anorexia Promise - Eating Disorder Recovery Message Board

Hannie · 05-21-2005, 05:04 PM

Hey, I'm 5ft3" and 93lbs. I feel huge, but I guess I'm not majorly obesse. Ive just recently done a thread 'bloated' and realized basically i'm eating all the wrong types of food. I've cut down hugely on food and made myself a promise in the bathroom mirror today...'I shall be skinny and I shall succeed' and without adoubt I intend to keep that promise. But there is something holding me back... is this such a stupid thing to do? I'm just so confused at the moment, I have to many things going on, i feel sick, i feel depressed, what should I do? All i know is that I want to be skinnier, not that I'm fat already, I know im skinner, but I don't look it, I just want to be stick thin, thin thin and thinner, how can I achieve this? I'm SOOOOO confused.
Please please help me

Yes, u are confused... there are people reading this who are suffering badly from eating disorders (apparently yourself included). Nobody's gonna tell you how to be skinnier - this board is not pro-anorexia. Hope u get better.

O hun, thats horrible!! a lot of gurls on this site are thinking the same things..but 93 lbs at 5'3?? thats underweight...im 5'2 and weigh somewheres over 100...(i dont weigh myself) and i am still gaining. i never really had the anorexia, all bulimia. but i would fast from time to time. hannie, be4 things get worse id go imeediately to a professional and seek help! u prolly hear that every single time u ask for advice, but it is so true!! u have to go for help. i did and i am doing WAY better....not 100% but day by day counts.

I hope i helped and stay strong

I would try and seek help, though i'm scared! it'll only worry my family, and ive only just persuaded them that i'm fine. I still don't know what to do. I really dont look that skinny. People say that I should gain weight but it scares me so much to. I dont want to see a doctor because he'll tell me the same things that everyone tells me.
What really am I ment to believe? What should I do?
