SUBJECT: EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT BEING SKINNY
First of all, let me say that I am not trying to preach to anyone, just want to tell my story. I am 5'5" and weigh 100 pounds. It's hard to actually admit this, but I am anorexic, bulimic and a compulsive overeater at times. 1 year ago I weighed 25 lbs. more and started dieting. As I started to lose the weight, I slowly stopped eating. At first, I could go up to 5 days on only diet coke. Then binge by eating so much food that my stomach stretched out so it looked like I was pregnant. Right now as I sit here and type this, my stomach is so bloated I cannot see my feet. I want to stop so bad, especially since I am slowly gaining weight from the binging and fasting but I can't. In fact I came on here to get tips on how to lose more weight. It is a terrible cycle and disease that I wish I never got involved with. I was much happier as a 125 pound girl. I haven't had a period in over a year, and sometimes my legs cramp up so badly I can't walk. WHen I binge, my face swells up and I hide out from the world for days while I fast and wait for the bloating to go away. If you think you are overweight, I beg you not to fall into the trap of eating disorders..it's not worth it. If anyone reads this, please reply. I could really use a friend right now.
