Reply from Cree, Age 16 - 8/9/01 - IP#: 209.206.177.103Hi, ummm I have some friends that are trying to be anorexic, and I know its not healthy.I was anorexic, and bulimic a couple months ago,and it got bad. I wouldn't eat, if I did I would throw it up, I was always getting sick, I would throw up at school just because I felt that I needed to. Then I went to my doctor and talked about it, I mean that is after my mom found out what was happening, because of one of my friends was worrying about me and she told my mom that i needed help. I thought that i was bad, not i know how much worse it can get. Now i am back to being big again, and ive tryed everything to loose it again, but i will never go back to the way it was. Reading your story made me think, and i was wondering if you would reply to my sister, and my best friend and tell them what they are doing is wrong. It would be a big help to me, and to them if they would only listen. They both have lost a lot of weight. My best friend crystal, she is 16, and she weighs 162, and shes 5'9 1/2". And my twin sister is Samantha, and she is also 16. she is 5'6", and she weighs about 153, and just the way they are doing it is bad, and i know they know they have a problem but they won't admit it. With my sister lying to our oarents and telling them that she eats all the time when she is at a friends house, she is really just sitting around and exersizing. I have a question for you... If you are doing what they are, and not eating, and then wanting to throw it up if they do and then doing exersises isn't that bad? i mean can't they really hurt themselves bye not having any food in them, and then exersizing? doesn't it hurt your boned, and stuff? well thanx for the styory it has helped a lot, please... do me a favor and tell them, they need to know what they are getting into, Thanx a lot. |
