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??

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.

hey there
i am terribly thin..i am not anorexic and never was....god's made each of us differently...some a little large...some very large...some thin and some very thin and some just medium..there are many things u can't change..the way you look,etc but u can change what's inside....i think u should just work on your personality and find who u truly are!!!1learn to love your self...with your flaws...u always have 1 person by your side..even if your whole world is against u..and that's urself!! u r always going to have to live with yourself..so just accept urself the way u r...list down stuff u're good at and make a list of compliments ppl have given u...love urself..no matter what..its really hard to get out of aneroxia..i can imagine...but you're only harming urself and the ones u love!! think about that...would u rather win a beauty paegant or have a book published on u..highlighting your talents and achievements as a person who's found a cure for cancer???you make the decision...and i'm sure u'll make the right one!!
