| hii,
ermm, im just wondering if anyone ever feels that they don't need food.I feel rather hypocritical because I have replied to people with advice but they arent me! I have been a diagnosed anorexic for 2 years now and am constantly fighting to get better. Anyway I have been trying to stop this habit for a long time but I always have a problem eating. I get nervous around food and when I do eat I am sick (not purging just a reaction my body has to it). I look in the mirror and each day I seem to be getting fatter so I don't eat but the more I don't eat the fatter my image appears. Because I reject food I often feel that I don't need food. I wear clothes that are far too big for me to hide myself because I constantly worryy about what people are going to say about my image. Also I have found that I can't participate in sports as fully as I used to. When I do I get out of breathe and sometimes pass out. I often lie about my weight and size in clothes aswell as my eating habits. Sometimes I want t tell the truth but I just can't. Is it normal for me to be able to lie so freely even when I don't want to. Also I find it very hard to sleep. Please has anyone got anyadvice on any of my problems. I have spoken to my doctor, but its much harder to discuss things face to face rather than over the internet which is why I am asking you Love natalie |
i just want to say that as a person that has a eating disorder not as bad as you but i just want to say when you don't eat it actually makes you gain fat because your body is naturally reacting to not getting any fat so it stores it up witch in turn makes you fatter when you don't eat you don't lose fat you lose vitamins and minerals that are keeping your body going you can be thin and eat you just have to eat right and as far as thinking your fat when your not, go online and google parasite detox and click on as many things as you can and read as much information as you can because i did and now i look at my self and go wow i am toooo skinny
and i try to gain weight but healthy weight not fatty sugar clogging artery weight so go to a health food store and a lot of times if they know about homeopath witch is kinda like natural medicine they can give you something for your emotions about you thinking you're fat and it will make you a happier person also i would insist reading the bible but a study bible so you can understand what its talking about but it talks a lot about health and things its very interesting, good luck and be happy dont worry so much on how you look im sure your beautiful
