Here is a peak into my history of eatingdisorders. This is the story of me… In a few words. You have heard it before, but still I’m different. I am 23 right now, but I have been dealing with this for almost as long as I can remember. when I was about 11 I didn’t know how to deal with my pain and feelings. So I turned to food. when I got home from school I turned to the cupboards for something to chew, to eat… To make me not think about anything else! I did this for years. Not really knowing why I did it. Occasionally I would try to diet and lose weight. I was flirting with the obsession of losing weight and being thin. When I was 17 I really did it. Didn’t eat for a week, lost some weight, and I was really trapped in my own world consisting of hiding and avoiding food. Food was my enemy, and I was spellbound 24/7. Slowly people started to notise what I was doing. I was sent to the school’s doctor. My weight went up and down. I was starving, bingeing and purging and using laxatives. After seeing the school’s doctor for a year, he wanted me to be admitted to hospital. But there was no place for me. Not for 8 months… I stayed at the hospital for six months. Not much better when I got out… I kept losing weight that summer, and in september ’04 I was admitted again. But this time against my will! I stayed there for 8 months. I had gained about 25 pounds, but in my head I was still anorexic. But something was better… I was actually living a bit that summer. I started … Video Rating: 4 / 5

This video gives some great insights into anorexia.
I hadn’t been on lately, so I was really suprised to see how many views I had gotten; not to mention, my video is the first link on google, if you try searching “anorexic.” Thank you so much for your comments, because it’s also very inspirational for other girls to see your responses to this problem. I will try replying to as many comments as I can.
If, like me, you are passionate about the whole subject of anorexia then I am sure you will find this video to be well worth watching. If so, please leave a comment!
A school project, but real life examples from my own personal story/battle that continues today.
Basically, I’m anorexic and intentionally purge if I do have to eat. I always thought these diseases weren’t very serious, then I got ****** into one myself. I still feel like I’m completely horrible and selfish- i mean, here I am wasting food, starving myself, putting myself at risk for heart attacks, etc, and yet I don’t care and would like to continue if I wasn’t vomiting blood.
So do you think it’s really a “disease” or what?
I am a recovered anorexic, and I never ever want to look back. I want to become vegeatarian, but I have never seen weight loss as one of my motives. I am disgusted by the way meat and products are processed, and I never have been a fan of meat. The only meat I really eat is chicken.
I want to be a vegetarian and make a steady transition, but I’m afraid my parents will think it’s an eating disorder.
I’ve been “stable” for about six and a half months now.
I have alwayways wondered if someone can “just become” anorexic or if anorexia is something they are born with that shows after stress in life. I have never had the want to not eat so I would think it’s something you are born with. I know it’s a disease, but is it an imbedded disease? Thanks.
