Yes, I know you guys and gals will ALL frown upon me for this, but this summer during our 5 week band tour (i'm in a marching band) I went anorexic, and eventually bulimic. I was SO obsessed about being skinny like all of my other friends, and getting the guy I really liked to notice me. I still haven't figured out whether I was trying to get his attention by just being able to look better physically, or what. Unfortunately, he did notice me, but only because of my problem. However, we were already pretty good friends, and he was willing to try to help me get through it. Once again, on the bad side of things, I secretly decided to be bulimic so that nobody would notice. I was finally starting to be happy with my looks and my size (i had lost 25 lbs. by this time, in 3 weeks) and one of my instructors started to notice my extreme weight loss and attitude difference. She started forcing me to eat, and always accompanied me to the bathroom, making sure I wasn't puking. By the end of tour, I had lost a grand total of 30 lbs. My family noticed, but didn't say anything, and all of my friends noticed, and just about everyone noticed. They hadn't seen me in 5 weeks, how could you not? Anyway, long story short, I ended up in the hospital because of organ failures, and I was there for 3 weeks, missed the first day of high school, and missed out on a LOT. I gained back most of that in the hospital, but now I'm losing it again (the healthy way i might add). DON'T DO IT. PEER PRESSURE IS STUPID.
