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...
HANG IN THERE, you're not in this alone

This isn't about weight loss. This is about your life. Yes, this is very real. Yes, you may have just damaged your heart, the stitches, etc..
Ring a professional, see what they say.

ahh the thing is they wouldent c the heart theyd just c the purging and get mad at me. they don t understand!!!
I can totally understand that for some people, involving parents is never going to help (mine were like that too), but maybe you could confide in a teacher if you're still at school, or maybe ask a friend to go along to the doctors with you without involving your parents at this stage.
The thing is hun, eating disorders aren't really about food, they're about "control" - my parents were very controlling, they made it very difficult for me to do anything or go anywhere without them knowing, and they would never accept that they had contributed to my eating problems, they always laid all the blame at my door, but if you reach out in the right direction, there are people who are used to helping young women in similars position to yourself, and they will take you seriously hun.

And when all this is done your parents need to go to a family session with you so they understand that they can't force food on you. Maybe you can compromise on some kind of food intake with them.
