Hey you should definitely should see a doctor. I know that might be hard but eating disorders can strike any person of any age so there is nothing to be ashamed of. You have a disease and like most disease its going to take medical help to cure you. Not only are you starving yourself pretty much you are damaging the lining of your stomach and throat! So please see a doctor before its to late! Hope it goes well!

Yes you really need to go see a doctor. You have nothing to be ashamed of with the way the media is these days everyone wants to have that perfect body and most people would do anything to get it. I myself am over weight and I hate it, but you know if people cant like me for who I am then id rather not know them anyways. Everyone has problems and everyone is embarrassed but the truth is we all need to learn to open up so we help each other and get better. Please go see a doctor because you are doing so much damage to your body. Good luck! I hope you get better!

your message broke my heart. I also struggled with food and feeling full and hating my body for over ten years. It has nothing to do with age or intelligence. It is caused by many psychological & physical factors. First & most important of all, don't beat yourself up for this! That will only perpetuate your self-destructive behavior.

The only thing that helped me, besides counseling to get at the root of my emotoins, was eating 3 healthy low-fat meals every day. I found that once I ate enough, and cut out the junk (which after a time I didn't even miss at all), I lost my cravings to binge and, of course, purge.

I'm not over this yet by a long shot, but I haven't thrown up in nearly a year. You can do it, but it takes alot of work and you cant "just stop". Ask for help ~ get a good threrapist & nutritionist who know about eating disorders. Hang in there!
