Dear Sweetheart
I think that at 14 its pretty normal to be consious about your appearance. it looks as if you eat to cope with stress but bingeing only adds on to the stress by making you feel guilty and disgusted with yourself. try going for a run or skipping whenevr you are upset. it really helps to up your spirits and its great for your body too.
