oh my god, please dont do this to yourself. Your parents have a serious problem if they tellyou this kind of crap.l have four kids and suffer from bulimia i have had it since i was your age and you dont just get rid of it, once you start your on it and it consumes you.
Please try to talk with a counsellor at school, or an adult that you trust. Better yet tell your parents to stop this that it is hurting you .
Ifyou want to chat i am here.
And something is broken, your spirt ashley.

hi honey.. i think because of your age it's very hard to deal with especially if your parents are making it worse.. it doesn't sound as though anyone knows about your ED? of course the best thing is to talk to someone, but i know how hard it can be to talk to people about it, i haven't done it yet either.. so here's a bit of advice in case you don't talk to anyone: what i try to do is eat healthy and practice self-control.. of course it often doesnt work, but everyday i get up and i try again.. the main thing is to realize that self control does not mean never eating.. try eating healthy meals, and eliminate snacking and sweets, they can really trigger binges..

Im so sorry that you feel like you have to lose weight and I am sorry that your parents are causing you to feel that way. I am 18 now and I started having an eating disorder when I was 13. I am still fighting it, but it may help you to realize that time is going to go by so fast and when you look in the mirror you may see that you want to lose 10 lbs. but instead try to maintain your weight, because its likely that you wouldn't mind being your weight when you are an adult?? This helps me accept myself the way I am.

That is about the age my eating disorder started. My parents never actually said anything about my mom being smaller than me but both her and my sister were always smaller. I had it in my head that I needed to be their size but in reality I am the right size because i am 3 inches taller than them. You cant compare what your body should look like to someone else we are all differant! Please talk to someone about how your feeling and dont begin down the path of an eating disorder..it will consume your life.
