking water. In fact, chewing gum is extremely bad for your teeth. You are very young and your body needs proper nutrition to grow and be strong.\n\nI hope you take into account that the body you have now will not be the body you have in 10 years. You are still growing and the damage you do to your body now could damage it for the rest of your life. \n\nFinally, being healthy, beautiful and "in shape" is not just about how you look on the outside (or how much you eat, or what you eat, or how much you exercise), it's about your mind, your brain and your soul. One cannot succeed in life by focusing only on body weight and one cannot build a healthy mind, soul and brain by eating as little as possible. You are beautiful when you are yourself, when you act yourself and when you treat yourself and others kindly and with respect.\n\nIf you feel there is no one you can go to (and even if there is and you just want to talk), please don't hesitate to e-mail me: megan.kelley@fiu.edu. I would be more than happy to be your friend and mentor. But I do hope you can count on someone who is close to you both location-wise and relationship-wise.\n\nGood luck, my dear. Please, take care of yourself.

i used to be slim until i got ill. i have to take medication and it has made me put on alot of weight. not all overweight people are like that cos they eat too much etc. alot of them have medical conditions. when i see them, i always feel for them and hope they are happy and loved, cos that is all we really want. i am very overweight now but im ok with it. i asked my daughter how she felt about me and she turned around and said, i prefer u this way!  it can be an awful struggle for an overweight person to lose weight, just the same as its very difficult for skinny people to put on weight. we are the way we are. i never thought id end up being the size i am but i accept it. i am still me, there is just more of me to love!

Having anorexia doesn't really concern yourself with other peoples weight, its denying your real weight. Its not feeling good about yourself for reasons that may be known to you or not. Sometimes people bother me when I watch them eat only because I can't see how people can eat anymore than I did, next to nothing, and be okay with themselves. I have been recovering fro anorexia for 5 years now and remember the feelings well. My weight was the issue with me not any other persons.

because anorexia and bullemia are serious eating disorders, it's a mental problem that they have and also known as diseases. If things are going bad in their life and they dont like their weight and obsess over it, they feel as if food is one of the things they are able to control in their lives. Just like alcoholism - it's hard for them to stop even if they want to.

Sounds like you have some major emotional issues.  Not all old people are fat and not all people your age are "skinny".

Your eating habits, not your weight determine whether you are anorexic. If you feel the need to be even skinnier, or even if you consider your current weight to be acceptable, then you most likely do have some kind of eating disorder. \n\nIf you do think you are anorexic please seek professional help now. Anorexia is a killer, and looking like a corpse even before it kills you is NOT attractive.\n\nIf you are eating normally then there must be some other reason for you being unhealthily underweight, so either way you should really speak with your doctor about this - sooner rather than later.

girl, the first thing is that you have admitted you have a problem.  good for you.\n\ntell your parents.  get a nutritionist to help you figure out what to eat to get you healthy again, and a psychologist who specializes in eating disorders to help you figure out why you have such a skewed view of yourself.\n\nit sounds like from what you said you have both anorexia and bulemia.  both can take the life you have been given away from you.  no matter what you think of yourself, you owe it to the people who love you to fight this.  get off the computer and get help.\n\nquit talking about it now.  do something.
