i no exactly how you feel, nothing works for me i still stay the same weight, it makes me sick!!!

Thank you....yes u shud just eat healthily and exercise regualry n dont even think bout gettin ill that way..its just wrong

do NOT go anerexic. it really screws u up, n hurts u. u may lose weight, but once u start eating again it will come bk

i was anoriecic once, and believe me, wen u are u feel like ur in control and ur doing the right thing, but this is wrong, now i look back it was crazy, i went down to under 6 stone, i had to go to docs, the consurcences are bad (soz i cnt spell, lol)

eat healthy- lots of fruit and veg and water, and just work out if ur portions are too big and dnt snack, and exercise, work on toning exercise to make u less 'wobbly' or swimming is a good all round exercise tht burns fat as well.

but dnt go anoreic becoz u lose a part of ur self, u degrade ur self and lose ur self asteam, plus u wont look nice- ur skin will go a grey couor as u will not have enuf nutrients.

i dont know. i just need to be pretty. and ill do anything. i dont have the time to work out. and i dont know. its only been 30 hours.

You think you want to become anorexic? You think it's a lifestyle choice? You think girls who suffer-- yes, SUFFER-- from eating disorders really want to be in that situation?

I hate threads like this. Not only are they getting you nowhere, but they are a slap in the face to those who have actually gone through it and know what hell it is. I struggled with bulimia for three years. It destroyed me physically and mentally. What I went through is sad, but what's sadder is that there are actually girls out there who believe such a thing is glamorous. It isn't. It's miserable. It's painful. It's never being happy. It's constantly hiding things from the people you love, it's denying that you have a problem, it's hating yourself, it's bowing down to a non-existent god because you never believe you're thin. It's not pretty nor will it make you pretty.

Soiree - thank God for people like you. People who understand the terrible disease.

My sister, a.k.a, my best friend, was anorexic and bulimic. She had to live at treatment center for months and she still attends therapy and goes to a nutritianist. Her recovery was, and still is, miserable and painful. She has to get weighed daily, and she has to write down what she eats. It's not something you can just "become", and it's not a good thing at all. You are constantly forced to hide things from everyone. Before that, I struggled with bulimia myself, but not as serious as my sister. It's life-changing, and not for the better. It's something that those who have experienced have to struggle with day after day. You do not want to be in that situation.

These threads make me sick. Those who are that naive to the subject and see eating disorders as just an easy, painless way to shed some pounds sicken me.

i think both soiree and alexia are both amazing with helping with anorexia. threads like this make me sad 2. its so sad how we live in a world where celebrities like hilary duff,lindsay lohan, nicole richie and like ALL of the celebrities loose 2 much weight when they were all at a normal weight. its so sad...

I was anorexic with bulimic tendencies.

oh thats sad, r u healthy know brit?

I got out of rehab recently. It makes your hair thin and your teeth pretty gross. There are other ways of losing weight.

thats true. r u ok know? like i know u never fullly recover [ i heard ] but r u ok? and yes, u can excerize, eat healthy........ so many other wayz. lol, i responded a lot to this thread and i wasn't the 1 who even made this thread, lmao.

I was semi-anorexic for like half a year and i lost weight.... but i dont recomend it once i started eating normally i lost alot more weight! I understand ur pressure though... it got so bad for me i tried to committ suicide.... and im still not the same

((Samantha))

whats your height and what do u weigh know? i also seen that u were new to the boards becuz this is your 1st post, congrats!

this is random and kinda dealing with this thread but starting tomorrow i am going on a water diet......tuesday-monday im not eating and only drinking water! im doing that so i will look better at school on the first day..(tuesday) so thats what im doing and i think i can live a week :)

They don't let you out or rehab unntil you weight 100 pounds like some giant whale.

Ad yeah I am fine. Never lost another pound, never gained one either.

100 lbs is not a goant whale that is tiny

psh.

You have ever been anorexic.

100 is a big number, imagine 100 spoons. 100 bees. 100 bears. 100 pounds.

i know sry i was just saying that to me 100 is tiny

Yeah.

Normal pretty folk will never understand the stuggle.

beauty is in the eye of the dress size.

Here you go, the perfect plan.

