This might sound stupid , but I don't know if I have an eating disorder ?
Well the past few months I have been trying to only eat just my dinner and that is mostly it but even then I sometimes make myself sick . Not all the time but just some times . Do you think I do ?

It sounds like you may have bulimia. Of course, I'm no doctor and if you're concerned then please speak with one right away!

Yeah but I don't want to go to a doctor. I can't , then my family would find out and I don't want them to .

Until you except you need help, you can't be helped...

Well I amn't really saying that . Well I kind of am . I'm so confused :S I don't know if I need help ! And I don't want to go to a doctor , I am quite a shy person

Ok awkward question..
Your weight?age?height?

The reason Im asking this is because it might be easier to determine whether you have one or not...

She has a problem with anorexia and bulemia. She limits her food intake and throws up what she does eat. Size and weight have nothing to do with it.

Sorry.Im not an expert on the situation,just trying to get a feel of what's actually going on..

Natalie, you may be a little shy and awkward but what would you rather do ; go to a doctor or die? I don't mean to be so blunt but an eating disorder can be fatal. They start small but become worse and worse, until your health and even your life are in jeopardy. Do you know who Karen Carpenter is? She was one of the most famous pop singers from the 1970s with a very promising career. She died from an eating disorder in her early 30s. She was, by nature, a little heavy. Unfortunately, like lots of young women in the entertainment industry, she felt pressured to control her weight and resorted to extreme means which lead to an eating disorder and ultimately cost her her life. You probably know who Judy Garland was, right? Similar situation ; slightly overweight, she was hounded by her producers to lose pounds. She resorted to attempts at self-medication which lead to severe substance abuse and her death at the ripe old age of 46! A very tragic end for one of Hollywood's most talented icons of her era. This is how it all begins ; pressure to control one's weight and live up to a Barbie-doll image, which in turns leads to eating disorders and substance abuse and I've already told you the rest. Please seek medical attention now!

Well thanks for your help . :D

Hello hon, I know you already got wonderful answers :) but I thougth I would add my thoughts too.

Talk to your doctor. Or your counselor. Or SOMEONE about it.

It seems like, even though you may not have one YET, you are Definitely on a slippery road to disaster.


Eat all three of your meals hon.


And just to let you know, skipping meals, and only eating one meal, will make you GAIN weight... your body will go into survival mode and STORE everythign it can.

The only way starving gets weight loss results, is if it goes on for so so so long that the body eventually begins to eat its self away... nto a very pretty picture...

Its okay I like getting everyone's opinion :)
So I amnt going to lose weight ?

She dose not get it!

I do understand . But I don't think I have an actual eating disorder , I think I am just trying to lose some weight .

What you are doing is very dangerous. If you want to lose weight a healthy way (I don't think you need to lose any according to your previous posts) contact your pediatrician.

Hmmm . Maybe :)

There is no maybe about it. Either you take care of this issue that you obviously KNOW and ADMIT you have, or you Don't. The choice is yours. I'm sure that knowing you ignored our suggestions will be a great comfort to you when you are dying in the hosptial of anorexia or bulimea.

Good luck. I'm not posting here anymore...

... thanks I guess :/

I believe you are both bulimic as well as anorexic. The limit in food intake (trying not to eat anything except for dinner, suggests anorexia and the purging after dinner is a sign of bulimia. Shy or not, you need to seek medical attention. Eating disorders should be taken seriously! The long term affects are reason enough to seek help.. Trust me!
Good Luck!

I think your being a curious teen. Although many have already warned you of the dangers I do want to tell you to stop.

If your looking to lose weight your really going the wrong way about it. First of all breakfast is the most important meal of the day since it jump starts your metabolism. Second, it really doesn't make sense to have a big meal in the evening before you bed, not to mention your body was starving all day so your body is going to save whatever it can get which means you'll just gain weight.

This is absolutely the wrong way to go about it and it may end up costing your life.

I hope you stopped playing this dangerous game, and eat healthier and exercise.
