i am 17 and have had an eating disorder for the past 2 years, as hard as it's been for me to stop, i've tried to push past it. even though i'm only 5 feet tall and 105 lbs, i feel like i'm fat and disgusting. and even though i havent in awhile, i feel the urge to throw up after almost every meal. my 18th birthday is coming up and i really want to go shopping with my mom, but i'm so disgusted with myself i cant. i dont understand why i hate my body sooo much, but i do. has anyone overcome this or have any advice for me? i feel like no matter what my weight is, ill never be at peace with myself

It seems that this issue is related to your self-esteem. I'd suggest that you start to explore who you REALLY are either with counseling or via a mind-body practice like yoga. Self-acceptance can take a lifetime...but you're not alone. Look for a guide, and the guide will appear!