Freaking Exercise! Here's why. If you exercise OUTDOORS, not only are you losing weight via calorie burning, but the heat suppresses your appetite, so you eat what your body needs, but no more. I'm serious, it works.

Poor RoseQuartz.

I simply don't eat very much. Not by any conscious decision, I just don't.

I do have a friend who is constantly fluctuating between anorexia and bulemia though.

i know sry i was just saying that to me 100 is tiny

It is tiny. Being anorexic doesn't make 100 a bigger number, it makes you afraid of a healthy weight. There's absolutely nothing wrong with weighing 100 pounds (except maybe that depending on your height you might be too thin.)

I've got a friend who's in a mental hospital RIGHT NOW being treated for anorexia (and other things, mostly depression and the fact that he tried to kill himself, but that's neither here nor there). And yes, this friend is a guy... and for the last 2-3 years, his weight's been hovering somewhere around 100 pounds. The lowest it got was 93. He looks like SHIT. But no matter what anyone said or did, he just would not eat. And his problems have nothing to do with body image or glamour or being thin. He uses it to distract himself from everything else in his life, because he is sick. It's a mental illness and it's not pretty.

Oh, and there's all the dangers. You can actually die from it. Back in February, my buddy tried (well, half-assed) to start getting better. He started putting weight back on, but by then his heart was so messed up from being so dangerously underweight that it couldn't take the stress of even a few extra pounds and he fucking had a heart attack and could've died. At 19 years old.

Think about that.

I have spent the last 3 years of my life battling with my weight. At my lowest I was 45kg (about 90lbs) and at 173cm tall. I am now about 54kg and a little healthier. I get my periods every 2nd month or so after not getting it for a year, and my fertility is screwed up forever.

But the physical side is nothing to whats happening to me mentally. Because I am a huge whale now its worse than ever, and every single day all I think about is my weight and food and exercise. Its NOT a fun life, but as vain as it sounds I would not have it any other way. Im not encouraging you though.

Imagine every night having shocking cramps from taking 10 laxatives and constantly having cramps. The pain was so unbearable and every night I said I was going to stop. My teeth are stained from throwing up so much and I have the bones of a 70 year old.

But if you want to go ahead and do this, and you are determined no one will stop you. But if you actually want to live past 20, go to college and have a family think about what you are wishing for.

its pathetic that instead of diet and exercise you wanna take the easy way out and be anorexic or bulimic... try being healthy!!! i used to be a big health freak but now i dont really care but im skinny anyways. dont be anorexic in the end there will be serious consequences

check pro-ana sites if you're so interested, but don't ask around here (blue dragonfly maybe). i've had more than my fair share of anorexic friends. i've gone through my own periods of starvation, but never because i thought i was fat, just depressed.

starvation is control
control is tough
bones are beautiful
when thin isn't enough

if you really think this way, you should get some help before you hurt yourself too much.

oh thats sad, r u healthy know brit?
Yes. But the state of mind never really full goes away.

Anorexia is a state of mind and a way of life. Someone can be 200lbs and still be considered sickly anorexic. I remember when I wasin the hospital there was a girl there who was just a little under 200lbs and she had to be hospitalized in fear of her having a heart attack, etc.

When I starved myself I became deeply depressed, paranoid, I was in denial and I became suspicious of everyone around me. I hated my body more than I ever had and no amount of weight I lost was ever enough. As soon as i'd reach one goal weight, i'd want to lose another 10kg, and another 10 and so on.

I never became underweight, in fact at my lightest I was considered a healthy weight for my size, but I was not a healthy individual mentally or physically. I was constipated, no laxetives could make the pain go away, I was vomitting alot because any food I ate made me feel so guilty I had to get rid of it. I was "cheating" my diet. I was always tired and light headed, a few times I fainted.

If none of this or what anyone else has said to you makes you realise then I hope this does: Once I started eating again, all the weight I lost went back on.

i fink anorexia just comes naturally, u can't force yrself 2 become anorexic. Its probz coz yr goin through puberty + yr hormones r all ova the place, that u feel this way. Every-1 tends 2 gain a little weight at some stage. But myb u sud just eat healthy, + don't skip meals coz u tend 2 gain more weight due 2 that.

i wish i was 100lbs

this is random and kinda dealing with this thread but starting tomorrow i am going on a water diet......tuesday-monday im not eating and only drinking water! im doing that so i will look better at school on the first day..(tuesday) so thats what im doing and i think i can live a week :)

You are an idiot.

