Well kayla, it certainle sounds like you have an eating disorder with several emotional factors. You said all you see is fat on your body when no one else does, you mentioned that you ae reading articles that promote anorexia and weight loss and you said you are sick of being on a diet all the time and feel self-concious about yourself. This is all criteria for an eating disorder and you seem to have a lot of epople hwho care about you. Please get help, ask anyone who has been through this and they will tell you how you could suffer in silence and pain for years. You know you don't deserve that, if you think you have an eating disorder, plase get help. Please take care of yourself and let me know how you're doing.

Kayla, you know that having only that for a day is not good. First of all, it's a cake, it's not healthy, and then, it's too less!!!!!
Why don't you really improve your eating? It's hardm, but if you don't, you will surely end up like me, competelly messed up and ill, if no tworse - dead as it happened to mxgurlie.
Think about that and get help!

that's not the point. :p the point is that you can have them sometimes, but they aren't a meal, they aren't nourishing and healthy for you to make a living of them! :p

Hi,

i feel your pain. If it is something you put out here and ask for help, then realize that it is a problem. If you are in school, then you have a long life ahead of you. Can you imagine living it like you live your life now? Try to get some professional help before it is too late. I wish after decades that I had tried to get help sooner, rather then later. Good luck

Please, please, please kayla, get some help. Is there someone that you can talk to about your problems like a family member, friend or a doctor?

I'm proud of you that you can write to this forum and admit that you have a problem, that is the first step to becoming a healthy person again in body and spirit.

It will be a long road ahead but with persistance, love, determination and strength you will be able to do it!

Was there some personal issues in your life that made you feel this way? Please let us know how you are going.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Kayla, what have you been doing lately? Have you gone to a doctor or spoken to a family member you trust to help and understand you?
I'm going back to my therapy today. Some weeks ago I got so anxious that I called my therapist and asked her to go back on this. Today i'm feeling nervous. At least I don't have classes. Being at the university sometimes kills my nerves, I get so frustrated.
But try to empty your head, sweep all those thoughts. Do you have a hobbie or something like that, that could help you use your time and thinking of other things? As some people already know, I like making beads necklaces and things, drawing, reading.. What about you?
Tell us what we can do to help you, ok?

i really think that you can make huge progress. First of all, there you are, admiting that you have a problem. Then, you still can analise it and see exactly what's going wrong. I think you can really work that and give you the treu value you are worth: millions of it!
Be strong, i'll be here!

I think I know half of my problem for falling into the dieting crowd at early age it is because (i think) that I think - I know I am ugly and I dont like the way I look and I do think I am fat so I mix those two things together and I think that not only dieting will make me lose weight but change the way my face looks and I thought about this because everytime I start thinking bout the way I look I go on a diet ....So can someon plz tell me if the 2 think this contributes to my problem!??????>>>>>>> ....

Beauty Comes From Within.......

Kayla, from what I have read, this is more of a "control" thing. Something or things in your life is so out of whack, that you feel you have lost control. Eating and what you consume is something that you can control. Am I making sense? Yes, other factors in your life, such as you feeling that you are ugly can attribute to the fact you think also you are fact and need to diet. You have taken the first step.....That is to admit you have a problem. Yes, its called and eating disorder. There are many places you can go to get help for this. I myself, being the control freak I am, decided to take my life back. I was not going to starve myself to death and do irrepairable damage to my insides. I found a healthy diet and starting one day I made myself eat. You are young, so young and your body needs nutrients that it is not getting. Please, put your big girl panties on girlfriend and take care of you. Look at yourself in the mirror everyday and tell yourself," I am a beautiful person." and when you do this believe it. Beauty comes from within. Society today focuses too damned much on what and how people look. Always here to cheer you on! Laughing
