Think I might have an eating disorder because every time i eat something 20mins later I tend to bring it back up again because I feel fat and I feel like that 95% of the time. I feel like that I need to have a body like models for people to actually think wow she's nice stuff like that. Ive even started Zumba fitness classes and been told by the trainer that I dont need to do it but she cant stop me if I continue, I dont want to eat at all not even when I feel hungry I just make myself sick so I dont have to eat anything and now I really dont know what to do?!
Baby how many times have we talked about this on fb and msn dont make yourself sick after youve eaten (i know you do that at times) eat small things during the day that will stop you being sick and believe me on this you aint fat baby trust me if your fat then i must be hideous the amount of times we have talked about this is just unreal i love you baby xxx
I think realising to yourself that you have a problem is the first step in any illness (and that is just what this is) One of your first steps is to speak with you local dr/gp or if not them a practice nurse _ she can listen to what is happening with your life. What has set the feelings of this off for you? Is there an underlying issue? We are with you and want you to get the help that you and your body needs hun hugs
Already been to the doctors and spoke to them, they just think that its all because I want to feel good about myself and I'm going the wrong way about it and they've told me to start off with small meals but Ive tried that and I still make myself sick and I don't know what else to do
You need to want to be able to make yourself better hun because if you don't then nothing you try can work. You will need energy to do it and we will be here to help you get through this hugs
It's really sad because I've seen this time and time again but that's how eating disorders work perfectly healthy girls look in a mirror and see something completely different to what others see I had two ex partners who were extremely skinny and they had eating disorders and made themselves sick every time they looked in the mirror they just seen fat which bewildered myself because there wasn't any fat on them. It took me a very long time to see that it doesn't matter what I or others see it's about how they feel. It's like me I hate the way I look I despise myself and no matter how much ex partners have told me I'm OK I can't believe them because it's how I feel. So I would say your doctors are correct in what they are saying it's going to be very difficult to treat any disorder because the majority of the time it lies with how the person feels about themselves and what they see when they look in the mirror. I would like to point out the danger to you though that I've seen time and time again. A lot of people say they just want to look nice and be skinny but when you start making yourself sick no matter how skinny you get you're never satisfied your never skinny enough, it may be easy to say you wont let it get that far now but never say never it's a slippery slope to go down. I think it's really positive your seeking help and advice about this but you need to really want to change your ways to make anything happen. It's a shame that a lot of girls are effected by what the media perceive as beautiful because it's a false beauty a lot of movie stars or people in magazines have been slimmed down so much and photoshopped. It's almost heartbreaking to see beautiful young ladies feel inadequate when there is no need for them to. I'd ask your GP to refer you to an ED specialised or maybe try and ask to see someone who does CBT or something to help change the way you look at yourself and change your eating habits. Hope that helps.
I must admit that I do look in the mirror and think I'm fat in whatever I wear and also when I cant do my fave jeans up I think straight up I'm fat then it leads to me making myself sick trying everything just to fit back in them. I have tried loosing weight in the past but not successful. Ive got to book and see my doctor again and see what else he suggests or something, I thank you for all your advice and I'll try everything I can to stop but I stop for a week or so then start up again so if I can get past the not starting it again after afew weeks I hope that I'd be fine.
I'd defiantly ask your doctor about CBT especially if you haven't done it before here is a link: Code: http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/mentalhealthinfoforall/treatments/cbt.aspx It sounds to me like you could really benefit from this I'm actually waiting for this the only downside to it is the waiting list is silly I've been on it for over six months now. However don't let this stop you asking about it as there may be less of a waiting time in your area.
Indeed a very beautiful young lady Craig. However remember it's not how you feel I have no doubt in my mind that when you look at her you see the most beautiful girl in the world but don't forget that it's almost next to impossible for her to see that. Frustrating isn't it mate I've been in the same situation telling my ex she was the most beautiful girl in the world and she just couldn't see it. Use make a lovely couple though and I'm sure you can help her with the healing process Craig.
I know i am trying my best i hope she can see it eventually i am going to always be there telling her what i see i wrote her a huge message on facebook telling her exactly how i feel and what i see when i loot at her hopefully it wont take her too long to get a place and we can actually live together
A huge message lol it was more of an essay lol took me ages to read as couldn't find my glasses to see the writing properly.
Is that you in that photo? If so, i dont think you are fat, not at all, you look sexy How fat do you think is fat? There is no absolute standard... I think it is good enough as long as you are healthy both physically and mentally. You can lose weight through exercise/sports but you shall not do it through saving diet. My sister is in diet and i am worried a lot about her health. What can be more important than a good health?
Yes it sounds like you have bulemia. The only solution is to accept yourself and learn to love yourself. It might help if you got therapy.
