Sara asked:


When I first started out modeling, I was very self concious, and developed an eating disorder. Now, after numerous therapy sessions, I’ve become healthy and confident.
My old modeling agency where I first began, wants me to speak at their graduation. They don’t know about my eating disorder though. Should I tell them I had an eating disorder and let them know if it’s right that I should still talk to the graduating class?
P.S. I really want to talk about my eating disorder, to make sure the girls (and guys!) know where to go for help if they were ever in my situation. Would it be too bad if I just got up and started talking about my eating disorder without telling them beforehand? Ever potential model should know about the risks of any eating disorder.

Any personal accounts would really be helpful as well (but you don’t have to share them if you don’t want)

I don’t have an eating disorder, but it is certainly not ruled out of possbility that I may have one.

Butterfly asked:


Also does anyone know of an eating disorder treatment place in Kansas, I can not find one. I am to the point where I know I need to get help, but need to find it nearby.

Marisa K asked:


I’ve been wondering for a while – mainly about anorexia and bulimia (though I would be interested to find out about those with compulsive eating disorder and the like). Do you think about food all day, do you completly forget about food, do you think about exercising or purging or binging or how to avoid people or what?

If you could also state how long you’ve had your ED for, that would also be helpful as I think that makes a big difference in your thought pattern.

Also, how does everyone else react to being hungry or full relative to their ED? Because I’ve read up alot on this but I’ve found that some of it when applied to real life just doesn’t seem true to me so I would like to find out what the truth really is.
I’d really appreciate non-textbook answers, more real-life. Also, one thing I forgot to put in the question, how do you feel after you binge/eat accidently?

anonymous asked:


She doesn’t know that I know about it. She hasn’t told any of us about it (her friends). She is one of those people that appears very strong. Since she hasn’t told me about it I feel like I shouldn’t tell her I know, so how can I help her?

I would especially appreciate advice from people who either have an eating disorder or have had one, since you would understand what she is going through more than I do.

SeaYouAtTheBeach asked:


What are the statistics of girls with eating disorders? How many of them that start dieting at age 13-14 get an eating disorder? What percent?
Maybe I should have put it this way: What are the chances of a person who started dieting at age 13 getting an eating disorder? i.e.(this isn’t true but just an example of the kind of answer I’m looking for)—20% of people who start dieting at age 13 get an eating disorder…

Jillard asked:


I’m struggling with an eating disorder and I’ve been searching for a good website with advice and support, but so far I can’t find any. Or if anyone reading this can try to talk to me, I would really appreciate it. I talk to my family and friends, but it’s hard to be open with them.

Wife + Mom = ME asked:


Im a Mother of two and a husband of one… Iv been bulimic for the past 6 years now, and enough is enough… I want to stop for my daughter becuase even though she’s only two now, I don’t want her knowing that her Mommy is a loser who can’t eat a meal without throwing it back up!!! And I don’t ever want her to go through what I have! I feel that if I tell evry one I know about my Eating disorder than theres no way I could go back to it! I don’t think Iv dijested a meal in about 1 1/2 years, and it sickens me to think about it!!! I’v finally realised that NO ONE CARES WHAT I LOOK LIKE!!! the world is not all about me. but I know that in dew time if I don’t make an effort to tell people then I’ll just go back to the ED… Anyone with advice on how to tell my parents and my in-laws and my husband please let me know!!! thanks
anyone who knows what this crap is like let me know. sometimes you feel all alone with something like an Eating disorder but in reaility millions of people have them!

emmy asked:


If you have an eating disorder, and nobody knows about it, how can you tell if they suspect you have one? What kind of little hints do they drop to find out on their own? Do they keep offering you snacks to see your reaction? There has to be someting out of the ordinary that would give it away that they are trying to figure it out without coming forth and outright asking, like detective work. What are some tell-tale signs?

tornapart83 asked:


Today my boyfriend was hospitalized again. This time around I hope they actually focus on what the cause of his depression and that is his eating disorder. He has been suffering from it since he was younger and has been in treatment before but has relapsed. My question is what is it that I can do to help him. No matter what I’m supporting him, he’s tried telling me to go, that he doesn’t deserve me, but I know that the man I fell in love with is still there. I’m having some problems coping with this on my own and am in serious need of people to talk to if they have ever dealt with my kind of situation. My sister suffered from bulimia a few years ago so I do know the basics about ED but I’ve never really seen it happen in men and I know it does more frequently than people think, I just need to know from someones perspective how to cope. I don’t want to lose him, I love him more than anything in this world and his being sick is killing me…Help!
