Q: overcoming anorexia

hi,
I'm 15, a girl, and for the past 2 years I have been struggling with anorexia and bulimia (although my friends only made me realise a few months ago). I have joined this site because I really want to talk to others who are going through/recovered from the same thing as me.
This sounds a bit odd, but I am really starting to miss it. I'm not sure what to do because I really want to stop eating, despite having just started to get a bit better. What makes it worse is that I have just found my stash of laxitives, and I can't bring myself to throw them away. All I can think about is how fat I am, and how good it feels to loose weight. I'm confussed with myself, is it normal to feel like this?? And to everyone who has got over an eating disorder, how did you find the strength to do it? I'm finding it extremly hard and am really depressed.

im 15 too! i find myself with this similar problem, i never struggeled with bulimia but i am happy to say i have overcome anorexia. i went through it for about a year and half. still though to this day i have moments, or days where i want to go back to that life before. i write myself crazy letters about how i really feel.. and how i want to become anorexic again. the next day i read the letters i wrote and i am in shock that i do not want to become that again! its a really big eye opener. one thing i do suggest if your not feeling thin enough. try the 3 day diet. i havnt tryed it yet, but im planning on trying it out! take a look at it!!! hope i could help!
