[angel-roh]

i was jus wondering if u do...cause i wana know how difficult u guys went through and all... i dont know i think i got anorexia...cause i dont eat a lot... i procrastinate from eating... i always think im too fat... i wish i didnt think that...but my stomach is tellin' me that... so yeah... but i wana eat...but too lazy... so yeah im scared... i think i have anorexia -_-

[inthemudhole]

Nope. I don't.

For those who are anorexic, just try your hardest to think positively about your self-image. I'm not exactly tiny, and I try hard to think positively, and most of the time.. it works.

[angel-roh]

i tried to think positive...but it's so hard nowadays... im weird. i tried to keep my shape good. try to be skinny...but my body looks scary T_T;;;

[inthemudhole]

I'm very sure you're beautiful.

Maybe just.. don't think about it much. Just keep it out of your mind as well as you can.

Be confident! You seem very cool, and I'm sure you're very pretty and your body is in great shape.

i've never been anorexic, however when I was on a swim team (our team was third or fourth in the united states) my crazy coach tried to get us on an "extreme diet" where we werent allowed to eat for a day, the next day just eat a bowl of vegetable soup, the next day a bowl of vegetable soup and a small peice of meat, increasing until sunday, where we don't eat and go through the cycle again.

are you kidding... that's like borderline anorexic. but it works ;) you increase your protein the rest of the week and on saturday you have regular healthy meals. but i dont think the whole "diet" is very good for you..

I'm not anorexic but I'm really really skinny or at least i don't think I'm anorexic...

i used to be anorexic...anorexic doesnt mean that u just dont eat...there is a mental disorder that you think you are fat even though you only weigh like 60 pounds or even less. its not a thing to be taken lightly about. it is actually a mental disorder that can actually kill a person. i've battled anorexia for 4 years. its really hard to overcome it, and there is still a little voice inside me that says you're 200 pounds lose weight. i've gotten better now..IM CHUBBY AGAIN! yay. i used to be like 87 lbs and i was like 5'4. i skipped eating breakfast and lunch. i didnt even have bad anorexia...i feel sorry for those people who were hardcore anorexic, many have died because of this..or is like barely a stick.

you cant really keep out of your mind, as i said, its a mental disorder. people with anorexia or any eating disorder dont really know it, they are like just a few more pounds, but they always set a goal to lose more weight after that. only family members and friends can truly see it and call for help. heck i think i wouldnt be here if my friends didnt tell my counselor about this in middleschool. i would just starve myself.

[xquizit]

I'm pretty skinny, but I'm the complete opposite of anorexic. I like to pig out and keep the food in my belly, not throw it up.

[silver-rain]

well, i don't think you have anorexia. like mini said, it's an eating disorder where you starve yourself because you think you're fat. if you're just not eating, that's not exactly anorexia. but, i've sorta had anorexia. like in middle school, i wouldn't eat lunch because i thought i was fat. but one day, i looked in a mirror, and you could see my ribs poking out... so i started eating again... but yeah. now i'm fat, but i'm trying not to be anorexic. hmm, my friend once told me about a girl who was anorexic that she starved herself so much, that she had to be hospitalized.

[ur_my_sweety20]

i don't reccommend starving yourself...i did a paper on eating disorders...not cool

[xHalf nHalf]

i have sympathy for ppl with eating disorders. i cant image ever going through that kind of physical and mental state...

[pbear]

No, I don't have anorexia.
I may think I'm fat, ugly, etc. but after seeing what it did to my friend, I try to stay upbeat about my image.
Yeah.

[LatinaLady]

i dont make myself look skinny by throwing up. i wiegh 127 which is fine with me. i would liek to be 120 but ill do it the safe way. idont have a problem with having extra weight. i always think positive.

o m g ...anerexia is the worse thing ever...i went through it and it was so hard to stop...like wen i was in 7th grade i had it big time.... id hardly eat lunch if i even decided to eat...dinner id try to make it a small portion but wen ppl would try to give me alot of somthing i could never finish it cus my stomach shrank from not eatting as much. I also started to become really sick...like id catch colds fast and run a high fever.It wasnt till 8th grade when my mom finally realized that i had an eatting disorder....My pants size drop from a 3 to a 1 and i hardly worked out so she was kinda suspesious..i had also skipped many periods too...Then she sent me to counciling and it was sooo hard to work with them...id also have ppl monitor me while eatting to make sure i was eatting enough. aarg....i finally came over it and now that i look back i hope that no one as to go through it cus it was one of the worst times every. I also had to change how i looked at myself in the mirror too..cus it was a mental thing...the counciler had given my some perscription thinger and i had to stay at the hospital thinge rfor quite some time so that they knew htat i was actually eatting....:( i musta stayed there for about a week..i hated it but now that i look back im so glad i went through with it and glad that i came over it...its really hard to come out of somthing like that....i just hope that no one else has to go through this like i have....there have been so many times wen all i wanted to do was just quit but i knew if i wanted to come over it that id have to keep on going with all the mess i was in already....but now im back to my normal self...eatting right and praying that ill never be anerexic again...

[sheddingtears]

I can't do that to myself. It would be very painful. I guess I have a fast metabolism, so it's okay for me to eat whenever I need to.

that isn't anorexia. that's bulimia you're thinking about.

[babygrl23]

I'm wondering, has anyone in here had to deal with Anorexia? I think I may be anorexic. I don't even know. When I think that I am...I find some way to convince myself I'm not. I've been looking at symptoms of Anorexia, and many of them apply to me. I'm really scared, so I was wondering if any of you had expiriences you could share with me.
Thanks! <3 Lauren

[head_0ver_heels]

When you look in the mirror do you see yourself as just being fat?? Because sometimes people with anorexia are like that.

[silver-rain]

eh, i used to be slightly anorexic. some signs are if you think you're fat, even though you're not, and therefore you eat less or not at all.
