I was not feeling very well this morning and new that I needed to eat something so i tried water melon and that didn't help so i tried a slice of toast and I was going to leave it at that. about 20 min later my dad wants to go get subway and i got a 6in veggie delight and then got a starbucks coffee frappuccino.. my body is regecting this and I'll just say its not coming back out of my mouth.. sorry that was too much information.. but does this happen to any one else? I feel like it has been happening to me a lot even if i just eat a ton of fruit or veggies my body acts as a natural laxative within about 30 mins and it will be sometimes 2-3 times after I have recently eaten. it typically doesn't happen if I stay under 200 calories and thats only fruit or veggies but anything else, my body does not agree with. I wonder if my body is absorbing all the calories if its coming out so fast.. hmmmm

when you have only been eating less than 200 calories worth of fruit every 24 hours for 4 days. Its like your going to fall over and your shaking so much all you can do is get in the shower and stand there and hope for it to calm down. when your heart is racing and you can't find the strength to stand up right or to even get dressed. My head is just a dull pulsing ache and my muscles feel like they have been hit by a train. How can I help this go away or make it so its not so extreme and noticable? I am about to go see my dad and haven't seen him in a month. I don't want him to see me like this.

I eat under 500 calories everyday except sunday i eat 1,500 bc i need the energy to get through another week of dance classes and Excercising. Is this the reason why im not losing weight? please help

I've been binging a lot lately. Usually i binge once in 2 months, but now its a lot more. i wish i never went through "recovory". can someone give me some help! plz! im getting really despret here X(

here on Pretty Thin I've found alot of girls saying thier FAT, thier screen names are something along the lines of "fatty, big. blub" and they rant about how they are so "Fat".

Well, Did you know the universe listens to you, the negativity you put out comes to you. It hears your fat so its going to make ou fat not help you lose weight what so ever.

ALL POSITIVE:

TELL THE UNIVERSE YOUR SKIINNY

TELL THE UNIVERS YOU LOSING WEIGHT

YOU WILL!

when i was negative i didnt lose anything, but when i was positive and loved how i was dropping weight saying i was skinny everyday taking pics of myself on facebook i lost weight! ALOT got in the 70's. But then When i recovered and was 130 I started saying things like I'm fat, fatty, blubber, and I didnt lose weight.. I stayed and even gained. So i stopped saying those after watching "The secret" and started saying i was skinny. Right now im 105 and imma keep on trucking being POSITIVE IT WORKS..Negativity just bites you in the ass.

so, am i the onlyy one who...obsesses and i mean OBSESSES over food, calories, weight, and losing it and everything else that we think about. Am i the only one who has bursts of "okay, it's time to just do it. just get skinny and be strong" but thennn...... fails at it days later?! i was on Tumblr and i saw the quote: 

"MIND OF AN ANOREXIC, BODY OF A FAILURE"

i saw it, read it. read it again. thought about what it meant to me. and began to fucking cry. because it's true. fucking true. i obsess over it, all the time! but i can't be strong enough to actually but the pizza or ice cream down and say "no" because i KNOWWW that i want thin, but i need to have willpower in order to have thin. you know? please, please don't tell me that i'm alone with this type of a struggle... does anyone else go through this or am i just honestly a failure?:|

I've fasted for like four days now and I checked today, and somehow it looks like I've GAINED a pound!!!! I worked my butt off this morning too. Why is this happening! I barely even have been drinking water. I don't sleep much, where is this coming from?! My whole day is down the tubes now, I feel so miserable about it. I was hoping to lose five pounds this week, (THATS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK!!!!) and I feel like I'm just going to gain 5000!

Also, does anyone have any information about stretch marks? Will they go away as I lose weight? is there something I can do to make them go faster?

FML FML FML BROKE MY MONTH FAST! I was doing so good. down like 15 pounds and FUCK today. I ate over 2000 calories and kept it all down. FUKER. I AM GOING TO BE UP 8 POUNDS TOMORROW. KILL ME. SOMEONE SHOOT ME. although no coffin could hold me

8 POUNDS I am going to gain, someone please !! i can even purge my body just doesnt do it. I took 4 lax's That will flush me but still. It will take another week fast to get those 8 off. I am fat and hopeless forever.

Okay long story short here..

I do not eat. Aything, maybe some grapes and a chunk of cauliflour a day.. and I drink water and work out like crazy. I lose 0.2-0.8 a day. Then The other day I was C&S ham. Someone walked in and I accidently swollowed the ham. I worked out and drank like i normally do and I lost 1.4 pounds MORE then usual.. Then the same thing yesterday. I accidently swollowed some hamb. soup and crackers. I LOST ANOTHER 1.6 POUNDS! Not complaing, Just wanna know why!!

