maybe u should find someone else to talk to, like a teacher or a friend or a family member. if u cant find anybody to talk 2 then try and do it urself, force urself to eat just a little bit more each day and force urself to skip one day of working out. i beat mine by myself, my mum one day said 2 me ur getting a little scrawny and that comment hurt me more than it would have if she called me fat (which she never has by the way) and i didnt want 2 be scrawny, i wanted 2 be healthy. so find urself some motivation to get back 2 normal weight.
you can’t give up on being open with therapists. i went to mine today and she is great. you have to treat them like your best friend and just be open with them cause you are going to them for healing. if you don’t feel comfortable with one inparticular than try to find another that u like better. and keep trying. sometimes it may take 8 times but as long as you find one u will heal. i dealt and am dealing with anorexia and it has helped so much
you CAN get through this.
your obviously not fat at all, you just think ya are.
i was a vegetarian for a few years so i no how hard it is to eat yummy food. i always found vegetarian pasta nice.
as long as you have a healthy diet and and exersizing you will be fine

i am struggling right now too. i used to be bulimic and just recently started restricting my calories to about 300 a day. i do not want to open up to a counselor because i have been there done that before so i can feel your pain… but i realize the more people tell me i need to eat , that i am the only one who can make the decision to get better. no one is going to tell me i am not going to get better and i wont let a statistic either. But in the end it is your choice…whether you want to get help and live….when you really want help you will open up to the counselor. You have to, we both have to….. if not….we WILL become one of the statistics…..WE CAN DO THIS!!!! don’t judge or blame yourself for set backs..we all make mistakes…celebrate the small victories….like today i had a peice of pizza…even though mentally i feel aweful about it because i know it had more calories then my “sick” mind would have wanted me to eat, it is progress for recovery.
you have to heal whatever demons you have eat to live decide whether you yourself are going to make that effort and try to control this sickness counselors can only help you not make you do what you are supposed to do. I quit smoking after 28 years and I loved my habit but I smelled coughed alot and was sick alot so instead of choosing death I chose life and now I am able to breathe eat no longer cough smell and I dont get sick anymore you have to say I want to change
