I don't know if I should tell my grandparents (they're the ones taking care of us now) or not. I'll be in a lot of trouble, but I really don't know what to do.

 

A few months ago I really couldn't stand myself anymore. I couldn't stand being made fun of. I was never overweight, always average, because I'm very athletic and I ate pretty healthy. I didn't look any different, but people made fun of me, even people who were bigger than me.

 

So I stopped eating. When I did, I always.. well, I'm sure you can guess. I know I shouldn't, but I couldn't take it anymore. And I felt so much better when people told me how pretty I looked. I know it sounds shallow, but it really did make me feel so much better. I'd done all of it just to hear that.

 

I know what I'm doing is wrong, but I really don't know what to do now. I don't want to admit to my family what I've been doing, but I know it's not good for me. I just.. don't feel like I CAN stop, if that makes any sense.

 

I don't know whether I should tell them or not. I know I should, but I don't know that I CAN.

 

You're all probably going to think so much worse of me now, but I really don't know. I want to, but I just don't know if I can.

So, you're saying that you are going to get in trouble for not eating healthy anymore?

No..

I'm saying that I stopped eating period. It's called anorexia. I would get in trouble for going days without eating any food. That's why I'm afraid to tell them.

I say talk to a counselor. They can help you with any thing and i mean a school one. They can keep your talk a serect

The counselors at my school don't care. My principal read that letter I wrote, told me I was over-exaggerating on things, and sent me back to class.

Wow buttryfly you need to at least try and eat something, ugh i won't force ya and i can't make ya but your a good friend I don't think any diffrent of ya i never have i don't ever think any diffrent with anyone for that matter and i don't want to see you sick or anything, personal problems or not it's not good to do that i know cuz well i'am doing that a bit not on purpose manly of my stomach it hurts bad and if i eat most the time i just feel like puking so i hardly ever eat.

I don't think any differently of you.

And believe me while growing up I did much worse.

 

Go ahead and tell them about you're problems, From what I've seen you are a very beautiful person, It Doesn't matter what those other kids think of you.

 

Don't change because you want approval from others, change because you want to.

@VENROXAS

I know, but eventually hearing that made me feel like I had to. I thought it'd make them stop.

 

@Eterna

Thank you so much. <3

I actually teared up a bit there.

One word...

EAT.

That's REALLY not healthy Lex. If you go too long without eating, you'll die. (i'mmr.obvious)

But anyway, you don't have to tell anyone if your eating or not. Just eat.

Lexi, you need to talk to someone about this. There's no reason for you to get in trouble. You just need help. There's nothing wrong with asking for help.

I know how you feel in a way. There was a time where I didn't eat for a while. Even now I don't eat regularly.

But I'm trying to eat better.

So Lexi, just try, take little baby steps, talk to someone and slowly try to eat healthy again. Don't hurt yourself by not eating.

If you need to talk to someone, you can talk to me (:

Lexi, eating is healthy. A balanced diet does wonders. You HAVE to eat. Seriously, don't do this. Anorexia kills hundreds of girls each year just because they want to look "pretty". Honestly, a skeleton is HARDLY beautiful. I've seen your pictures, and your pretty enough already. Those girls who have anorexia don't know what they are getting into. Please, be healthy. Take care of your life. It's the only one you have. I love you like my own sister, so I don't want you to be like this.

Get your apetite back by eating little by little, you'll go back to being yourself.

If you ever need someone, I'm here.

@HellFire1730

IDK, it's just.. a lot harder than it sounds to do that.

 

@Hinako_U.

Thank you <3

Not sure who I'd talk to, though.

I am trying to improve on it, but I literally got sick because after going so long, I guess my stomach couldn't handle it.

 

@VenRoxKH

My gawd I love you too <3

I know, it just feels really hard. And I sound like a total wimp, but it really is.

Don't let others push you around. They're opinion about you doesn't matter.

 

Keep eating, anorexia can in fact kill. No not from starving to death, but from disease. You see, without food, your bodies defenses are drastically weakened. In some cases, something as simple as the common cold can become deadly. With flu season around the corner, your going to need to eat all the healthy food you can get your hands on.

 

Remember eating doesn't mean you have to eat unhealthy. I know this sounds corny but consult the food pyramid for your diet. It may sound like a lot but it really isn't. I guess I'm a bit of a hypocrite because I eat more sweets and fattining things then they say I should, but I need to gain weight as well.

 

Don't be afraid to speak with someone, if you need help then you need help. Don't be afraid of punishment, I would rather be grounded for a week then have my entire life ruined by anorexia.

D; I know I don't know you too well, but I agree with everyone. Just try to eat a little bit each day, and like Fred said, you don't have to eat unhealthy. Maybe just eat salads or other fruits and vegetables.

 

I hope you get better Lexi. ^_^ <3

Sure your parents or grandparents would yell at you, but only because they'd be concerned with what you're doing. Honestly, your parents (or whoever) would be the BEST people to talk to, because they're the only adult help you can get where they actually care about what happens to you. Trust me, in my days I've done things that are extremely regrettable, and I thought for sure my parents would kill me for them, when in actuality all they did was sit me down, have a little talk with me, and help me through it.

 

It sounds to me like you're addicted to it now, because you can't stop now, can you? If that's the case, you need to get someone involved...I don't want to read about another girl losing her life because of anorexia...

Well, generally speaking her Grandparents would have to be pretty blind for it to get to the point were she is on the verge of death.

I never said she was that far, I just don't want her to get that bad. That's what I meant.

I did watch chicken soup about this... Lexi, I know being made fun off is absolutely annoying, but they don't care if you be death because of this, why should you care about what they say.

 

About 70% of american teens claim to be overweight when they are actually normal, so most likely you're include it..

Besides, real overweight person will never be able to actually stop eating, so, say you're normal and just have to not listen to them, actually.

I know I'm not overweight. I was actually a little BELOW.

 

Thanks for the advice though, you guys. <3

just like everybody said here, you gotta eat healthy.

My sister had the same problem, and I was worried very badly. Eventualy she got better by going to the doctor and eating healthy.

Now she's a lot better.

Trust me, if you do as everybody said here, in time you'll be better!

So why haven't you eating?
