Incoming Freshman...the Pressures On. Posted: 07-25-07 19:53pm
Im 14 years old and there are somedays
where i think im in good shape...
then there are days where i feel i should
lose 5 or 10 pounds really quick.
about a month ago i was bulimic for about
3 weeks.
there were days where i would never eat
and if i did i threw it up.
i stole diet pills from my cabinet and i
pretty much had no food in my body.
after 3 weeks of this i had a dance camp
to go to and
i almost passed out from the lack of food
i had in my body.
it was a dance camp where we danced from
9-4.
i stopped that day and started eating
normally again.
2 weeks of dance camp and i was fully
eating and fine.
now that dance camp is over,
im pretty much at home all the time doing
nothing
just like i was during that time where i
was bulimic.
ive already started taking the pills again
every day or so.
i dont know what i should do.
i dont want to go back to what i was doing
before...
i never told my parents.
i only told my closest friends.
i know 3 weeks isnt a long time but it did
affect me alot.
i mean i dont believe im overweight.
but when your about to go into highschool,
there are so many pressures with having
the "perfect" body.
and i thought getting skinnier would help
me feel better about myself
but it made me feel extremely worse.
those 3 weeks were the worst days of my
life.
i felt horrible about myself.
the depression hurt me really bad.
and i would cry alot.
i just want to tell people that you
shouldnt go bulimic, anorexic
or any other kind of eating disorders to
get skinny.
you may be as skinny as you wanted to be.
but youll hate yourself.
all youll think about is getting skinnier
and skinnier.
and you feel alone all the time.
Please dont do it.
Eating disorders are very addictive.
some people dont think so but they really
are.
I Dont know if diet pills will hurt me too
bad cuz i dont take too many.
But I Hate being overly obbessive with my
body.
how do i deal with this?
do i still have an eating disorder if i
take the pills?
Takin diet pills is not good for you, the
best advice would be to talk to a
therapist. They can help you overcome the
obsessiveness and get your life back to
normal. Your lucky you havent gone
through it that long there are some people
that have had this disorder for 10 yrs and
it ruins there lives. I suggest that you
find a therapist and talk to them about
this, so you can get back to normal and
you never have to go through this again.
