Hi all , im really worried ,whenever ieat i always tell myself that im not gonna eat for a while , maybe like 2 weeks to a month and i always give in, but i think im getting to the point where i feel so fat after i get done eating that im either gonna end up becomeing belemic or anerexic .My friends at school say that im not fat,and when i ask them if i am , they t hink im just trying to get them to say that im not , but i really,truly think i am fat ,and i wanna puke even when i think about food,one of my friends is getting on my case now , b/c she says im losing weight ,i dont think i am ,i think im gaining ,but i know sooner or later im gonna do something thats not too good,and i just dont know what to do.

I would definitely try to find a good therapist and see what is goign on with you emotionally. If you think you are fat and gaining weight while everybody else thinks you are loosing and thin, then there is definitely something wrong. You can also check out group meetings like www.eatingdisordersanonymous.org and sites like www.somethingfishy.org for additional help. But seeing a therapist is really most important. They can help you in ways that no friend, family member, or web site can help.

I think your church would be a great place to start. They often have counseling free if you can't afford to pay for it.


I am really sorry your Mom won't let you see a therapist. Can you keep talking to your guidance counselor at school?
