If someone on here has an eating disorder and they're using it to try and keep track of their eating, possibly to recover, they're going to make posts like that. And getting "knarky" and short with them about it isn't being supportive of their health and mental state at all. I mean, really people.

Welcome to the internet, you must be new. :)

5'2" here! 124lbs now, hoping for 110lbs by June and 100lbs by the fall semester!

I just reached a (US) size 6 at 130lbs. :) I'm sure you could make it with more though, if you were more toned than I am (which is like, no toning. OTL)

I want to get down to 100, ultimately, but if I weight more with muscle mass then I'm cool with it. I don't want to be a fat zero!

I'm jealous! I'm working my way towards one slowly. :) I think the "healthy" measurement is like 20-24 inches? I don't remember.

I constantly have to catch myself with this! "If the number on the scale is lower than x, then I could maybe have some y to eat/drink...." But we have to remember: we're not dogs, we don't reward ourselves with food! Try to work it into something more positive. Create goals and reward yourself with things that'll last. New…

Depends on the person's figure. If you want a thigh gap, like your icon, then "small thighs" to you, will be you with a thigh gap. :)

In high school girls would purposely walk behind me just to tell me "get out of the way, fatass" or "wide load! watch for sudden stops!" And I was maybe only 140-150 at the time? (5'2".) Not good for a 14 yo's self confidence though. /: Now people tell me "nothing will look good on a rail" and "don't you need a figure for…

i've never not had teeny little 32As (and been too small for 32A bras) so I don't know! i prefer flatter figures if i'm honest

Congratulations! I recently felt the same about an old pair of work pants :)

I can draw. I pay my bills!! I'm going back to school in autumn :)

Mulberry Zuccarin supplements killed my cravings completely. :)

No thank you. :) Please tell your friend that random people on the internet care about her and are sooooo super proud of her going that long without it! I just hope my post will help at least one person out there who could read it and see people care about them and don't feel so alone in all of it.

A lot of places/people don't even recognize binge eating/over eating as a disorder. Sure, some people are just natural over eaters but for people seriously suffering from doing it and wanting help should get the same love and support that someone wanting help for anorexia or bulimia do! ♥ It's a serious issue, no matter…

I consider ED a form of self harm due to the physical effect the stress and practice takes on your body, but I mostly meant that most of the people I've met who also have an ED also cut or harm themselves through other means because of it. They're very closely linked in any case. Thank you, everyone who commented. You're…

Thank you.

I'm glad you recovered dear. ♥

I wasn't asking for help or advice, it was more venting than anything. Thanks.

♥ Thank you.

You seem to think it's easy to get professional help. It's expensive and from past experiences, not very useful.

My profile has changed? Yes I changed my picture, but nothing else really. All this thread was for was to make people aware of what day it was. I'm sorry for explaining what and why I self harm, I won't talk about it anymore. I just enjoy sharing things I can't talk about IRL with people who may actually understand. I…

Mine mostly comes from the fact I also have an ED. Ate at dinner? Hurt yourself. Get a cookie? Hurt yourself. Have something besides fruit? Hurt yourself. The list goes on. I also abuse diet pills because "they're not working fast enough!" At least, that's how it started.

Exactly. One of the reasons it's so hard to help is that anyone could do it, and most of the time people see the signs and never say anything. I remember in high school, a girl actually went to the councilor about her cutting and the lady didn't do anything about it. No school therapy, no call to her parents to get her…

Oh my... :blushing: But, seriously, thanks for explaining it a bit better. (Record shows I AM whiny and over sensitive and get upset over little things so the reassurance helps.) Somehow I wasn't emo in school?? Maybe because the music sucked. I was the weird kid who sat by herself and didn't eat lunch.

Now that I read that again I realize I might sound whiny or over sensitive. But I'm just a bit upset that such a positive thread is being made fun of.

Because it's both a reminder to ourselves of what we've overcome/need to overcome, as well as covering them up. Which most people who self harm do, to hide. Making a joke out of it, however, is triggering because most people self harm *because* they've been made fun of or picked on or abused physically and/or verbally.…

♥ Thanks hon.

Thank you! ♥♥ Better late than never. :)

Thank you :) :) ♥ I want anyone who's hurt themselves to know they have my full support! Message me any time.
