I found out my sister used to be bulimic?!


Question: I found out my sister used to be bulimic!?
a couple years ago i was flipping through my moms daybook thing (i know i shouldnt but i was bored), and i found a letter from my older sister in it who has moved away for college!. I decided to read it because i didnt think it would've been very serious!.
when i read it i was shocked because she had written how she had struggled with bulimia and overcome it!.
lately it has been really prominent in my mind!. im worried that i will develop an eating disorder because i look at myself and im not happy with my stomach/thighs etc!.
is there any way for me to put this out of my mind!?
i haven't told anyone!. should i tell someone just to get it off my chest!?
and how can i avoid falling into an eating disorder trap!?!?

thank you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
yes it probably would have been better if you hadnt pryed into your mothers personal possessions, but oh well you cant do anything about it now!.

judging by your other question, i would say you are a teenager(im one too)!.
many teens begin to compare themselves with their friends!. theyre going through puberty and theyre hormones are all muddled up!. do some research on the eating disorders so that you know the harmful effects and tell yourself its NOT WORTH IT!. look at the things you like about yourself!. they dont always have to be physical!. if youre smart or a good friend focus on those things!. or focus on your fantastic smile

if you have to tell someone, i suggest someone that you really trust!. you dont want the word to mix around with everyone because your sister will be very upset that you told people about her personal affairs!. the best thing to do is not tell someone or maybe tell your mom - explain how sorry you are for reading through her things of course!.

well put it out of your mind by recognising that yeah, your sister did have a problem!.!. but she also got over it!. if you fall into an eating disorder remember her courage and strength and make it your own!.

You should tell some one how you feel!. Bulumia is a very serious eating disorder and people can die from it!. If your sister found a way to overcome bulimia then that's great and you shouldn't worry about it if she's not suffering anymore!. But definately don't become bulimic!. It's better to be a bit overweight than in hospital!. Just accept yourself the way you are!.
If you are relly worried about your figure just try eating more healthily and doing more exercise!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I agree with the person above!.

Talk to someone you trust about it but sounds to me that your pretty clued up about it and you wouldnt fall into an eating disorder trap and tbh your sister isnt in pain anymore so no need to worry just love your body, its the only one you got!Www@Answer-Health@Com
