Me and some of her friends helped her out threw it. when she ate she went to the bathroom(u should knows what happends) we would go with her to make shur she didnt do anything. we also made shur that she ate too. it took us about 2 months to get her threw it now she looks a LOT better now then when she did. i also told her from throwing up the acided would damage her throut and her voice box. she loved to sing and she wants to become a singer. so i told her she kept going she could never become a singer. yes i know i sounded mean but it worked tho!!yay!!\ni hope you get better and find someone to talk to about this. just find someone to help you and dont be afired to ask for help.!!!

Stop talking about your body to him. It's a total turn off. If you have an eating disorder, go see your Doctor. People tend to like you, for you. So stop obsessing with yourself, and be happy. Good Luck ~~~

My view-I feel like you are well on your way to having an eating disorder.  Eating three well balanced meals a day is the best for your health. Any thing else can only be harmful to your body.

There are lots of reasons why you could have these problems. I urge you to seek counseling and medical attention immediately, because you need to fix your heart, your mind, and your body. I am in no way saying that you're a bad person. I'm saying that you have a problem, you know you do, and you should fix it. Anorexia is horrible, one of my friends had it, and it was a long road. Realizing you have it is half the journey. Good luck to you.

Well I really don't see an eating disorder! Don't mean to scare you or anything, but I see a psychological one! You have started your problem by saying that, "there isn't much food in my house because my bro eats it all. Whenever I buy food... My brain automatically makes me think that I must east it all before my bro gets to it!" You have answered your own question really! You want to finish the food before someone else does! I don't know how many years you had to live with your brother, but you have to condition your brain now so that fear of no food will leave you!

Most definitely.  Your body is telling you something.  You NEED to listen.  You are obviously lacking some sort of vitamin that you body needs.   Do you take a daily multi-vitamin?  If not, I would start.    If you only eat one salad a week, I would actually suggest medical help, you are on your way to anorexia and eventually death.  Do yourself a favor, grab a Snickers bar.

Im no doctor but I believe that you should get some help.  Not eating is not healthy.  I was anorexic also.  I got so sick it was awful. You should get some help before it's too late.

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'm guessing u think u weigh too much. Have u just tried to talk ur problems out with some who cares or has the same problem? I use to think i didn't/ couldn't weigh enough. I ate everything in sight and couldn't get over a hundred lbs. I couldn't find anything to wear, everything was too big. even my size 0 jeans. So I guess i had to opposite problem. It went away after I had a kid. I use to talk to girls who had eating disorders to help them.

Ask yourself these questions:\n1. Are you exercising constantly?\n2. Do you weigh yourself every day?\n3. Are you refusing to eat?\n4. Do you see yourself as fat when you look in the mirror?\n\nIf you answer yes to all 4 questions, then you might be anorexic and need to get the help of a therapist.  Anorexia nervosa is a nasty condition.  If you do get it, you will have it for the rest of your life.  You can get it under control but it will always be with you and can creep up at any time.  You will have to learn how to get and keep it under control at all times.  Food is not your enemy.

Sweetheart,\n\nFirst off, hats off to you for being brave and asking for advice to take care of yourself. It sounds like you're dealing with a lot and I'm so sorry you're unhappy. Your depression and overall stress about your situation may cause you to lose some of your appetite, because a lot of times, emotional problems can cause changes in eating habits, whether that's overeating or undereating. \n\nAnorexia nervosa has at its roots the obsessive desire to lose weight. Are you "dying to be thin"? How far would you go to lose weight? These are some questions to ask yourself to get a better grip on your own motivations. \n\nSometimes if we don't eat for a long time, we slowly lose the desire to eat and it can even be painful or uncomfortable to eat. A nutritionist online says that "people who are unused to eating often complain of discomfort after eating, due to stomach stasis." She further says that you should "seek medical attention quickly to rule out potentially serious medical problems or learn how to best manage her problem if it's not serious, and/or receive psychological help before the problems gets worse or she suffers from malnutrition." I think that's good advice. \n\nwww.eating-disorder.com is a great website that has a lot of helpful info. Also, I would recommend some great advice columns online. One is Go Ask Alice @ (http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/), and another is Dear Uncle Ezra (http://ezra.cornell.edu/). Both of these sites have wise counselors who have dealt a lot with eating disorders, and have answered lots of questions over the years about eating and body image. You can type into the search boxes on these sites "eating disorder" or "anorexia" and see the questions that they have answered in the past on these subjects. Teenadviceonline.com is also a wonderful website that deals with all kinds of family and body image issues, as well as other problems that teens face everyday. I know that these sites have helped me a lot over the years.\n\nWhether or not you are anorexic, I hope that you'll take care of yourself, and continue to seek help--that's the sign of a go-getter and a brave person. From someone who came from a family full of strife and all kinds of sad tragedies, and someone's who's dealt with depression for most of my life, I'm here to tell you that there IS hope, and things WILL get better. I have faith that even though you are dealing with a lot, you will become stronger for it and there will be a time when you will be able to come to terms with your family and your life. You'll be able to be at peace with yourself and will be healthier, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Don't give up, and keep on asking for help. \n\nOne of the best ways to take that first step in helping yourself is to just talk to someone. If you can't talk to your parents (which is completely OK!), a teacher, a private or school counselor, or just your friends will do wonders to make you feel better. You don't have to deal with things alone. Also, you don't have to be ashamed of your problems, whether or not you have an eating disorder. In life, we're all tested in different ways and it shows your courage that you would ask someone else for help. Remember that no matter how bad things are, you ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS have the power inside of yourself to help yourself. \n\nI wish you the best.

It sounds like you're borderline anorexic.  That's a serious condition.  You can contact a local mental health agency and they have to keep it confidential, even from your parents.\n\nDo it now before things get out of control.  There's probably an eating disorders clinic you can go to for help.\n\nYou can save telling your parents for later when you're ready.

You are not overweight.  But you do need to see a doctor as you admit you have an eating problem, please get it checked out before it gets worse...;

Tough questions.  Every human does it a little bit... otherwise there wouldn't be "comfort food" cookbooks and there wouldn't be any market for ice cream or chocolate.\n\nBut if you do it excessively, i.e, binging, bulimia, or some similar behavior that constitutes an eating disorder, it is a serious health problem that requires medical supervision, therapy and group support to recover from.  Your question indicates that you have already recognized that it is an emotional problem.  Take the next step... get yourself some emotional care.  Ask your family doctor to help you find a reputable therapist who specializes in eating disorders, and/or find a chapter of Overeaters Anonymous near you.   \n\nGood luck... you are a worthwhile person who totally deserves to take good care of yourself.

if the diagnosis was made by a trained professional, he/she should have set up some sort of talk therapy sessions for you to attend to discuss the reason(s) for your overeating.  it's best to understand why you are overeating before trying to overcome the problem.\nyou can stop the disorder, but not without professional assistance and monitoring.  there are safe drugs available to suppress your appetite.  you can't do this by yourself.\nseek professional help ASAP.
