Eating disorders...
Okay so I was attempting to look for people on here who write about their struggle with Anorexia and/or Bulimia.. But i honestly didnt find any.. I found some about losing weight and healthy work outs and even obesity.. I dont understand how obesity can have so much more attention when Anorexia and Bulimia are not that much of a difference.. I suffer from even the small thoughts of Annorexia and Bulimia.. and i struggle everyday for the courage to stay at a healthy level.. and hearing about others struggles and how they can overcome it really helps me.. the same as others who are dealing with obesity can help those who are in obesity.. there shouldnt be one being talked about more or less.. it should be equal.. alot of us go through so much and we need some comfort. at least me. I cant better myself alone.. nor can words better me but it helps to know im not alone in this.. :( but now it seems like fat is so much more out there.. makes me wonder if im also obese and im just seeinga fat version of me :/

thank you . its nice to know someone around has been through it. nobody who knows me knows about this.. nobody knows the struggle i go through and what sucks is that i know im ruining my health and yet i dont get any skinnier. and ive heard that after you gain weight fast again -.- which sucks.. but yea i do want to be healthy cuz i was healthy before.. i lost so much weight the healthy way.. and now.. like my mind became twisted and sick with this eating disorder.. and its not like i dont know its bad.. but i choose to ignore it i guess.

I completely understand. You are ashamed so you don't want people to know. And you know its truely bad for you, but something inside you makes you feel like that is the only way to get to a "good" weight... which it isn't. And you feel like if you dont' reach that "good" weight then you aren't pretty... but here is soemthing I have found. Your weight has nothing to do with how pretty you are. Or the person you are

and i try soooooo hard to tell myself that.. like in all honesty i try to tell myself even a thick girl is pretty.. because i have thick girl friends who are veryyyyyyy pretty and they are happy.. but then things happen and i suddenly feel so nasty and unpretty.. not even make up can help.. i had a panic attack in my room when i started to gain weight because none of my clothes fit me anymore.. i thought i was going to die.. and i couldnt go outside cuz i didnt want to have everybody know why i was crying and having a panic attack.. i couldnt breath or anything.. and that was the day i was like omg im either really fat and need to do something or i have a serious condition.. but nobody can know.. unless its strangers like you and people reading this cuz you guys dont personally know me.. and thats so sad :( |

Why do you feel like you can't tell your family? I mean they could get you help. Or tell another adult you trust. I mean I was just reading an article today on how eating disorders are becoming more and more common even with men. And that it is taken more and more lives every year. I don't wanna see anything bad happen to you! |

idk .. i just have always been judged since middle school.. and my family sees me as a perfect child because i became a follower of god early in my teenage years and i have changed from this like mean attitude girl to a nice understanding bla la la.. they see more in me.. and that would be like telling them im pregnant at 16.. itll probably be a disapppointment.. i know i dont want to die :( or put myself in that risk because ive been there before when i was younger and i was saved from it before i got close enough to going to the hospital type of thing.. its just hard to tell people close to me.. |

"I dont understand how obesity can have so much more attention when Anorexia and Bulimia are not that much of a difference" That's rather ironic, because I actually think people with Anorexia/Bullimia get talked about more than people who are suffering from obesity. I see people being more sympathizing to those who are extremely skinny, other than those who are extremely fat whereas, they are being constantly ridiculed. And I speak of only the circumstances that have been surrounding me. I suffer from over-eating and binge-eating. I guess I do it for love, comfort, and somewhat attention because I don't really recieve any of those things in my home, much less in my everyday life. Who knows. However, I do agree that an eating disorder is an eating disorder, and anyone who suffers from it; it's just sad... |

well there are tv shows that are talking about people with obesity.. and things in that matter.. but i was actually just referring to this site.. that nobody talks about anorexia or bulimia but theres a couple of things pertaining to obesity.. i think all 3 of them are horrible and nobody should go through it but we cant help what we begin to think.. and its hard to consider myself mentally ill or anything in that matter.. i know mines began because people kept calling me fat and ugly.. when even i knew i wasnt.. but words are a big thing for me and i hold that in .. and im pretty sure thats how it started for me.. and now that i have gained weight and i am fat now.. it affects me even more than before. |

When you say you have gained weight, how much to do you consider a few 'extra' pounds? Because judging from your picture you look in pretty healthy shape to me. And sweetie, words are words. They don't matter. The moment people disburse them, let them sway in the wind and forget about them for the rest of your life. Especially such negativity. You're a pretty girl, don't let anyone or anything take that away from you. I hope you get better. |

ive gained 30 the most 40 pounds from what i was before.. its alot.. not just a little bit of extra pounds.. as much as i say the same as to words are words.. to me words are everything.. you tell me anything something cute or mean i take that in.. even if i dont try.. i still take it in.. but thank you so much for your encouraging words |
