Ok so recently in school i was walking down the main corridor to over hear a conversation about making yourself sick, the girls were dicussing what they use, toothbrush handles, fingers.
These girls where as fat as my little finger and they where discussing how to lose weight by vomitting

I just wanted to let people know that this can be VERY harmful to your insides! When food has reached your belly the stomach acid gets to work desolving it ready for digestion, the walls of your stomach are adapted for the acid, but when you make yourself sick it is not only the food that comes up, it is the acid too. This is harmful because it comes into contact with parts of your insides that arent adapted are begins to desovle them instead.

Your really need to consider if you do actually need to lose weight or weather it is your consience saying "I must lose Weight".
A good way to check is to log on to google and search 'Calculate BMI' click on one of the links and you are asked to enter your weight and height and this gives you a number to refer to a chart displayed.

I hope this helped people who are struggling with eating disorders. x

Almost everyone already knows this information, and you're suggestion to people with eating disorders to check their BMI or something like that isn't gonna be helpful.
Many people w/ eating disorders obsess over their BMI. They calculate it compulsively and are never satisfied with it cuz most people who have eating disorders think they're obese even if they aren't.
If they fall into overweight, they absolutely hate themselves. If they fall into normal, they still think that they're horribly obese and obsess over the fact that they're not the lowest of the normal catagory. they think most of normal is still fat. If they fall into underweight, they just think that everyone else is f**king crazy and fat. That they must have adjusted it because everyone in this country is so obese. They think that their body fat levels are still high, they must just have too little muscle mass or something like that. They twist everything around to mean that they're fat.
It doesn't matter what they look like, they'll always see themselves as fat and ugly because most people with eating disorders have some form of body dysmorphic disorder which means that when they look in a mirror, they don't see what other people see when they look at them. They see themselves as fatter and uglier than they really are.

That turned into a bit of a rant...
