My god its crazy reading some of the forums on this site. Im 18 now but I began obsessing about weight around 13-14, which eventually lead to an ED...which is pretty common. Im dont have an ED anymore, but i realize how much time i spent thinking i was fat at age 14....come on ! 14...at 14 a lot of girls are a little puggy. Hell, I was! i thought i was really fat, but looking back on pictures i looked completely normal. All the time i spent worrying about weight i couldve actually lived my life! If there are any teens on here, especially young, unless you are overweight clinically, and i mean extremely to the point of there being a medical problem, then there is no reason to be looking up how to lose weight. It will come with time. The body changes so much between 13 and 18...even into the 20's! Its hard, but you have to be patient. Hopefully, you wont go through an eating disorder. and for anyone who is, its hard but you have to tell someone and get help. Trust me, i know how hard it is for parents to find out, but its way better to tell them first. ED's are hard to hide, and they completely ruin your life for a bit until you get help. I dont know of anyone who has had an ED and recovered on their own. Good luck to everyone :) |

I think it really depends on if you are an unhealthy weight. If you are overweight, then it's great to lose a couple of pounds and feel good about it and gain confidence ... but otherwise its a bit pointless, especially if you are a healthy normal weight because the weight's going to come back eventually. :/ unless you keep it off using unhealthy ways Also it depends on your definition of skinny. To most girls, especially teenagers, being skinny means being like a victoria secret super model...which i dont know if any one else agrees, but i think most of them look grossly skinny and sick. Why want to be that skinny? ^^" you dont get to eat anything |

Unfortunately, from what all my councelors have told me, when you have an ED (yes I've had one), it never really goes away. You can recover, but never be completely cured( kind of hard to explain). Of course, I was thinking, nah, I'll eventually get completely better, but I realize thats not true. I have good days and bad days, and it gets better the longer you go with being a healthy weight. It took a while to be able to get off the weight loss forums (I'm just on here out of boredom looking for something completely different ^^"). Eventually the need to obsess over weight goes away. The fact is, if you are a healthy weight, and you are still obsessing about weight, you still have the remnants of an ED...hell the other day I thought I was the fattest person in the world, but that comes maybe once in a month. You should not be on weightloss forums, but on ED forums. |
