hello lately i have begun to stop eating
for 2 or 3 days then binge for a next 2
days. i hate constantly thinking about how
much i eat but i dance and have never been
small. i have recently been cast in a show
and one of the dances i am lifted numerous
times by my partner. i am double cast and
my double is a very very skinny small
woman. i am 18 and muscular, not small and
envy her body. i have attempted to throw
up 6 times but can never finish the job, i
always cough and try sticking the back of
my toothbrush down my throat but always
stop when it doesnt come immediately. i
was just wondering if anyone had any
advice? im starting to feel faint more and
more and cant seem to stop myself from
skipping breakfast and lunch and then
binging for dinner and then feeling more
guilty than ever. thank you so so much.

not sure Posted: 02-10-08 03:35am
im not sure, i dont think its gotten to be
that big of a deal, i just dont know when
it starts to be a problem, i have a friend
who is also a dancer and she recently got
way too thin, we arent too close but i
helped her to gain back some weight and be
more ok with her body. then i found myself
almost asking her how she lost so much
weight, so that i could do it, i was
jealous. i would never want anyone else to
do some of the things ive thought about
trying. tonight even i had ice cream and
now feel horrible that i let myself go, i
only havent tried to throw it up because
my parents are home. since ive never been
successful at throwing up, it probably
doesnt count as anything. i dont know. i
just dont want to involve my family or
anything, if i were to talk to anyone do
you know how i could go about it
anonimousy?

Hi, i started my anorexia, when i caught
myself on the thought i was looking
jealously at girls with very skinny
body...i said to myself, i am strong
enough to be kind and not envy jealous
girl...if i want smth i get it and not
envy...so i got as skinny as a model. and
you know, then i struggled to be most
clever and studied 14 hours a day and one
day everything collapsed, i realised that
i need to find my own way...
sooo find a friend in yourself and believe
in your unique abilities...Bulimia is a
suicide. just stop purging or laxatives,
even if u have binged ,it is ok. entertain
yourself, go disco dancing or meet with
friends, read books ...be busy being
happy!
I am sure u as a dancer can loose weight
easier than those who seat in the office
from 9 to 18. so be happy, and please dont
kil yoursellf with bulimia or anorexia!
