constantly thinking about food Posted: 05-13-08 20:14pm
hi, i am new, 17 years old. i know i dont
currently have a problem but i am unsure
if i am headed in the direction of a
problem. lately i have been going a day
once in a while without eating any food.
other days i will consume about 1,000
calories. i know that this isnt a problem,
but lately i have been constantly thinking
about food, how much i have had and have
been attempting to throw up. i have never
been successful in throwing up but i have
wanted to be. when i go a few hours
without eating i feel proud of myself for
holding out so long.
any thought at all would b appreciated.
thank you so so much.

Please be careful...when you don't take in
enough food the body will start feeding
off other stores of energy and slow your
metabolism down greatly...gradually this
can lead to other problems such as strain
on the heart and weak bones. Please try to
maintain a healthy diet and get help if
you find it hard.

a good point would b to ask someone for
help, i dont want to waste time or act

a serious problem. when do you think it
would b appropriate?

You are already concerned for yourself.
Seek help now. You need to address this
problem with food before it gets out of
control. It can be a slippery slope when
you first start this and before you know
it you can not control your eating habits.
Bulimia will ravage your body. Before you
start down that path talk to someone.