Soiree is so right, this sort of talk really is a slap in the face to anyone who has suffered from an eating disorder. The ignorance is frightening really.

You are an idiot.


I second that!

read this, hopefully you'll change your mind before you kill yourself

being anerexic can really screw u up. my 1 friend Katie is, n she keeps fainting now

thats tread is soooooooo sad.

This has to be the most ignorant thread I've ever seen.

Did you know that anorexia can kill you? Did you know that people who are anorexic don't look good? Get a personal trainer if you have to.

I'd rather be overweight than anorexic. Chances are you're not fat, and you just think you are.

Insead of making this retarded thread, you could've been out exercising.

anorexia is mental plan that can take years 2 get ova, u feel depressed all time, contemplete suicide, paranoid, not confident, look terrible, wear baggy clothes, lie 2 parents + firends. its a terrible life 2 live u neva fully recover. u hate yrself. Get sum help u will hurt a lot of ppl.

this might seem morbid to you, but i have no other way of losing the weight, and i need someone who was or is an anorexic to guide me through my questions.

YOU HAVE NO OTHER WAY OF LOSING THE WEIGHT?! I'm sorry to be mean, but COME ON. Get off your lazy ass and exercize.

Walk/run for 30 minutes a day and eat healthy. Lots of veggies and fruits, grilled meat and not fried, tons of water, whole grained carbohydrates...etc.

Anorexia is stupid. You won't get anywhere good with it. If you want to lose weight, do it a healthy way, in a way that won't hurt you and your body.

visit my post called: tips for wieght loss or support

People never recover from Anorexia

but i have no other way of losing the weight

Yes, you do. However you are most likely to lazy and/or stupid to find and put into action any other way of losing weight.

People never recover from Anorexia
True, that's just the way ED's work. Every day the thought crosses my mind of where I should be in my self-starving cycle, every time I get upset my first reaction is to eat a tub of ice cream and throw it back up. It's not a fun way to live, let alone the physical aspects.

^ ice cream is the easiest thing to throw up, and it dosent taste foul either.

hhahahaha... yeah you gotta have some humour with it.

Yes, that's certainly the best of it, and I never really minded that so much. But then bingeing extends to everything in the kitchen and not everything (Cheezits, chips and salsa, Chinese) is that great when it comes back, and you have to wait 15 minutes to make sure no one notices, and the taste still lingers no matter how well you brush your teeth, and yet you get the urge to go through it all the time.

Hun, please, don't turn to anorexia to lose wieght. Many people have DIED FROM ANOREXIA and just one person dying from it is already one to many. If you really want to lose weight and you feel like they just aren't coming off like you'd like them to, ask your mom or dad to make an appointment with your doctor so you can ask them what you can do to lose weight.

But, you may not even need to lose weight, you may only need to tone your muscles, which can make you look like you've lost weight... Which you have actually done, but when you tone muscles, you burn fat, and muscle weighs more than fat.

Please, PLEASE don't turn to anorexia, or bulemia to lose wieght. You can really hurt your body and possibly even kill yourself. I've already had a friend go to the hospital for anorexia. She lost too much weight and her organs started failing and shutting down. If you deprive your body of food and nutritien, this will happen to you.

Why hasn't this thread been closed yet? This chick is asking for assistance in a mental disorder.

The irritating thing is the people asking these questions most likely already know how to lose the weight, they are just to lazy to do it the proper way.

exercize will help to lose weight

Girly, I used to be anorexic and do you know where that got me? I used to have a breast that fit my body, but because of what I did I lost like all of my chest. And it is so bad, your body will eventually shut down.

I'll pray for you. I can simpathize though. I reeeally know how your feeling. I loathe excersizing, but it is the best thing to do.

*hug*

P.S. send me an email if you'd like to talk. I won't complain and tell you "ohh your skinny don't lose weight" because I know I am skinny, but I know all the stuff about me that I don't like ANYWAY. Ya know?

God Bless

I know I am skinny, but I know all the stuff about me that I don't like ANYWAY. Ya know?

God Bless

If you know your skinny then why did you post a thread asking if 129/130 pounds was overweight for a 15 year old?
