I think I might have an eating disorder. I eat only one meal a day (dinner) Probably around 500-700 calories and then I exercise for about 1 to 2 hours. Once I got upset at a holiday dinner and tried to make myself purge but was not successful. I haven't tried that since. Do you think I have an eating disorder??

 

Hey girl! Sounds like you definitely have an unhealthy relationship with food. Talk to someone about your eating habits. It's important to get help before it progresses into something more serious and dangerous.

Mod please. I have tried twice today to make myself throw up but not succeeded. Does that mean I'm still bulimic?

 

Theres never a good reason to make yourself throw up. I suggest you stop trying and focus on eating healthy and youll be fine Smile xoxo kerra

MOD MOD MOD My mom said that girls at this age (11-18) could lose weight easily by just semi-starving herself for like a week [like eating one meal a day with light snacks], she knows because she used to do this and she was in total control of herself, so it wasn't really anorexia. I am overweight (because I eat too much), so do you think that this works? I don't know if I want to try it, but it seems like the easiest way since I don't eat very healthy. HELP!

 

Hey girl! This way is super unhealthy. It's called crash dieting and can often rebound to make you gain even more weight. I would not recommened taking your mom's advice. The best way is to eat right and exercise daily. It may be hard but you'll see the best results!

MOD MOD MOD!!!! i think i have an eating disorder. i barely eat like maybe 800 cals a day but then exercise off about 400. i obviously keep track of cals and im terribly afraid of gaining weight. i told my friend but she was like "So eat!". i can't do that! i mean im disgusted with myself when i eat even the littlest things. please help me!

 

Hey doll.  Keeping track of calories and feeling bad for eating are definitely signs of an eating disorder and you need to get help immediately.  Talk with an adult you can trust, like your mom or school counselor, and let them know what you're going through so they can find you the help you need.  Here are some resources you can also use that are specifically for people dealing with eating disorders:
 

National Eating Disorders Association

The National Eating Disorders Association’s website, edap.org, offers information for teenagers about the signs of eating disorders, treatment programs, referrals, and programs in their area. Their hotline, 1-800-931-2237, offers immediate help.



Mirror Mirror

The Eating Disorders Mirror Mirror site, mirror-mirror.org/eatdis.htm, offers guidance to those who are on the road to recovery and support to those who are looking for it. There are also links to other resources and descriptions of symptoms and warning signs of eating disorders.


It's great that you're seeking help and you will be ok!

Hey chicky, it may be best to talk to your doctor. Your appetite could be changing as a result of something happening to your bod, so to make sure it isn't something serious, scheldue an appointment. Smile

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!!!! Hi i have a really bad case of anorexia nervosa. I want to tell my friends but im afraid they won't understand and just try to talk me out of my eating disorder. Please help!!

 

Hey chicky, I'm sure your friends will only try to help you, but if you're not ready to tell them yet, don't. Wait until you feel comfortable and them let them know. Just be prepared for their reactions.

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!! Hi i have anorexia nervosa and i know that for a fact beacause i keep losing weight and i only eat three times a day.

i think i may have anerexica. i have gotten to where i only eat one meal a day and a snack. how cn i tell?




Hey babe, try talking to an adult about it. Keeping good nutrition is important to growing up! 3 meals a day, a snack, and dessert is well balanced, and one meal is not enough to keep anyone fueled! You need food to fuel your body and give you energy.  Good luck!

MOD MOD MOD MOD i think i have an eating disorder. Its none of them. All of a sudden im not hungry, i never eat only small amounts of eeach meal. Sometimes i dont eat dinner, i want to gain weight though, im only 90 lbs at the age 0f 14, im 5/1 1/2FT. i dont know what wrong with me. i am always tired but in a happy mood. My body aches at night, and i have lots of discharge, what is happening to me. btw i havent had my period yet so ya. so plz help me~~~~~~!!!!!!!!




Hey girl, sounds like what you've got is a mixed of puberty and something else. It's natural before your period for your appetite to fluctuate, but if you're not feeling so great, you need to tell your 'rents and doc. They'll be able to tell you from there how you can get healthy.
