Sabella,
Hi, I don't know you and I've only had time to scan through a few pages of this thread but I really do think it's in your best interests you should seek some professional help. For the sake of your physical and mental health, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE you should find someone to talk to who knows how to deal with eating disorders- which you have I think. Maybe you can start by talking to a parent, mentor, the school counsellor or your doctor even and get them to direct you to a health professional who has experience treating this or join a support group for others with the same problem. It can stay private if you want it to be, but the most important thing is you Seek Help ASAP from a Professional. Eating disorders can be a very slippery slope and you may not think your condition is not serious, but you may not be the best judge of that. It's no good telling yourself to be "careful" because you really can't judge and most people can't control themselves!
We all need a helping hand sometimes and to actively look for help when we need it is the bravest and wisest thing to do.
Please Find Help NOW- it'll be the best decision you've made!
And to everyone, I want to say this. No one should feel bad about eating food. If you do, that is a symptom of a possible eating disorder. That is not the right attitude in any case. Food is something to savour and enjoy, in moderation. If we all eat a healthy and balanced diet combined with regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle, our weight should be fine. Exercise (also in moderation) should be the way to lose weight if necessary, not by denying yourself regular meals! If you think you are medically obese- and that is a serious problem too, then see a doctor or a nutritionist- otherwise please don't engage in foolish and harmful weight loss behaviour!
Real self-esteem and beauty comes from the inside, and this really is true. Anyone who doesn't appreciate that is just wrong and there's no need to seek approval from those people. If you feel good and confident about yourself, you don't need to lose weight to feel good and losing weight will never make you feel good if you're not confident about yourself. And we are all capable of feeling good about ourselves regardless of our outward appearance. It's all in the mind and the attitude. The important thing is to stay healthy!! If you don't have your health, you can't do anything.
Reading this thread made me sad.
This thread should not be about how to lose weight- but rather how to stop obsessing about your weight in the first place!! No one should be congratulated on losing weight- losing weight isn't always a good thing! Especially when you lose it by not eating. Many of you guys seem to be teenagers- you're in an important stage of your physical development and you need all the nutrients you can get- don't starve yourselves please!
There is absolutely no need to be obsessed with how much you weigh, how much you eat, how you look- they are not necessary for a healthy and happy life. Good health, however, is necessary for a healthy life. Don't throw that away so carelessly.
Stay healthy everyone.
