I would be more than happy to talk with you
about pro-anorexica. I myself am in the same
boat and used to be anorexic and bullimic. I
recovered, yet ended up gaining a little of
unwanted weight, therefore I am trying to
start again. I would really enjoy taling with
someone. |

Hi, my name is Rachel and I am 21. I have
suffered from eating problems since very
young. They got really bad from age 13 on
wards. They went away a bit but now back.
(dnt worry, not as bad as they used to be so
it does get better!!)
I went through not eating, over exercising,
bulimia, binging, blah blah blah. I am quite
an expert as I have been to clinics and read
so many books on . If you need any help or
ideas to get better then I would be happy to
help. Just talking about it makes you feel
less lonely and that it is not so "bad" or
you are not so bad for doing it.
So email or msg me back if you want to chat.
xx |

DONT DO IT!! dnt go on pro-ana sites, they
will just make you feel worse about urself
and not better. I can see why you want to
though, you want to try and kick ur self into
losing weight and you think this will do it.
It prob wont. If you wana talk then I would
be happy to talk with you. Eating
disorders--bulimia, anorexia, compulsive
overeating is such a lonely disease it is
hard for people to understand our crazy logic
and how we think, feel and react to thiness.
chat to me if you want. xx |

Hi my name is Sarah, not really sure about
this whole chat room thing but need a
stranger to talk with right now. I have had
some kind of eating disorder since i was
15/16 i am now 24 and it is getting me down
more than ever. I moved away from my home
town more than a year ago and live abroad
with my boyfriend (he who is turning more
into my best friend as the days go by because
of this whole eating thing. It is such a
vicious circle, i cant exatly say i am
bulemic or anoerexic because i am not i just
have a eating disorder! Sounds strange hey,
well all i now is i plan my food to the most
minute detail the second i have eaten the
first snack of the day, usually an apple, i
eat three things a day and have to excercise
for at least 2hours and get frustrated and
lash out at those closest to me when my cycle
is broken. I am 5ft 9 and weigh 59kilo i
want to be 55 but i know when i reach that i
will just want another target. Sorry to go
on but well...... |

I have read some threads in here before about
eating disorders but never felt like replying
until now. All of you lady's are so very
young and my heart goes out to you. I will
not preach to you about the damage that you
will do to your bodies or that your heart
could possibly give out especially while in
the act of purging because it will do no
good. Logic doesn't enter into the picture
when you have an eating disorder. There are
some misconceptions in the statements made.
You are never cured from an eating disorder.
You will always have an eating disorder but
you hopefully have learned tools to cope so
it doesn't trigger episodes of starving or
binging n purging. Once you have lived with
an eating disorder, and had some positive
experiences with food and managing in a day
to day basis, why would you want to go
backwards? I don't understand how going on
to a website where it is promoting death is
going to solve the issues you have with food,
issues you have with yourself and your body.
It won't, it will make you dispise yourself
and alter your image you have of yourself far
worse than the altered image you have now
when you have an eating disorder. I've had
bulemia and a few secondary eating disorders
since I was 13 years old. I am now 36 years
old. I pray every day that my girls' will
never experience what I have or struggle like
I do everyday. It's not pleasant. It takes
a toll on your body and health. Please seek
help and stop now. This is truly not the way
to lose weight or feel good about yourself.
Loving yourself will be the only thing to
start the healing process. |

It's sad to think that as women in our 30's
we are still coping n dealing with this and
young women in their 20's think that it's all
fun n games. The best part is that they have
to discover for themselves, cos anything we
say just goes in one ear and out the other.
My stomach has literally turned inside out
from purging, i've had scar tissue removed
from my esophagus, had bleeding ulcers in my
esophagus...the list goes on n on...I just
wish that self-esteem and loving one's self
was out there more rather than wat size u r.. |

Hi, I'm new to the site so first i'll explain
a little bit about me. I'm 19 and in my
second year of studying journalism at the
University of Central Lancashire.
I'm doing a journalistic portfolio on the
effects of eating disorders on a range of
different people; from anorexia to bullimia
and the causes behind it.
I was wondering if anyone one this site would
be good enough to share their experiences
with me on this subject? I would like to see
how you or anyone close to you has dealt with
eating disorders, What caused you to seek
help, and what started off the disorder.
I'd really appreciate anyone who could help
me with this. It is just for my coursework,
ane wouldn't be published anywhere. My aim is
to highlight the main issues in eating
disorders, which people may not be aware of.
If anyone is interested in helping me, then
reply to this post and I'll give you my
private Uni email address for us to discuss
it further.
Thanks |

