I have always had a huge weight issue since I was little. That I never wanted to be fat my father would always make comments to everyone in my family like if u were to eat something fattening he would always say you better go to the gym later or tomorrow to burn that off!!! This has been goin on since I was alittle kid!! Its horrible now that I am older I realize that the things that he did were horrible and made me the way that I am today and I get told well there is nothing wrogn with you but in my mind its like I will never be perfect for him. So not only do I go thru stages were I will starve my self but then if I do eat something I will either throw up or I also go throught stages were I constantly pop diet pills with ephedra. I found a website where I am able to have them shipped to my house. Then I will go work out for hours and kill my self!! Then last summer I had gone thru an abortion and that caused me to really go thru bad times. I know most ppl when u are sad or what ever u eat im the opposite I starve my self and get my self so upset that I make my self throw up! I really just think that I need help. I dont know what to tell. I feel like my father has scared me for life. If I go to eat something I hear his voice in my head saying you better have your ass at the gym tomorrow working that off, do you want to be fat?

Please help amanda

Hi,

have you seeked professional help at all for your problems? It might help to speak to a counsellor maybe. You could maybe think about speaking to a doctor also - they sometimes prescribe anti-depressants to reduce the compulsive behaviour.

This website may also be of some use to you:
