It Sounds Serious... Posted: 02-16-04 11:11am
A journey of a thousand miles starts with
just on step. You probably don't want
to hear this, but you need help. I know
you're 16 and you may feel this is
"normal" behavior, but its not. Looking
thin may make you feel good, you may even
look good, for now, but that will change.
You need to nip this in the bud before you
become seriously ill. The first thing
to do is talk to someone, if not your
parents then perhaps the school
councillor, or a friend, the coach might
be a good bet, they're not stupid and some
have been trained to spot eating disorders
and it would be easier talking on your
terms rather than theirs.
Being healthy is about effective
management of your body, not being thin.
Starving yourself is not the answer, a
lot of the weight you lose is muscle, most
of it is the fluid that your body needs to
survive.
The depression wont be helped either,
because no energy is coming in, your body
and mind feel tired ,under stimulated and
frustrated and its easier to think
negatively in these circumstances.
If you want to be healthy, active and look
good, eat healthy, be active and think
good!
Keep me posted ;d
