I saw these foruns and decided to stop
by.
Fom some years, since i'm 12 or so, i've
felt ashamed about my body and started to
have worried about weight and food.
Now, i'm almost 21 and started to vomit
some months ago. I can't control myself
when I start eating. I weent to the
doctor but didn't tell the whole truth,
only that I wanted to lose weight -
because I didn't want a diagnosis as if I
was an assumed ill person, but as a normal
one. The doctor told me my weight is
great and even that my body fat levels are
just fine, but I feel fat fat fat and
completely under control...
I need to talk... I feel a mess... I
don't feel good doing this because I know
there are people who love me trully and I
love them too... But I want to feel ok
and stop having these "uncontrol
attacks"... Can you give me a hand,
please?

Best help you can get is medical help,
speak with you gp. If not, speak with
your family. Such a heavy burden can be
less if you share your pain with your
family.

About understanding...
I am 27 and I have just recently found out
how understanding a family can really be.
Growing up I thought that my parents would
never understand problems that I had and
would be angry, pissed, disown me, etc.
But the truth is, even if you and others
can't see it, is that a family can and
maybe needs to go through difficult things
together. That may be confusing, but I
really believe that only 1 in 10 parents
would say " your a dumb@%*" or something
like that. And if your parents are that
way, you don't need to be in that
environment anyway and that environment is
probably where your problems began in the
first place.
My family acted as though we were ok and
to everyone on the outside we seemed
great. We would even go on family
vacations and mom would take me shopping,
but we didn't know each other, we just
lived in the same house. When my parents
found out about my brothers problems and
then mine, we have actually gotten through
them all and have become a better family
because of it.
I really think that if you tell an adult
you trust how you feel without holding
anything back then you will get help. And
not just someone telling you they are
disappointed in you, but if you are strong
and tell them what you are thinking as if
they were on here and you didn't know them
then they will include you in the plans
for getting your self some help instead of
just telling you what you need to do.

i tried, for a few times, to show them how
I felt and how I wanted to be and so on,
but it never worked. I have to be the
perfect daughter, so I don't get the
attention in the way I need - looking at
me as someone who feels bad, for
example...
Today I went to the daughter and she took
me to the psychiatrist. I'm going back
there on march 29. With all these
impulsive eating attacks, i've even gained
weight - even throwing up... :(
