lolll i am SO not good with kilograms, i was like 'ZOMG thats light' then i went and weighed myself and i'm 54 but i'm not as tall as you either hm. anyways. hmmmm that sounds like it was a hard time. but you do know now that feeling ugly and fat was wrong and definitely not true, right? and that really you were healthy and the right weight for your height.. so now the only thing holding you back from stopping is that it's become a habit and even an addiction. well you say that it's too late for you now and you're stuck too deep, but you can still do it. If its 'just' a habit/addiction, then do what everyone does with bad habits, which is slowly wean yourself off them. in your case, i guess that'd mean trying to throw up less regularly, and slowly start to eat a bit more each day. And never do that thing where you binge eat, coz that'll put everything back to the start and you wont eat for ages, which is bad. you know you'll have to get rid of the habit eventually, you can't live your whole life this way, with the awful feelings coming and going, of the guilt of lying, of the guilt and shame of binge eating, and all the crappy emotions that come with bulimia.

i know i was a good weight for my height but now it has deffinately become out of controll and having the stress of exams in 3 days isnt helping. im trying really hard but its not working atm.
im going back to school the day b4 my exams for some last minute help and one of my teachers is really nice so i think i might talk to her about it and see if she can help me

thanks for all your support and advice

hmm well for now maybe it's best just to keep it in check, and concentrate on your exams. you can try harder at fixing it after your exams are done =]
it's really good that you have a nice teacher that you can talk to. i really hope she is able to help you =]
np, and i wish you the best of luck in your exams, and in breaking the habit =]

xox

hmmm you're not mean but you did things kinda wrong... but you know that now, right? well maybe you could try to be there for her and help her get rid of her bulimia.
but it's probs not a good idea to be there for her if you really don't want to get back with her, coz if she still feels something for you and then she thinks since your being nice means you do too, then she tries something and you reject her, that'll make her feel even worse...
but if it was me i'd be willing to get back with my ex, i'd want to try to heal the wound that i helped make.

You're not mean, but you shouldn't have broken up with her because she has an eating disorder. Aren't boyfriends supposed to help their girlfriends with their problems, not dump them over them? You should try to get her some help. Even now, if you care about her at all, she needs help, whether or not it's from her ex.

i never had an eating disorder, and i dont think i ever will.
i just looooove food.
i dont eat to live,i live to eat!

i am 120 pounds more or less, 5'2" in height.

i have a large bulging tummy and my thighs are kinda big(but not too much).
my arms and other parts of my body are alright.
i'm trying to lose weight, bcoz i think my tummy really sucks bigtime.

i'm not starving myself, i still eat everythng, only in smaller amounts.

and it's not a really big issue for me.
yes, i feel my tummy looks bad,
but it hasn't been a self esteem problem for me.
it hasn't affected me emotionally and mentally.

If you want to reduce your tummy a bit do excercise.
Reducing food amounts was what kind of started anorexia for me.
You keep making your portions smaller and smaller and smaller
until you don't even eat for a day or two.
Obviously if you eat a ton of junk food then you should reduce but
if you already eat well balanced and proportioned meals reduction would only harm you.

No one wants a girlfriend who looks like that.
You'll have no boobs and you'll be just plain ugly.
Seriously.
You're not fat.
Get over it.

i exercise.
i do crunches an i walk home from school.
what i meant by "reduced amount of food" is reducing the amount to normal ANd well balanced and proportioned from really eating like a cow.
and i only eat "regular" food.
i don't like low fat & reduced calorie stuff.
i eat everything , only in moeration.

I used to be anorexic. I first started when I was a junior. I liked this boy but he told me that my personality made up for my looks. I started starving myself to make myself look better but it didn't work. He saw me starve myself during lunch and didn't do anything. i never ate breakfast or lunch, only dinner cause I didn't want my parents knowing. That went on from November to january. That summer I told myself I was going to diet and eat healthy, that went down for 3 weeks. My aunt passed away and that was way hard. I started my anorexia again. This time I was going to theater school and I was doing a show with one of my close friends. We were anorexic buddies as u would call it. We made sure that we didn't really eat, we helped each other. One day my friend got really dizzy and almost passed out on the floor right in front of me. A few weeks later my body started shutting down. I was laying on my couch and my kidneys, ribs, and fingers hurt. I later lost feeling in my fingers and had a headache. I couldn't walk or talk without being in pain. I couldn't eat cause it hurt too bad.

Weeks went by and I was still anorexic. I stopped for awhile and went back over and over again. I always relapsed. I started not eating again this summer just because I was working long hours and had no time. I was at work and I almost passed out with my kidneys and body hurting again. I also remember relapsing when my sister was in the process of getting married because it was so stressful. I was afraid my parents would send me away and hospitalize me. My friends were concerned about me but I always told them I was ok when I really wasn't. Now that I am in college I have no scale and I won't stop eating. I don't know why, I need to cut down. i weigh between 95-98 pounds, when I was anorexic I went down to 90.

OKay, this entire topic angers me. So many things are wrong.

1. You can't STOP being Bulimic/Anorexic/Binge, any of it. You can't just stop. It is a disease. One that you have all your lives. This disease has to be clinically diagnosed. Some of you may have problems eating, but don't go saying you are Bulemic/Anorexic/Binge until you are DIAGNOSED by a doctor.

2. "I used to be Anorexic." No, you didn't. You either had a minor disorder that was undiagnosed, or you were diagnosed and you STILL HAVE ANOREXIA.

3. "You can just stop being Anorexic." Once again, no you can't. It is a disease that never goes away. Once you are diagnosed with it, it doesn't go away. There is no cure, you are at risk of doing it again ALL YOUR LIFE!

Please, know the facts before you start saying, "I used to be Anorexic." Do some research, look some stuff up, GO TO A DOCTOR IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE PROBLEMS!

You can't stop being Anorexic, but you can keep yourself healthy. The urge to not eat the right amount of food is very apparent in the person's life. But people can get themselves into a healthy lifestyle, it takes years, but people have done it. Anorexia is usually accompanied by other mental illnesses that make having a healthy lifestyle harder, so people have to have medication or a pschyatrist.

It takes years in and out of hospitals, but people do end up living a healthy lifestyle. But it isn't without extreme effort in everyday life. Even when they're healthy they still have those urges to throw their meal in the trash and go exercise for 3 hours.

And the same goes for Bulimia. The body becomes used to the vomiting, and it vomits automatically. But if you have the will to live a happy healthy life you get help.
