my friends and my family tell me that I'm underweight. even my bf says I need to "get wider", but I still see myself as fat. not all of me. I'm not stupid. but i know I need to work out and eat better and even though people keep telling me to gain weight I don't want to.
last night a modeling scout came up to me when i was with my friends and was talking to me about modeling. now i'm even more paranoid. I don't really want to be a model. i think it'd be ok, but to me it would just be a way to get money for college and a car and buy stuff for my friends and family. so i see these models and i know that i can't so that and i hate my body and am so self conscious. i think that if i start modeling I might make myself lose even more weight (i'm already 15 pounds underweight) and I don't want to hurt myself.
how do i make myself stop starving myself?
should i even try it?
blah

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...
No money in the world is worth putting yourself under any more pressure/stress about your image. Some of the strongest most beautiful women develop eating disorders due to the pressure they receive from their agents, photographers, stylists, makeup artists, assistants...the list goes on. I work in the photography industry and I can't tell you how many people I've seen spiral downward.
DO address your Anorexia. DON'T add to it.
I did a one week thing at an agency, when I was just coming off my first bout of anorexia. They said I had a good look, I could do well, etc... And then started talking about how many inches I needed to lose. They asked me to write down everything I ate, they took my measurements right in front of the other girls...
I'm 14.
It was not a healthy experience, it just panicked me.
Now, they've called at least once or twice in the last month because they would like me to do some acting with them.
I haven't called back.