I am still a LARGE weight 145.0 and 5'9 tALL

I began with the words, Im new here and  im not sure if I have an eating disorder. I have one friend who thinks I do. First let me say that I weigh a healthy weight by doctor standards, but I dont eat well by doctor standads.  Its mostly a liquid diet for me, I feel that eating is a waste of time, and  my friend has suggested that I use it I think to control life, and that  I have always lived this way.  I dont like to eat in front of others when I have to, and when I have to I usally snack, on little things, I own 2 scales, and when I pass by them in the store I have to stop and look, and if the number doesnt read what I want it to Im just not happy. Not really sure what to do, my frined says this behavior is wrong but I dont really see it was wrong inso many words. She has got me thinking that maybe something is amiss.   Any thoughts:|  Thank you

I need someone to text. Someone who can help me through this fasting week. I need someone to be strong for me when I'm weak and visa versa. Be strong ladies!! <3

I told my boyfriend about my ED this weekend. NOT something I'd planned on doing, but just couldn't explain my crying because I felt I'd eaten too much anymore. Surprisingly, he wasn't mad. He was just...wonderful...Supportive and caring and worried about me. So why do I feel like it's gonna cost me, in the end? Seeing him again in two weeks, hoping to have lost 5 lbs by then. But if he notices, will he be mad that I didn't get better? Will he understand?

have yu ever got up in the morning and when you get dressed for school name all the things bad about yourslef, like my thighs are like hams and my stomach i feel like its already dimpling with fat rolls, etc. putting myself down seems to be kind of a motivation to be pretty...

Please, enlighten me.

what is the abc diet?

Hi,

I havent been on this website in a long time but when i finally came back on, i started to think.

I was fine for along time but now things are going bad and wrong alot more, I'm starting to stray but I'm self harming aswell

Just a question to who ever answers it,

whats worse?

Self harming or restricting and purging?

As i know i can only do one at a time

(i know that sounds wierd but im a wierd person)

Please tell me if i should change anything or add anything or whether i should give it to her at all... i really need feedback im shitting myself

Dear mum,

I’m too embarrassed to say this to your face and even if I wasn’t I wouldn’t know what to say. I know it’s juvenile to be writing you a letter like this but this way I can have time to think and say everything I want to. I know we’ll have to talk about it at some stage but for now I just want to get it out there. Don’t worry I’m not pregnant, I didn’t get a tattoo, and I haven’t gone out and bought a kitten.

Do you remember that time I came into the theatre room crying because I’d eaten so much. You said we should consider counselling. I told you everything that I ate and how I was so angry at myself for ruining my stretch of “healthy” eating. I don’t know if you realised but I wasn’t really eating healthy. I only ate two pieces of fruit a day and what you gave me for dinner. I would always shower after dinner because I could purge without anyone hearing me.

I know April has a bit of an idea. I read her diary about a year ago; she thought I was anorexic. A few months later I came home from a party crying, she heard and came into my room. I admitted to reading her diary and we talked about it for a bit. I was crying a few months ago about the same thing and she came and cried with me, but we didn’t say anything.

I hate Mondays because I spend them alone so there’s no one I need to hide it from, it’s the day I devote to binging and purging. I binge and purge at least 3 times a week but sometimes a few times a day. It’s been that way for almost 3 years. I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you, it’s just so embarrassing. I keep trying to stop but every time I stuff up it gets worse.

I know I look healthy, and I know I’ve but on weight since we last talked about counselling, but since then things have got worse. I’ve started purging in public toilets and at other people’s houses. I want to be healthy but I’m destroying my body. I feel like I’m going to (unintentionally) throw up after every meal and I sometimes get stabbing pains in my heart when I vomit. I lost my period for about 8 months back when I was thin. I know all the side effects- I’ve read about it and it scares me. I don’t know if a have bulimia, I haven’t been to the doctors about it, but when I research it it sounds like I do.

I know that what I’m doing doesn’t make you lose weight; it can even make you gain weight. I don’t need a lecture on how it’s stupid. It isn’t a phase; it isn’t something I can just get over. I don’t need to be told that I’m perfect the way I am because it’s not just about my weight. I don’t want you to always be thinking about me and I don’t want you to be constantly looking out for me. I don’t want you to look at me differently; I don’t want to be a pain. I want things to stay the same but whenever I search for recovery tips the first step is always, ‘tell someone.’ so i did.

Love Charlotte

I'm not loud about me worrying about my weight, I don't do it for attention or try and make a scene. But I feel as if my little sister (whos 12) is starting to pick up on my little habits, and it's worrying me. A few weeks ago she started asking if she could come running with me, and so I allowed her too. But now instead of ME choosing to run, SHE is initiating it. And today she told me she was trying to cut down on sweets, because she "was too fat". I then encouraged her to think more highly of herself because she is thin and already beautiful (she is.)

But she's only 12. And I worry that if my habits become worse, so will hers. I do not want to see her deal with something like this. Is there anything I can do to prevent that from happening to her? I'm so very worried.
