I know a lot of people think you can't just "become" an anorexic. So, let me put it this way. From here on out, the only thing I will be eating is fruit, and drinking water. I have been trying unsuccessfully for 4-6 weeks to lose weight. I haven't lost any. My mom seems to think I'm "not really dieting". I am. But even if I'm "not dieting", I am doing 2-3 miles a day running/power walking or some high intensity aerobics. I should be losing weight. I have no medical problems, and have lost weight before. I needed to lose weight for health reasons, and because if I don't lose weight, I'll have nothing to wear. I have no more time to do this, so I'm going to start starving myself. I don't care about the health risks. I cannot accept myself at this weight, when I have been 20lbs lighter for my whole life.

Replies xIsabellex Posted at 5:16 am on July 2, 2009 Anorexia is nothing you can CHOOSE. People who "choose" to lead an 'anorexic lifestyle" are those who make real anorexics not be taken seriously. Please don't do this, it stuffs up your whole life. merryberrycherry Posted at 2:35 pm on June 30, 2009 I would have appreciated your attempts and your feelings on weightloss if you hadn't have said "become anorexic". Once you have anorexia you aren't going to want it and it is way easier gaining the anxiety of putting weight on than it is than getting rid of those worries. Good luck with your fasting etc and let me know how it goes because I can appreciate what you are doing, just don't put it in these words ever again-because people aren't going to help you when you say these things. mbs55 Posted at 12:41 pm on June 30, 2009 Quote: from Anonymous at 3:35 pm on June 30, 2009 Quote: from mbs55 at 12:29 pm on June 30, 2009 Quote: from Anonymous at 3:25 pm on June 30, 2009 If you want to put it like that, yes.      I am not going to school busting out of my clothing, no matter what. It's not going to happen.    Okay, then how have you managed up until now? Were you always "busting out" of your clothing?    Come on; let's be real here.      I am very good friends with a girl that became anorexic for a period. She got over it, but now she constantly has to go to a doctor to monitor her heart because of it. She was EXTREMELY close to dying, but then she came to her senses. But, because of her dumb decision to try and "starve" herself, she must now live knowing that her heart has been permanently damaged.    Take whatever you want from that story, but believe me; it's not worth it. I've been busting out of my clothing for a while now, but mostly towards the end of the school year. I wore the loosest clothing I could find. But, I said to myself that I would not be doing that next year, and that I was lose weight over the summer. I don't like the idea of starving myself, but once again, I apparently have no choice. I need to lose weight, but I can't. So you're the ONLY ONE in the ENTIRE WORLD that is "busting out of your clothes?" Come on. Do you realize how irrational you're sounding? Millions and millions of people have the same problem you do, and most of them don't resort to starving themselves to fix their problem. Keep doing what you've been doing. Keep dieting, keep running a few miles a day, etc. Think about all of the people that love you. Do you think they are going to be happy to know that you're starving yourself? No; they'll be miserable. What you want to do will not only have negative short-term and long-term ramifications on yourself, but it will also destroy the lives of others. It's selfish.

You say you don't care about the health risks now, but will care about them when you're on your deathbed? I guarantee you that your weight is absolutely fine.     Starving yourself is just about (no, it IS) the dumbest thing you can do.   I'm not delusional. I am actually OVERWEIGHT. I'm not 90lbs and due to poor self image think I'm huge. I actually need to lose weight, and can't.   There are fat rolls around my stomach. My DOCTOR told me to lose weight.    So? What you're attempting to do is still dumb.    You've only been trying to lose weight for 4-6 weeks. Give it some time. Resorting to starving yourself is NOT an option. I should haven't even lost a pound yet, and, as I keep repeating, I don't have any more time. I have nothing to wear, and no money to buy new clothes. I cannot go to school busting out of my clothing. So your solution is to essentially kill yourself?

Maxxie Posted at 12:19 pm on June 30, 2009 Okay well then you're on good way to fuck up your body. You'll lose so much muscle mass that eventually your muscles will shrink. And then when you start eating again your body will just suck in every drop of that energy and put build up reserves AKA fat. So you'll be gaining more fat while losing the muscle, making it real hard to do a sustainable weight loss. ^ Is just the tip of the iceberg of health issues you'll get by starving yourself.

Heatherrox Posted at 12:19 pm on June 30, 2009 instead of just fruit, try equal portions of green vegetables....not enough calories to worry about but you can lose weight and still be healthy Leah Louise Posted at 12:18 pm on June 30, 2009 Pm me... seriously. I've been batteling against anorexia since i was 12... im now 15. and finally im getting my control back. Anorexia is horrible, you become depressed and its horrible. please just pm me Anonymous Posted at 12:18 pm on June 30, 2009 Quote: from HeadInTheClouds0230 at 12:16 pm on June 30, 2009 Becoming anorexic is just choosing to fuck up your body. Go see a doctor? When I went to a doctor a month ago, he told me I needed to lose weight, and that nothing should prevent me from doing so. mbs55 Posted at 12:17 pm on June 30, 2009 Don't.
