Hello, I am 14 and I have been in hospitals with people that have eating disorders. I see how skinny they are and think to myself. " it worked for them, it should be able to work for me." I mean I know its very sad. I am very selfish. But I always see myself turning down meals because I think that im too fat. I hide that from alot of people. I tell them im not hungry or my stomach hurts or something. I have never been a good eater, and notw its worse. I don't know. I guess im just wasting time.

You bothe shouldnt do that to your bodies. I use to weight 195 lbs I was depressed I didnt know what to do I would make my selfe throw up so I wouldn feel guilty because I ate food. I got tired of touturing my body so I started looking for ways to loose waight. I thought of things I like. I like soccer so I joined a soccer team I didnt care how fat I looked next to all the slim girls I did all the exercise they did I have it all I had and every night before I went to sleep I feelt good and pround of my self I didnt start to loose weight fast but I keept getting stronger when I started I could barely run for half an hour .After I could run two hours non stop all this exercise keept my mind of food I even got hungrier I would eat and half an hour later I would go out and jog. Thats how I got life toghether by doing things I enoy you shoul try it
