Please, please, please do not starve yourself. Anorexia is awful, as is any eating disorder - not just for you, but for your family, and your friends. I know you do not want to hear this, but please hear me out. My best friend had an eating disorder, and it very nearly could have killed her. Luckily she's managed to recover from it, and now I'm (slightly) skinnier than she is, but to me she is absolutely gorgeous the way she looks now, not to mention she is just absolutley beautiful. She's been there, felt the pain and realised her mistake, luckily before it was too late, but not before damage was done. Posts such as yours are very, very hurtful to the likes of her, and to me as I know what hell it was for her to try and claw her way back to being healthy.

Please, start eating and seek help and support, and DO NOT go down the anorexia road - you will not only hurt your family, your friends, but you risk at the very least irrepairable damage to your body, and can potentially kill yourself. Believe me, there is nothing more unnactractive than being able to see a girl's bones through her skin. There are better, more effective and safer ways of loosing weight - starving yourself is the absoulte worst you can do.

danbob is right in every aspect, not eating could actually make you fatter over time...

Hi,

I don't think you understand that bulimia and anorexia are both psychological conditions. You don't MAKE yourself either of those things--they are diseases of the mind. They aren't substitutes for healthy diet and exercise, which WILL help you lose weight.

Instead, it will slow down your metabolism, making it harder to lose weight. Eventually, anorexia and bulimia will demineralize teeth. Your teeth may become sensitive to heat, cold, and acids. Eventually, your teeth may severely decay, erode away from fillings, and finally fall out. Sexy, huh?

Your blood potassium levels can drop significantly with regular vomiting or use of certain diuretics. This can disturb your heart's rhythm and even produce sudden death.

Salivary glands may swell because of infection and irritation from the vomit. You may at some point suffer from stomach ulcers and bleeding and tears in your esophagus. Constipation may result from frequent laxative use.

When bulimic episodes occur over time, a sequence of chronic illnesses can occur affecting your heart, liver, gastrointestinal tract, and/or neurologic complications.

The way to lose weight is through healthy diet and exercise. Eat 4-6 SMALL meals a day, consisting of lean meats, whole-grain starches, fruits and vegetables. Set up your plate so 1/4 is meat, 1/4 is starch, 1/2 is fruit and veggies, and there is minimal fat.

If you do this as well as drink 8 glasses of water a day and exercise for 30 min a day a few times a week, you will see healthy results.

Good luck.
