Well, I saw my doctor today about my binge eating, I was already bloated and I really, really wish he hadnt but he weighed me and I was 137 lbs. on top of that I binged today again, I feel so, hopeless now, just 2 weeks ago I was 126 lbs and happy with myself, then people started stressing me out, calling me too thin, making me feel bad and causing me to binge myself back to this. after all the hard work :(

    Yeah I've been there before. People would say I had gotten too thin and it triggered me to binge more.

    Ignore them... it's hard but their opinions don't matter.

    However, I'm not sure if your goal weight is within a healthy BMI. It sounds small for a guy (no offense) Just make sure your doctor approves.

    I'm sorry you're in such pain and feel out of control.

    Did you and your doctor have a conversation about disordered eating? Do you need a referral to see an ED specialist? You've been hurting so much over this issue for the last couple of weeks (at least) that it seems professional help might be useful. It's good you come here for moral support. I just think that you could get trained, personal support from a therapist/nutritionist.

    I agree with the above. You need professional help. I would also question you. Is it worth sacrificing your health, and getting into this state, to do what you wish to do in terms of modelling? Actually, I have not really noted any really thin male models and I tend to see a fair number of fashion articles and pictures. They usually have muscle. Also, rememeber, there is more than one type of area of male modelling, including that of the fitness industry.

    In terms of others making you binge, I have to be blunt and disagree here. I had someone who offered to support me and help me with me bulimia, unceremoniously dump me at a bad time, having promised to stick by me, and that resulted in my binge eating for 6 solid weeks, 6000+ calories a day, as well as purging. I was a real mess. I hated her at the time, and blamed her totally. To a degree, I am still slightly bitter towards her, but in the end, I chose to react the way I did, rather than dealing with the emotions in a healthy way. In the end, I had not worked on why I binged, and so I cannot blame her. We choose how we react to situations, and to people. The power is in our hands to change how we react to our emotions.
