Hi im very new..need some advice!!
About 6 months ago i was a depressed anorexic and ate about 700 calories a day. I now have it under control but recently i have been feeling really overweight again. I have started making my self sick again and i think i may continue. I really odnt want to loose weight an unhealthy way but i feel i dont have any control. I know im not overweight but i hate my body and i want to be skinny. Im 15 and weigh 120 pounds and i really want to stop eating again to lose ten pounds. I can't speak to parents, no one understands. Anyone in the same boat??
Why am i doing this??!!!

Daisy...It's great that you recognize this isn't healthy. Is there a counselor at your school that you could talk to? I understand that it's hard to talk to parents about these things, but a trained professional might help. It's worth looking into.....keep posting and let us know how you're doing!

Daisy, hang in there. Learn what you can about eating disorders from reliable sources that recognize the many factors that lead individuals to starve themselves. It is not all about food. Emotions, "nutritional status", family dynamics, physical fitness, and even hormonal changes all play important roles. Did you receive treatment before?
I started an eating disorder at 13 and postponed treatment till I was 28!!!! What a lot of lost years. If I could reverse the clock, I'd of run to a doctor at 13.

I'm definitely in the same boat. I'm 15 as well and had almost the exact same problem around the final summer months. I still find times where I despise my body and am ashamed of certain eating habbits. I'm scared to death of losing control and have a difficult time confiding in friends/parents.
It's nice to know I'm not the only 1 in this posittion, but I know I can't live lyke this and you can't either. What I do when I'm feeling down is remind myself that skinny does not equal love, success, or any humongous triumph of happiness. All you can do is try your best to be healthy, thrive, and try to be happy.
We can both get past this and we will. Plus we have CPH to help us....
