Hey Jess- you sure do need to put on weight your too skinny! forget your dad making those sounds he probably doesn't realize that it makes it hard for you. my dad does stuff like that sometimes not because he wants to be mean, but becuase he's just a funny guy and for a normal girl it wouldn't bother them. remember if someone doesn't stay on top of you, like your parents, then you need to do it yourself. don't let it bother! just remember you need to eat and if you don't you'll die. hope this helps and isn't too .. tough ... but you wanted tough love.

positivelinny you're right. I shouldn't look at these girls and wish that i looked like them, because the truth is that even if I did I still wouldn't be happy with my body. I haven't admitted it to my parents yet, but I do want to get better. I'm tired of this ED taking over me making me sad all the time, scaring the heck out of me over food, and wanting somthing that is just plan stupid. *I said it!* My ED is so stupid! STupid!! makes me feel better to say that! I'm stronger then those girls, I won't let myself give in!! Thanks so much! I feel better about myself!

Same to you muttlover thanks for your help and the link!! I checked it out and you are right! Those women are beautiful and yet they aren't deathly skinny! Thank you for your encouragment!

Wow! I feel so much better! I'm going to get better! I'm going to be so happy someday because I'm going to be free!!! ONe day girls we will be free of our EDs cause WE ARE STRONGER!!

oh no! i did it and i know i should not have. i was looking up something about anorexia then some how i ended up going from one link to the other and ended up on Youtube with tons of videos and pictures of extreme anorexic people. i knew i shouldn't watch any of them because it is very triggering for me when i see skinny people, but i still watched a few and now. i feel so sad. I feel hopeless yet also longing to be like those girls i just saw! why? i have no idea. :*(

We all need to find some way to keep us all from binging. I think the next time i feel like binging i'm going to come on this site and read all these post on binging to change my mind. maybe it will work or maybe i'll find a picture of someone obese so then i can look at it and say to myself, "don't binge unless you want to look like that."

 Do you have certain foods that cause you to binge? LIke for me i usually binge on ice cream. I just can't stop eating ice cream until it's gone. or maybe you should have six small meals a day instead of three larger meals. i hope this helps. and i know it is good to get your feelings out. just keep writing. :)

Hey torpidire i've been feeling the same way you have lately too and so i know how hard it is to not trust yourself when you feel and think you look fatter. one thing i try to do on those days of feelings so fat and depressed is i keep myself very busy and if that doesn't help i talk to someone about it. usually my mom and after i talk and get all my feelings out i feel a bit better.

my parents, thankfully, are very supportive but sometimes they stick to me like glue and watch everything i eat. for breakfast my mom always asks what i've had and she always wants me to show her my dad is the same way but he is a bit less watchful. my mom is always thinking that if she doesn't see me eat then i don't eat or i cheat, which is really annoying. but as for support they are great! i can go to my mom and talk to her, of course she doesn't understand, but she comforts. also my parents try to encourage me to eat things that are more fattening like icecream or sweets. they want me to be normal again. my mom has cried before saying how she can't sleep at night because she worries so much about me and all she wants is her old daughter back, the one who never counted calories, didn't worry about her weight, and had more energy.

thank you guys all so so much for your help and information on inpatient!!! You guys have calmed my fears and I just want to thank you all so much for that. I think it has been decided that if i lose anymore weight or don't gain weight by december i'll have to go inpatient at laureate for a month or two. currently from when i last got weighed by my dietitian i was about 73lbs. but i'm only 5'1 so it is not that bad. my parents are going to this family week thing that they have at laureate and hopfully they can learn more about this sickness so they can help me and encourage me. thanks again guys you're my support!! :)

maybe bump up your calories to 1700 try that for a week and then weigh again to see were your at and if you lose add more to your meal if you maintain add a little more and if you gain then good for you! :)

Hi precious peterpan3,

 I also am struggling with anorexia and have twice tried to commit suicide, i am also a christain and that is what has kept me from carring it out. I am so glad that you realized that your sisters need you. I am going to think of you and pray for you. God loves you! *hug* You're so special and God will use you and all that has happened to you for a reason. Take care! God bless you!

What do you do on Saturday nights? Usually my family will spend time together on this night, but tonight we can't so i'll probably just watch tv and relax.

lena123 don't apolagize for writing so much you were so so helpful!! thanks for spending the time to write all that out for me! After reading your post i feel so much less scared about maybe having to go inpatient. yesterday at my appointment they said that if they dont starting gaining weight really soon then my parents might put me inpatient for a month.

I'll let you know what happens. I'm about to leave in less then twenty minutes with my parents to the appointment. I sure hope everything is okay. I'm in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They have a great clinic here called Laureate that deals with many different things, but one of their main things that they deal with is EDs.

Thanks hope3333. I think if i have to go inpatient then it will be at a residential place. I'm going to see someone today with my parents and I have absolutely no idea what he's going to say or even do. I had my blood drawn for tests last week to see if i've hurt anything and we'll find out today if i have or haven't. I'm so scared that if i have then i'll have to go inpatient. Thanks again for your help! Makes me feel a bit better.

My worst would be when I was in recovery from anorexia and i had gained a lot of weight. I was very self concious of what i looked like and would never wear shorts or t-shirts, but one night i really wanted to be like a normal kid again so i put on a pair of shorts and as soon as i walked out of the room one of my aunts said i looked really good. I was so happy but then my grandad who was sitting over in his chair said, "I think she looks fat." I went straight back into the room changed into pants again and cried so hard.
