I have a big problem with food!?!


Question: i'm 15 and i am quite a serious bullemic have been for a couple of years now.

i figured i wouldn't have to make myself sick if i don't eat any food, so some days i eat nothing, then binge and make myself sick.

my friends say i am killing myself slowly! is that true? or are they just tryign to scare me?

i've also turned into a really fussy eater, one day i will like something and the next i won't! i also can't stand certain food touching on my plate and i always need to use my finger to break my food apart so i know EXACTLY what i'm eating.

i'm scared of losing TOO much weight, because i'm 5ft10 and it really wouldn't suit my frame.

please help.
xx

you are killing yourself. stop it NOW! do you want to die? you must force yourself to eat healthy everyday.

your teeth will start to rot. you will not be a pretty corpse.

and think about your family and friends. you will be putting them through hell, if it hasn't started already.

i've been there and done that. just make up your mind you want to change, then do it!

Pray like you've never prayed before and ask for help. Talk to your parents and/or your school counselor.

Do it immediately.

see thats the problem too skinny girls arent that hot because its not natural just eat regulary and go to the gym once in a while

as a 15 year old the only thing i would be worrying about is exercising and less on what everybody else thinks.

This is a serious problem and you should be talking to you parents about this,not a bunch of strangers.

Eat nuts and salads. :^D You're OK if you get your nutrition.

You are killing yourself slowly and if not death you're just going to deteriorate your body. For example, puking alot can cause the acid to break the enamel of your teeth. That can make your teeth nasty looking and probably make you more self-conscious about yourself.

Just remind yourself you don't want any of this. Talk to your parents or a school counselor to get help. Not just advice, but real help.

It will give you an idea where at your age you should be at for a 15 year old. The BMI calculator is for children and teens 2-19 years of age.

You need a specialist to help you with your disorder. The best case scenario, at this rate, is that you will look like s*** and be alive at 18.

I have a simular problem. Or should say had. I had disordered eating aswell. I was sorta border line anorexic. I would starve for days, count calories never exceeding 450 cals a day. But never throw up. I know what it feels like and no one on here will be able to help you. Only you can make that step to help yourself. Also people tend to say things in reaction such as "you are dumb, why are you doing this?" But truth is no one understands and never will untill they go threw it. It is all in the mind it is a addiction a sickness. You are killing yourself slowly. But you seem to want to change thats good. Just take it day by day. If you cannot handle this on your own seek medical and psycological help. I hope everything works out for you.

not too warry take a proper diet every day . you should go for morning walk ,do exercise every day.

This is a problem that you can get help with. it isn't about food, it's about why you are using food in this way, to try and process what other things are upsetting you in your life. Please talk to somebody, is there a counsellor at school or can you call a childline number - they will be able to refer you to a specialist who you can talk to about this and get some professional help, this disease is just a symptom of other upsetting things in your life, it's how it shows itself, and you need to address these in order to rid youself of this disorder, this may unearth some painful feelings, but you have to get them out and find someone who knows about these things to talk to. On Monday - if you are in the uk please call 020 7263 6200 - it is a therapy centre especially for girls and women, and they will be able to refer you onto somebody who you can talk to about this. Tell them your age, and your general circustances, relationships with parents etc. and how you have a problem with your eating, they will totally understand and this may be the start of getting help, you can remain anonnymous dont' worry.
