I just read a message saying 'will not eating at all help?' and I just wanna say to everyone no matter how desperate you are please DON'T do this, I went through a phase of bullimia and it didn't help cuz it just made me feel tired guilty and depressed. What finally made me see sense was 2 years ago when a started a new school there was this girl Ally who i has been friends with when i was little. Shes suffered from anorexia since she was nine years old, and during my first term there she got to the point where she was hospitalized, she has been back and forth to hospitals since then, the docters say she probably wont live to see her 18th birthday - she doesn't care, she told us she would rather die than be fat. At the moment 6-7 year olds clothes hang off her.Please remember this, her life has been waisted, she hasn't been to to school in 2 years, her lifes spent in hospitals or exercising endlessly. I have not seen her smile in so long.... so please no one put yourselfs through that.
