anyone have anorexia? Options

[elle]

im dealing with anorexia right now...i usually only have 300 cals a day maybe a little more and when i do eat i work out so i burn it all off

[xoxspanky569]

I've never been anorexic but i did a HUGE project about it in health class. Like head_0ver_heels said, if you see yourself as fat, that may be a sign. There is a few common signs of anorexia, here they are.

1. you have thick hair on your arms (your body grows this to make up for the fat you've lost on your arms)
2. you find yourself hiding your food often, or throwing it away
3. you're period has stopped
4. you get bruises easily ( i guess your skin is weaker than normal, so just doing simple stuff, like leaning against a wall for instance can give you bruises)
5. you are CONSTANTLY worried about your weight, it's the only thing you think of
6. people are telling you you should gain some weight

i think your best bet is to talk to a trusted adult about this, because there is only so much we can do because we've never physically seen you.

Here is a test i found online, please take it.

I used to be anorexic.

When my nephew died, I got really depressed and I started cutting and not eating anything. At that time, I weighed about 120, then a few months later I checked my weight again and I weighed just about 100. I gained weight since then, I'm now 110.

I used to always think I was fat. I still think I am occasionally. But, my boyfriend and friends try to convince me otherwise. I'm doing better.

If you need any help with any of this, feel free to IM me or e-mail me.

people think im anorexic... im not cuz they always complain about how skinny i am..

[fallen_angel1137]

I have a friend who is...so i have a very good idea of what its like...sadly. If you ever need to talk feel free to IM me...

I think I'm borderline anorexic. I get afraid of eating sometimes.

[sophie_007]

never heard of it b4..im realli skinny..o_O at least ur healthy-ish

[Black Tie]

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

anyhow.. let me comment on your question (which i did not take the 30 seconds out of my sad sad life to read)

Anorexia usually starts when someone tell you your fat, or imperfect or some other ****.

and OH NOES!!!11!!11!!! PLEASE DONT LET IT SHOW TO YOUR HUMBLE READERS SUCH AS MYSELF THAT YOU ARE INDEED IMPERFECT!!!!!!!!!!3113121@~!`!!!!111!12

starving your body of food is just a way of saying that you dont like yourself

and your avator bleekly discribes that you are un-happy

sooooooooooooooooooooo

heres what you should do... right now


find the person who called you fat or whatever.

then kill them ever so slowly

the way you kill them can be your little secret (we dont need to know)

but remember, REVENGE IS A DISH BEST SERVED COOOOOLLD

so, make it HURT




uhhh

you could do that, or just go take a bunch of sleeping pills and kill yourself

either one would me me happy

[kraziegrl]

never. food is too good =]

[*x____duckii*]

never. food is too good =]

^^ True

wtf. not eating doesnt mean that you dont like yourself - it just means that you're willing to make sacrifices to be a better person and i dont think your avatar shows that you're unhappy. fools. a friend of mine was anorexic, she was very skinny to start out with, but shes all better now

[JustPeachy]

sometimes i'm like afriad to eat cuz once i eat a lil i can't stop unless i'm doing somthin active or i'm with my friends. i'm really bad about food in that way. i know i'm not fat and i'v never been called fat but i'm more afraid of what will happen in the future if i keep eating like i do, also i dance and there are so many exremely skinny people that are sposed to be my roll models and i want to look like them. and i always regret everything i eat. but i don't think i could ever be totaly anorexic cuz i just like food to much and i have NO self control

ugh this is depresing

[Behbi_Simplicity]

I <3 My Body. I`ll eat when i want too. I exercise a lot cause I want my body to stay in fit. Yeah, I have fears of gettin` fat but you know what? Life`s short. Choosing the anorexic way isn`t gonna make you any sexier or prettier then you already are. Whatever it`s your guys life. If you wanna get skinnier, choose the healthier way. Eat, Exercise, & stay patient.

[lyin_in_wait]

if u eat peanut butter and a cracker and thats it for like 2 months convincing ur self that that will make u skinny then u may have a problem

[elmogurly]

i've seen a lot of movies on it..

but never dealed with it..in any case..

[MeanBastard]

Anorexic people should blah. SO low on self esteem.

[cutielilsuga]

nope i never had to deal with that at all

[freeflow]

i never had to deal with it


BUT people called me anorexic at school because i was 13 & weighed 80-90 pounds & a few of my friends sayd i looked anorexic and some people asked me if i was ! it sorta hurts wen people say that about yu but thats the closest thing that i i had to deal with !

[mouse_3k]

look at urself and ask urself "am i fat" when ur really like 112 pounds? do u not eat because u want to lose weight? thts anorexia.

i hadda deal with it sorta. I wasnt fully anorexic, but i had "Disordered Eating". its when something dramatic happen in your life and u have a major change in eating. something happened with me and john and his friends and everything was SO messed up. long story but when tht happen, i only ate a small dinner a day. Im still recovering from it even though it happened in June. but yah, i didnt think i was fat, i was juse to depressed to eat so i guess tht made a difference from a anorexic.

if you stop eating or eat less (way less) then u use to before because u think ur fat, even though ur probably like 100 pounds, then ur anorexic

[xsweetdreams12x]

Do you not eat most of your meals? And look in the mirror and think "I need to lose just 10 more pounds..." That's anorexia.

You may want to consult a doctor and your parents about this.

[mizz_mithy]

i know this girl that used to be an anorexia. the year b4 she went on this diet then stopped eating.she says when she looked in the mirror she said she looked fat. and she was teased so badly that she was afraid of becoming fat again. i suggest u go to a doctor quickly b4 it's too late.

[xolilkatie]

if you think you're anorexic.. then you're not

when you're anorexic you think you're fat no matter what anyone tells you.

[sheddingtears]

I don't like doing that to my body. I eat whenever I need to eat. It's obviously NOT healthy. Try to regain the appetite you once had and exercise. You'll be fine.

[me_myself_andi20...]

well my friend told me i had gigantic thighs.... so i stopped eating.. lost 12 pounds....... better now!

[picaso_smile]

If you stop eating worknig out won't really help much. You'r body stops digesting and doesn't let you burn calories like normal. Chances are you'll just get very tired.
