hey everyone...so a ton of ppl tell me im anorexic because i dont eat. and every day i deny it, even tho it is pretty true..i rarely eat lunch, unless i am really hungry, my breakfast is really small...and the only main meal i eat is dinner, because my mom is there. the amount i eat in one day is probably the same size as a normal persons lunch...evry one tells me im stupid, and that i have something wrong with me...is it true?? i do it because i can control that, not anything else...so all u anorexic ppl out there...why do you do it??

i know what your going through. not too long ago i went through an eating disorder and i would only eat once a day and i couldnt even finish one of those small bags of chips. ignore all of the people calling you stupid and making fun of you. they have no idea what your going through. you should really see a doctor before it gets worse. they can help you before something really bad happens. be strong and youll be able to over come this.

keep your hopes up and talk to a doctor about ways to cure this. Be strong.

Anorexia isn't a joke, it's a very serious illness and it ruins people's lives, even killing some. If you really think you are suffering from anorexia, surely you should be seeking professional medical help? I suffer from an eating disorder, but it's not a very usual one (it isn't anorexia or bulimia) but it's very important that you get the help you need before it gets too serious.

Actaully being anerexic is a disease. It's nothing to be taken lightly. Too many people die of this disease. Maybe you should get some professonial treatment. Go talk to your school counselor or your doctor. Maybe they could help you get a therapist or someone that can really help you.

I've been there, before. I know how it feels. My friends would make fun of me for having such tiny lunches (I would eat about half a sandwich), but they had no idea what I was going through.

IGNORE the people who make fun of you and tell you that you're stupid. The truth is, if you really do have anorexia, you are sick. You can't help it. I really think that you should tell someone about this, if nobody knows yet. Anorexia causes a lot of problems with your body later on in life. It ruins your metabolism and a bunch of other things. Definitely let somebody know. I know its easier said than done, though.

So to answer your question, YES there is something wrong with you. But you are NOT stupid, you are just ill. And its not your fault.

I used to starve myself because I was depressed, and I felt like my life was going out of control. Limiting the amount I ate gave me a sense of control. I also really wanted to be thin, I felt maybe I'd be happier if I were skinnier, even though I was already underweight. This was all just this past December.

But I am SO happy that my parents found out about this and got me help. You need to get help, too. Believe me, you'll be much happier once your healthy again.

Sorry this is so long.