your message moved me. i'm 31. bulimic. i
don't admit it to anyone but myself. i've
been since 14. comes and goes , but it's more
present than other things, as you said it is
not rational when it comes to eating
endlessly. and it's shame and sorrow just b4
going t the toilet, i'm sorry if i'm honest
but you are the only one i feel like talking
to right now. everyone thinks i'm healthy and
energetic, everyday i feel weaker and weaker
but there's no other thing i wanna do but
going back home after work and eat.
is not good, i'm feeling cramps and bloated
in my stomach b4 going t bed and they wake me
up early in the morning but i feel shameful
and hide it every single day. i read about
your health and felt very bad, the same night
i was doing it again. can i have some chats
with u? i need t wake up and not feel alone.
thank you v much. V |

Hi, I'm 26 and am bulimic, i read your
comments and thought I'd post a link to a
site which is very supportive and informative
and where you can get support from others
with ED. it is a recovery website and its US
in origin.. but in my worst moments i have
found just reading the posts on the forum
helpful.. they made me feel i wasn't going
insane[censored]something-fishy[censored]
I urge anyone who is struggling with an ED
not to go it alone it is so hard - go see a
gp or find a support group. I live in
Beds/Herts and know a few feel free to email
me and i will pass the details on... Don't
let this illness take over... i send best
wishes and hugs... Mags x |

myself for a week. weight constnatly up and

myself again!! i'm so fed up of feeling like
this, i just want to be "normal". i'm 23 now,

HI my daughter suffers from bulimia and i
wondered how you found the strength to get
through it. She binges all the time and goes
straight to the toilet and throws up. I
would say she weighs about 61/2 stone her
hair is very thin and she is always tired and
freezing cold.
she was attending an eating disorder centre
but has refused to go back they wanted to do
group sessions and she refused this.
I look forward to hearing from you |

You're contradicting yourself there, sure
metabolism slows but they don't then become
fat, you need to feed your body a surplus of
calories to put on fat! Even if they were to
return to eating "normal" amounts they
wouldn't become fat but just return more or
less to their original/'natural' weight.
What happens is that your metabolism slows
down, weight loss in turn becomes more
difficult and eventually the body begins
feeding on itself (Muscle tissues first,
adipose/fat tissue further down the line). |

Older folk definately have it worse off, all
I'll say in that respect is that you have to
adjust your diet for your slower metabolism
and low (positive) hormone levels unless the
option of replacing the hormones is open.
Speaking of hormones, if you reduce your fat
intake below 10% of your calorie intake it'll
have a knock-on effect on hormones and most
will find it difficult to lose bodyfat. A
balance should be met for healthy bodyweight,
which isn't as simple as it sounds... |

Hi, I am a freelance journalist and student
at the university of central lancashire. I am
making a documentary on eating disorders for
my masters degree and am looking for anyone
who would be interested in sharing their
experiences with me. Im not sure if anyone
has tried hypnotherapy, but I have been
carrying out some research and hear that it
is being used as a treatment for eating
disorders.
I appreciate that this is a very sensitive
and personal area to delve into, but truly
believe that by talking about issues and
working through them, things can get better.
I have suffered from an eating disorder
myself and it never goes away, but talking
about it really helped me.
If anyones interested in taking part in the
documentary please get in touch.
thanks x x |

Hi
I am researching possible causes of eating
disorders. Below is a link to my online
study, i would appreciate it if some of you
can find the time to complete my study.
With your help I hope to further the
knowledge in Eating Disorder research. I
feel this is an important area to address in
the mental health field and I hope that the
more we carry out research the better we can
understand this complex illness.
Goodluck to all of you fighting this tough
illness. I have provided help group websites
and contact details along with the
questionnaire.

