Eating Disorder...?!


Question: I've been struggling with an eating disorder for awhile now... almost 3 years... and I'm battling it more then I ever have with anything else in my life. At one point, I'm sooo extremly tired of it and I just want to let it go, but then I weigh or look at myself in the mirror and the only thing that I can think of is "I'm fat, and I need to lose more weight"... It's sad because it's controling the way I think about myself. I used to weigh 115 a year ago... and I'm 5'8"... now I've gained most of it back to a healthy weight of 130... but It's making me depressed because I felt better when I was underweight... It was effecting me physically though... like heart problems and other stuff... I don't know what to do because I don't want to let go of the eating disorder. It makes me feel good about myself how I can control things... It's like I look at it now as something pretty cool, when in all reality I know it's not.. what should I do?

wow,Thats a major problem that you are going through.But if you truly want help like you are crying out for,there is help out there.Your life is only barrowed and why would you want to waste your life battling?God made you who you are and he loves you no matter what.If he continues to give you all kinds of chances then why do you continue to let him down?Get help,your beautiful,your one of a kind,love you for who you are.

see a doctor.
something this serious cannot be resolved on yahoo answers.
good luck dear.

You need moral suppport
its very hard having an eating disorder and being on your own
Just do what makes u happy
but not eating wont

Have you ever gotten professional help for it? Seeing a psychologist should help. I have also heard of studies that used Prozac to help treat eating disorders and that was successful.

You answer your own question: you DON'T have control anymore. Its time to get some help with treatment, because you are already in deep trouble. Talk honestly with your family & ask for their support. What ever your doctor advises, DO IT!!You have given up enough of your life to this craziness. (I can call it that because IL've lived this life myself, since i ws in my late teens) Life doesn't have to be that way. There are so many other things to enjoy & experience--it isn't all about pounds & appearance. Seek help--you can do this!!

First, you got to get rid of the thought that being thin is beautiful. Second, you must believe that the mind is supreme in controlling whatever you can do, esp that a programme of physical exercise and controlled diet is a safer and more sensible way to control one's weight. Did you know that every person, no matter at what age, needs to sweat out through exercise, to keep the muscles toned, and remain healthy? To continue with your eating disorder, can be a most depressing state of affairs. Be strong and believe that what i have recommended will work. It's all really in the mind.

Best of luck and wish you good health!

watch Dr. Phil what he had on there Monday u will change your mind...this girl was so skinny that she had NO body fat at all which is not good...u have to have some body fat to keep warm and regulate your body eat...that girl was literally a walking skeleton....her butt had no shape to it...it was sunk in a stuff and she threw up up to 150 times a day...i'd rather be fat and die of a heart attack then be so skinny i died of starvation...this is America and we have the freedom to eat what we want use that right...i dont mean to be rude or preach to you...im just tellin u...
