Worried I might be going bulimic...help please?!

Question: Worried I might be going bulimic...help please?

So for the past week or so I've been really paying attention to my weight. I'm 15 and 5'5 and my dream weight is 110, which I'm at with maybe a 2 or 3 lb fluctuation. Now I'm starting to get worried because not only do I have it in my head that I'll never be able to wear a bikini or find "the one" if I go over 115, but when I do eat a lot I feel guilty. Like just now I had a bowl of Raisin Bran Crunch and some dip with Tostitos, now I feel really guilty because the cereal bowl of dip was kind of full. Now I'm kind of worried that I did eat that not only that much (though all I've had today was some rice and soy sauce, Sun Chips, a cinnamon roll tortilla and a bagel) but that I am guilty and for a split second my head was like "Wouldn't it be great if you could just puke this all up?"

This has got me kind of scared you know? Like it seems like just a few months ago I was totally happy with my body, not worrying about what I ate, but now I feel like I have to either eat lunch and skip breakfast or vice versa. Am I like going bulimic? I'm really scared. What should I do?

Answers:

Your fine the way you are....you shouldn't have to worry about your weight at your age unless you have physical problems. No one will notice the difference between 110 and 115 but you because like all teenagers you want to be perfect in every way which isn't going to happen. That seems like your average or below average for your weight for a girl your height so you have nothing to worry about anyway. Just eat like normal there is absolutely no reason you should feel guilty about eating and if you don't people will eventually find out that your throwing up your food and believe me you will get noticed for that way more than your weight because that is a serious problem. I hope this helps and I hope you stop feeling guilty about eating and live a healthy life.

woah you just described me, you could go on a healthy diet, and if your worried talk to your parents about this.

talk to someone ...an adult...its as simple as that...it may be hard for you to do but it is worth it for your health