I always had problems with my self image. I
always thought I was funny looking and always
thought I was fat. When I was 14 I tried
starving myself a couple times and failed
miserably, I tried slim fast and some other
silly diets. I always seemed to have the
tiniest friends, in highschool I was about
5'4 and 120 - 130 pounds, to me this was
unacceptable. One day at the age of 17 my two
friends and I would try and sabotage the
skinny girls, taking them out the MacDonalds
hoping to fatten them up. We felt bad and
confessed. So me and my friend at the age of
16 or 17 though we'd try eating and throwing
up. She did it once and never again. I never
stopped. I am now 28 years old and I feel out
of control. I always thought Id stop once I
had less stress in my life. I blamed it on
the bad boyfriend I kept for 12 years and my
parents financial instability. Now I have my
own home, a good job and an amazing husband.
I want to stop, but I don't. I was diagnosed
with a hernia years ago, last time I went to
the dentist I had 11 cavities and I have
reoccurring nightmares that I lose all my
teeth, I suffer from daily headaches and I
don’t sleep, I also have frequent pvc's (my
heart beat is irregular now). I work shift
work at a really stressful job so I started
taking gravol to sleep. Three weeks ago I
took 275 mg of Gravol in combination with
another sleep aid and still could not sleep.
I went to emerge and had a nervous breakdown,
I couldn’t stop sobbing. I think at that
point it had been 5 days with a few hours of
sleep. Now I am off work and seeing a
hospital psychiatrist who I lied to. I didn’t
tell him about the eating disorder. I was
afraid if I tell that I wont be able to get
life insurance or health insurance later on.
But I called yesterday and told the secretary
to tell him, I am terrified. Terrified that a
professional knows and I cant go back now. Im
scared to be fat and scared I am too far gone
to fix the damage I have already done. I feel
angry too, where I live their is no medical
facility to help. Most of the site's I go to
are for anorexic's and cant seem to find
anyone to talk to. A couple months ago is
when I finally told someone. I was drunk and
told my mom, dad and husband. We all cried
and they said they'd help and honestly they
haven’t. The take me out to fast food
restaurants all the time, they took me out
today as a matter of fact. Today I ate
breakfast cereal and my husband said he just
made some quesadilla's I so I ate those and
go sick... when he wasn’t looking I ate
maltesers, m&m's, starburst and got sick I
ate a nutra grain bar and toast, my parents
took me out to eat I had a huge burger and
fries and wings and got sick and we went to
the movies I ate popcorn and licorice and
wasnt able to get out of the theater to get
sick although it was on my mind the entire
time. I think they knew when I threw up
dinner. I dont know what to do. I am on
antidepressants since about 2 weeks ago
apo-sertraline and pms-mirtazapine. I hope
this helps. |

I am a Bulimic, and I really want to quit. My
family thinks that I have not thrown up in
over a month :/ even though I Binge and Purge
at least twice a day. ugh- I am so sick of
this disease. I read how people just realised
that it was wrong and quit cold turkey. WTF?
I don't see how this is wrong at all. I just
want to quit b/c before I was Bulimic I was
anorexic and I was really thin, but the
Bulimia has made me gain 25 pounds. Gaining
all of this weight causes bad [censored]
(depression, anxiety attacks, suicide
attempts) I just need to quit this. Anyone
want to coincide quit with me, we could give
recovery support and "positive energy" (that
is what my therapist says-lol) and [censored]
like that
???

Hi all. I am writing because I struggled
with
an eating disorder for a good 8 years. And
it
took me 10 years to completely beat it. I
now
work for b-eat (the eating disorder charity)
running a self-help group for sufferers and
carers in North-west London. It is twice a
month. Further details can be found on
www.b-eat.co.uk. It may be
useful for those of you who are seeking
extra
support. It is just £2 to attend (to cover
room hire costs) for an hour and a half.
Please pass on this information. The group
is
meant as a place where people can seek
support from each other.
Don't be too hard on yourselves. Remember
you
wouldn't speak to your friends the way you
sometimes speak to yourselves (if not out
loud, in your head!) Eating disorders can be
beaten. But it is often a tough road to
recovery, so be kind to yourselves. |

Hi, I'm a 22 year old female who is suffering
with bulimia at the moment. It's been
happening for about 3 years and i've gotten
myself to a point where I can't remember the
last day that wasn't consumed with the cycle
of binging, eating, binging, eating and
constant consideration of food, calories,
exercise, weight, my image etc etc. I hate it
that bulimia and other eating disorders make
you feel so vain. It makes me feel so shallow
when I spend so long fretting and obsessing
over the way my body looks. I would do
anything to stop feeling so fat. I hate that
it is so controlling and consuming and that
such a large part of you wants to feel like a
'normal' person and have a healthy
relationship with food and yet bulimia takes
up such a larger part, a part that wants you
to be thinner and punishes you consistently
and so savagely. Ugh, it's so tiresome. I'm
ready to really do my best to kick it so was
wondering if there was anyone out there who
feels like I do and is keen to chat with me
about it?
I'm looking to be a positive influence on
someone and them on me. I'm not interested in
any pro-eating disorder conversations. |

hey, I understand. You should talk to me
about it, I'm going through a similar thing
where food and exercise completely rule my
life. I know how hard it is. Feel free to
talk to me any time ok? Things can get
better, we just have to get some help and
keep talking about it; worst thing we can do
is keep it to ourselves. |

