Help! I think I have anorexia
| Fri, 01-19-2007 - 12:26am |
I'm 19 years old and just started college last fall. I have since had huge issues with how I look and I don't know why. I know that eating disorders run in my family; my aunt, cousin, and 23 year old sister have all dealt with it. But one day I woke up and all I could think about was food and how much of it I was eating. I started to count calories and monitor how much I ate. I would be starving but not let myself eat anything more, however at the beginning of it, I would sometimes let myself binge because I was so hungry, but I have developed very high self control since then. I want to stop thinking about food and go back to being normal and not worrying about it. I have always had a fast metabolism and been skinny so I don't know why this is affecting me, but I feel like I am getting way too skinny and if I go back to eating normally I will put on weight because starving myself could have slowed my metabolism, what do I do? I am too scared to tell anyone in my family about this, I really need some good advice!
