You need to tell your mother if you want help… end of story.
I know how you feel.. I’m there now. But i don’t want help, I’m 25 and my mother knows.
My mother knew when I was younger and put me in treatment. it helped a lot. I was able to like my body and not think i was fat for about 3 years.
Something switched in my head and I went right back to it…
except I don’t think I’m fat, I just fear gaining weight.
If you want help you have to seriously want help and you have to tell your mother….once you tell your mother you will be forced to get better (if your mother is a good mom).
hi, I used to bulimic myself too and it took me a lot of strength and support from my family and friends to be able to cope with my disorder. I can tell you myself that it’s very hard to battle such a disorder alone, and even if it may be hard, you have to tell your mom. If you think that you’re not ready to tell her, start with a close friend first so that you’d have more support in gathering courage to tell your mother. Cutting problems and eating disorders require professional help, they are difficult to deal with alone and are very dangerous to your own life. I hope that you’d have the courage to fight this order, so many people have battled and won over Bulimia and cutting, you can too.
Darling, I know that you feel discusting, and whatnot.
But the truth is, others probably don’t see it!
I believe that personalities carry through looks, strongly.
And if you have a good one, which I’m sure you probably
do, let it shine.
Please don’t hurt yourself, do you really want to disinigrate yourself down to nothing? I mean this literally and figurativly. Do you want your disorder to harm your personality?
How tall are you anyways?
And the thing is, you “feel” overweight and un attractive. This, my dear, is no indicator that you actually are!
Check your BMI.
Mine is a 21, and at times I feel ugly as well.
Actually to be quite honest a lot of the times.
Just think, though.
Of course there will be people that think you neeed to be
5′7 and 110 pounds.
But really?
Even if you have the looks of a super model, and your personality is crap, who wants that?
I know for a fact I’d rather be with an average looking guy with a great personality than a total **** with the intelligence of a cardboard box and a lacking ability to intrest me.
And lots of guys are like that too, with girls.
But hey, we aren’t talking about the whole guy girl spectrum, we are talking about you.
Because to truly be loved, I think you have to love yourself, in one way or another.
So do it for the ones who love you.
Call the kids help phone, if you can.
And actually, it’s doctor patient knowing only, so if you went into emerg just to get checked out they wouldn’t have to phone your parents, legally they can’t tell them what you restrict them to tell.
My recommendation would be hiking or backpacking. If you have a way to get out with a group or a friend and spend a weekend doing so, It would keep you busy, get you hungry in the right way, and bring mental cleansing. I think you would be positively effected by doing so.
well maybe your mom should know but go with some information because most people don’t get the disease ..they think you can just stop when in reality you can’t! Print off some information and have her do a little research!! Tell her it’s for a school project and you want her help so she can fully get into and then explain your situation ..i know she wants to be there for you!! I have dealt with this illness to and the only way to beat it is to get help and SUPPORT from loved one. Maybe your mom can just buy healthy stuff so you can change your whole lifestyle together as a family ..if you are eating healthy you won’t feel guilty and you are allowed treats in moderation so don’t deprive yourself and then binge!! you can do it just figure whats important to you because life should be one of them and if you continue to be sick then you won’t have a healthy long life!! it tears you apart!!
Tell your mom. What you really need is support to help get yourself back on the right track. You’re doing your body perminant damage right now by being underweight. Purging yourself of all food will kill you.
all of these people above have given you amazing answers sweetie.
and there is nothing more i can say… just love who you are.
I am also 16 and a healthy weight for the first time in 3 years.
i have been in and out of hospital a few times and it has stuffed up my education and my family life and its just getting back into the norm..
what i am trying to say is you need to tell your mum because she will help you. it will **** at the time but it will be the best in the long run..
please take careeee you have so much ahead of you and this ED wont get you anywhere i can promise you that
Hi there.. I have been a binge eating eater for more than 2 years I guess.. Never got better but worst.. Wish to slim down yet getting fatter around the tummy due to my binging.. The more I want to control the more I eat.. Went for a few session with those professional.. But to me what they says seems to be nothing.. Example.. If you eat normally during the day, you will not binge at night.. Which is not true~! *sigh* I don’t dare to tell anyone except 2 friends.. Although she is a good friend of mine, she doesn’t really helps.. She only will encourage me occassionally by talking.. The other DO bring me out till late mid-night to stop me from binging.. But when I reach home around 2am.. I still eat.. My mom knows I am binging at night.. But don’t know I am avoiding food during the day.. She sees my tummy growing bigger but did nothing.. As she says that she is sick and tire of telling me not to eat anymore during the night.. But she just can’t understand.. By just saying doesn’t really helps.. she thinks is easy.. Just control.. The problem is CONTRol! The problem with us is the thinking and control.. How I wish I can end this illness.. Because is causing me a lot of unhappiness in my family.. And I avoid going out with friends so as to avoid eating outside during the day.. I miss a lot of fun…… *sigh* god bless……
