I went on holiday with my parents for 4days. It was an all inclusive and we were given meals. They were buffets and the portion were huge. I threw up most nights. One night i just dindt think and left the toliet. My brother saw the vomit and confronted me infront of my parents. My mum whos had suspcions before shouted at me for it. She says that im out of control and that i am being selfish by doing it. I deined it but shes still unsure. She doesnt understand, and i dont expect her too but i just wish she did.

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...
he only had a go at me because he is worried, and as we talked he became less angry. I never thought I could have talked to him about this, but I did. give it time, at some point you may find you have to.
I'm thinking of you, and I'm always here if you need to talk.

They are going to be angry. They are going to yell. They do it because they are scared and have no control over the situation. I've been called selfish so many times, but as you know you don't really WANT to do it. Selfish is spending family money on a Versace purse (or D&G, pick your poison). Having an eating disorder is something that you don't choose to suffer from.
On that note, now that others know you need to re-evaluate if its worth continuing. I know that if it was just me on this earth I would binge/purge from morning until night. Now that you've seen their reaction and you know how much it hurts them you've got to decide if its worth it anymore (as if it ever was).
Approach them with what you need...support from them, understanding on a difficult issue, and the things you need to help you recover (counseling, psychotherapy, inpatient). If they "attack" you end the conversation with a simple "Your angry response is not going to help the issue, therefore I can't talk to you about it right now." Don't write them off though...your family loves you.
Good luck and take care
It sounds like like you had a horrid time, but the others who replied are right. I think I would feel better if I could tell people about it, and the old addage is right: it's good to talk.
....?!?!
I really think you should tell your mum. I know for a fact that mine would probably not say stupid stuff like that if she knew. Parents are just terrified of their kids being hurt. That's all. Yeah, it may be seen as anger, but if they knew about the problem they might know how to deal.
Try going to something-fishy.org and printing off some information for her. You could even e-mail it to her if it's too difficult to do it in person.
Good luck xoxox
