I'm still gaining weight. how does that work?! I'm not eating more than one meal a day and my weight is still slowly creeping up! I feel so fat. It's stupid I know! I know I'm not fat, but I feel it. and that part of me is pushing me to lose more weight. I'm really scared, because it makes me feel good when I see I'm getting thinner. but then sometimes it makes me feel even worse because I know I look terrible. I don't know what to do. I feel so low, and I'm scared I'm going to end up cutting again, or worse.

how do I stop all of this? I'm not strong enough to do this.

don't say that, don't hurt yourself. you are her e on this earth for a reason we all have our share of problems thats why we're on this site but we can help eachother and know we're not alone. you need to love your body and yourself i know im not one to talk i need to do the same but its true once you realize it. still although im going through what i think is a really fat stage i still have that longingness of being extremely thin and waking up every morning getting thinner and thinner and i don't know how to stop that want and excitement it sounds crazy

Well when I was younger, I was really really skinny, but it was natural, and I got bullied really badly, they used to call me fat etc, I guess they were being ironic, but I believed them and as I got to about 10/11 it got worse and I became bulimic, but I got really ill, and I lost a stone in a week, and already being so thin made me even worse, I ended up in hospital for a while to sort out some kind of cyst, and they realised I'd got an ED and sorted me out.

Up until recently I was really happy with my body, but some kids started calling me fat etc, and it just triggered all those inscurities, I just feel really ugly. I hate it.

Thats just terrible people are just so cruel. i was naturally thin when i was young and watching family members and friends starve themselves i could never do it but i cant get past the bulimia. i don't get bullied and my family and friends are always telling me u look great but i just don't agree with them i just feel fat i know just how you feel

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
