I Have An Eating Disorder

It'S Time For Change

By: violetviola
Written on January 30th, 2013
I have had body issues since i was in fourth grade. It wasn't until 7th grade that i started starving myself. I just started losing weight and it made me feel better about myself. When i hit high school i would eat one snack and then one meal (dinner with my parents). Now i am 20 and realize that i NEED to get healthy. I look in the mirror and im disgusted by how boney i look! But every time i try and gain weight i tell myself I'm getting fat so i start the cycle all over again. I just want to be healthy and love my body. I weigh 94lbs with all my cloths and shoes On...I plan on gaining at least 3-5lbs by the end of.next month.

    The same happen to me , I staved myself from 14-17 and from 17-19 I gained 30-40 pounds . I now LOVE LOVE LOVE my body and think im beautiful , but now my BF i just moved in with said i looked pregnant a couple weeks ago , now i throw up every meal , he makes me feel so bad , i met him when i was 101 pounds , now im 138 . and lost about 15 pounds in the last 2 weeks. Im scared because i know that im starting to have an eating disorder again . I hated myself when I was skinny . - glad i met people like me , i cant do this alone

    I relate to this story so much, except I'm well within the healthy weight category.... I feel ridiculous telling you I relate to you, but when I look in the mirror my ribs are prominent. I am literally big-boned which makes me look bony though I'm nowhere near underweight. My collar bone juts out. My spine is knobby and hurts when I sit back in a hard chair. Yet I have a belly and inner thighs that won't go away....

    Girlfriend!
    You & I have lots in common, look start off small. Don't try to pig out from the start bc it will cause you Nausea, just eat what you crave! If its chicken mc nuggets go for it, if its sweets go for it. Just don't exaggerate w/ the amount to begin w/. You got this, you'll see curves you hadn't in a while. Just remember that curves look great on every body!