hi, ive struggled with my eating for 3 years
now. im now 19 and just feel i cant take
anymore and feel that talking to other people
in my situation might help, which lead me to
this chat room. ive always thought i was fat
and when i was 15 i seriously decided to do
something about it. as the weight started
dropping off the felt amazing. being smaller
allowed me to do anything i wanted to do. i
had so much confidence and feeling hungry was
a good feeling and if i didnt feel weak i was
worried i would be putting on weight. at some
point i started gaining weight and the more i
gained the more depressed i became and the
more i eat. ive made my self sick in the past
after binging which i hated. my relationship
with food is a cycle i just cant break. i
live at home with my parents and its always
put a strain on everyone. i cant get out of
meal times and i feel trapped because i hate
being inside my body. my negative body image
and low self esteem is putting a hold on my
life. it would be nice to chat to someone in
a similar situation |

Hey Cat, I completely understand what you are
going through. I am a 24 year old high
school teacher, and have suffered on and off
from bulimia for the past six years now, and
over the past year or so, it has been pretty
intense. So much so that I went from 124 lbs
to 99 lbs in the past six months. It's
getting out of control. I spend my days
perseverating on eating, what I am going to
eat, and more importantly, when and where I
can purge. If you'd like to talk with me, my
email is foxnascar24@gmail[censored]. Good
luck to you Cat! |

oh my god i have just been on a pro anna site
and i can believe what i was reading, people
encouraging others to not eat to loose 1lb
its stupid, most of the girls on the site
were so skinny they are in danger of falling
down drains as it is but the illness means
that they cant see it, its a scary world,
people you are beautiful as you are!! |

Hey
It is an insane path to go down, for many ED
sufferes this was not a lifestyle choice but
a symptom of something more serious going on
in our lives and this is how it was dealt
with. It has nothing to do with being
overweight and going on a diet. I think with
the media now it is very easy to come up with
the assumption that is it an easy way to
become skinny. Its not, it will make you sick
and there is nothing beautiful about you
looking like crap all the time, spots cause
you dont get any nutrients, dry skin, hair
falling out, teeth rotting... do you want me
to carry on ? it s not a game, it will pull
you into a hole so fast you wont know when it
got out of control.
My advice for you is go to weight watchers or
something like that. You loose slowly and
healthly and you have a good chance of
keeping it off. When you starve then you eat
normally again the weight goes on sooo
quickly your metabolism is never the same.
Good luck sweetheart, please dont get messed
up in such a dangeous situation xx |

Hey
Vitamins A , C and E, B3, B5 B6 and B12 are
good for the healthy condition of your hair.
Type in each one in your search engine and
they will tell you what foods contain these
vitamins, if not take a multivitamin which
will give you some of what you are missing.
How old are you ?
If after 5 months you are experiencing hair
loss maybe its time you thought about getting
some help. I know i am a fine one to talk but
as they say it is easier to give advice than
to take it.
Take care xx |

Hello,
Thanks for your reply. I’m only 20! I take a
multivitamin, a strong B vitamin and also
spirulina, which is also meant to be very
good! I have been to my doc as I am so fed
up with it running my life and I am starting
to look a little hideous with bones hanging
out all over the place.
They have sent me to an ED place and I am
just waiting to hear back from them to see
what the best plan of action is.
I really want to get my life back on track
but I want to start eating a little more but
I don’t want my weight and more to come back.
I do go to the gym 6 nights a week and work
my arse off.
And one little moan them silly girls saying
that they want to have an ED really
[censored]es me off!!!!

Hey
my advice for you lolly is to be careful. Gps
dont really act on 'might'. Its not till you
are really ill that they start to pay
attention i have found. If you are just at
the beguinning and fear you may have a
problem you are in a very good position do do
something about it. You seem sensable in the
way that you admit how you are feeling and
what you have. Are you in treatment for your
OCD ? if not maybe you could approach your gp
on that issue and express your
concerns about feeling fat and not eating.
Take care xx |

Hi
If you are waiting to get help thats a start
at least... good for you !!
Im wont lie to you about re feeding, its a
nightmare. You will gain faster than you
loose and it is a very scary experience, may
be you could cut out the gym a few nights or
not do so much when you go. Say if you eat i
dunno 700 cals a day and go to the gym and
burn off 500 just burn off 200 you wont gain
i wouldnt say but at least till you get into
your treatment you can cut down on the amount
you are loosing, eat fresh veggies, soups it
will make you feel full but will also do
wonders for your nutrient intake.
Is it an inpatient program you are going in
?
Take care xx |

