Anorexia & Bulimia

When I was 15, I was 5'3". I was always telling myself how fat I was and how much I needed to lose weight at 120 pounds. My doctor said I was the perfect size for my age. I didn't listen, and over the summer I went anorexic for two months. I would eat every other day, but just a bite of something. I ended up getting down to 99 pounds. My mom found out and tried to get me to eat, but every time I did I ended up throwing it back up. It was like that for about two months. I ended up in the hospital, and when they weighed me I weighed 104 pounds. My mom was really upset about it, but she stood by my side the whole time. Now I'm perfectly healthy again. I weigh 118 pounds, and I'm happy the way I am. My stomach can't handle a lot in it anymore though. It will tear your stomach all to pieces and it will be like that for the rest of your life, so my advice is don't do it because you will pay for it for the rest of your life.

Dear previous post, If you looked at ANY nutrition chart or perhaps had a involved caring doctor then you would have already been informed that weighing 100lbs when you are 5'3 is considered underweight. In addition, because of the increase in promoting the "ideal body" eating disorders have increased significantly (just over the past 10 years) In the future, do not disregard or make light of anyones potential eating disorder. You are not a doctor, therefore you are not licensed to determine the appropriate weight for an individual. --- Hello to the brave, smart, strong individual that submitted this story. I commend you for recognizing your problem and making efforts to fix it. Clearly you have a good head on your shoulder... never forget your past, or what it taught you. Best of luck!