hi, I am new to net chat and was reading a
few posts from you's about eating disorders.
I would mostly like to say I hope you are all
feeling beter about you than you were when
you were suffering at it's worst getting
rational about things is hard when your stuck
in a rut consider talking to someone even an
old highschool teacher if you can't bring
your self to talk to someone close. I've had
a few issues myself in the past. addiction,
booze . addiction drugs. self obsessive
eating habbits. I got down to eleven stone !
the inability to work while running or
'trying' to run a business. I am 2 years
clean of mind altering substances come crimbo
time my life has turned around. some of the
things I put it down to are 'never feeling
good enough' 'being bullied' my larger than
averige nose (I'm recovering from surgery at
the moment)' 'not having enough REAL worries
eg kids, poverty or long term health issues,
so I Over dramatised my minor worries and
alowing them to rule my thoughts and clowd my
judgement for problm solving' 'not having a
girlfriend.' I'm not suggesting these are
things that cause others to be obsessive .
sometimes it can help to hear a success story
though. I feel I am a little more
compassionate and empathetic than possibly
the averigh JOE for my experiences. eating is
the answer , not the solution. you will be a
beter person if you ask yourself what made
you feel like this to begin with. (this
could take years) it is worth it to be happy
with who you are. it is worth it to me more
than anything else. above all please keep
smiling . |

sounds like you are begining with issues. try
and listen to those who you care for . weigh
yourself regularly and if you loose weight ,
eat more. let someone know when you will be
weighed so you don't cheat. why on a reality
check do you feel you will be better off
thinner ? best wishes. |

i went the other way a few years back. put on
weight instead. i threw up after meals for a
few months a few years back but after i blew
a pea out of my nose it made me feel even
worse and just decided to starve myself.
i feel for you all. i lost weight the best
way in the end....exercise and healthy
eating.
good luck all of you, i hope everything works

Hi just saw your message. Sounds similar to
my problems, though i have never been
anorexic. I have been bulimic for around 20
years. Up to a year ago I was a size 10-12.
Stil thought i was fat and i was struggling
and getting really fed up with being sick all
the time. I then went and had some therapy
which seems to have worked only problem is
that i have put on weight and i am struggling
to fit into a size 14. I have now decided to
try to eat healthily and exercise rather than
eat loads, make myself sick and do loads of
exercise. I just need other people to talk
to so that i can keep on the straight and
narrow. Christmas is coming up soon which
fills me with dread.

Hey, I'm 17. I started losing weight when my
ex-boyfriend broke up with me half a year
ago. Since then, I've been purging, not
eating for days and sometimes using lax if I
have to. I guess you could call it bulimia,
but I don't know.. I've tried to stop, but
then I just gain weight again and so I start
again.
It's a horrible place to be in mentally, but
the only thing that keeps me going is seeing
the pounds drop off the scales. |

Hi, I am a 28 yr old Mum of one and I am
only just starting to realise that maybe I am
bullemic. In times of stress I eat lots and
then thrown up. Any stress triggers it, even
just my partner having to work an extra hour!
This has been going on for the last 13 years
but now I'm a Mum I feel it needs to stop but
I dont know how. |

Hiya - can anybody help me? I'm a London
based journalist who has written several
articles on eating disorders for the teenage
press. I'm now writing a book and although
it's fictional, my main character suffers
from bulimia triggered by being bullied at
school. I could, of course, stick to the
textbook of what's involved and what happens
when you live with bulimia. But I don't just
want to skirt around the issue, I want to
write in detail how it feels when a binge is
imminent, the guilt of binging and/or
purging, the triggers, is the binge usually a
lengthy process or do you prefer to eat as
much as quickly as you can?
I really need help to make sure I get this
right. No-one needs to identify themselves
and all information will be treated in the
strictest of confidence.
Please come back to me if you think you might
be able to help. Thank you. |

Hi guys it sounds like you have all been

all sound like really strong willed girls and
I think you could really help me out.I am
writting a big proposal on anorexia for an

Hi,
i have read some of these comments.
and although i dont have a eating disorder.
i have considered so many times to start
starving myself.
i am just 16 years old, and although everyone
tells me i dont need to loose weight, i hate
my body and have tried diets so many times
but it takes so long for me to actually loose
weight, and i cant wait anylonger, maybe its
best to start starving?
i really neeed to talk to someone.
my friends and family just dont understand.
help!
i cant take this anymore =[

Hi my names bekiim 16
i dont think you should start an eating
disorder i have been bulimic for nearly a
year, even though people think i have stopped
and trying to help me i just dont listen, i
have to go to the doctors regularly.
it has helped me lose over a stone, i was a
size 12/14
im now a size ten, but to me im still fat. my
boyfriend tells me im not but i just think he
says it.
it effects your relationships and friends. i
would love to stop but i cant because i fear
putting weight on.
