Are you eating too little for your body to function properly? Are you underweight? Do you have bad eating habits (purging etc.)? If any answer is yes, please, try to talk to someone who can help you before you go too far. It's much easier to break free from it if you attack it in the early stages. If you eat enough, aim…

If you don't like it, change it. :smile:

Well done! One can really see the change :)

1. To get my strength and energy back. I want to be able to walk, run, do my work properly and have fun with friends without struggling with staying alert and awake. 2. So I can go to France and be an au pair. 3. To cook amazing dishes and be able to enjoy them afterwards. 4. To think "in five years I want to be doing…

I'm dealing with a similar situation. I live with mom and her husband and I really want to tell mom. Maybe she won't like it but she's a very accepting and supportive person, so I think she'll be okay with it if she gets time to get used to it. Her husband is the problem, he is very conservative. Although I'm not planning…

I was gonna say "whatever?" but then realised it's illegal in USA to have sex with someone who's under 18. The legal age in Sweden, where I live, is 15. I guess I would think of it as an odd and a bad choice though, 12 years is a a lot when you're that young. 20 and 32 isn't as strange, you're much much more mature when…

I'm struggling with anorexia and my hair has definitely become thinner. It falls out easily and overall it doesn't look as good as before. I don't know if there's a difference between anorexia and bulimia but you're probably right. I think if you put a healthy person who eats good food and exercise a lot between someone…

Wow. Just, wow. Nothing wrong with joking, but when you joke about others, make sure it won't make them feel bad. I don't understand how adults can bully someone they don't even know and then go "she did it FIRST!!!", like a seven year old. :huh:

Hi y'all! :happy: I'm Sarah, 18 years old, and I really like the idea of a group where you can share things without being afraid of snarky comments. I'm excited about this :smile: I have an eating disorder and I want to recover. Some days are great, some days are not so great but I'm trying my best most of the time. Nice…

Bacon. It's one of the most disgusting things I've ever put in my mouth. The smell is even worse :sick:

When I wake up early after a good night's sleep My friends Walking around in my beautiful city Nature Art Sunsets/sunrises Being drunk When I do something I didn't know I could do Success When people show me they love me Animals Swimming in a lake - or even better, the sea Dancing Swimming Running Writing poetry My family…

I took the test because last time I did was such a long time ago, and I scored INTP, with only a 1% strength preference for thinking. Which makes sense since I know I'm an INFP. ;) I'm not very introverted though, some people would perhaps say that I'm an ENFP... But I have some knowledge in this area and I function more…

Haha, win.

A nurse told me that my dry lips were caused by me "licking my lips too often". Atopic dermatisis, hello.

Aww, bless this thread. Eveytime I read "REAL women has" or "REAL men has" or "REAL people have" or "REAL whatever has" I start to feel so normal and suddenly I fit into all categories and can finally feel all the pressure disappear. (Real people understand sarcasm.)

Go abroad, but I might do it earlier. Live and be happy, I guess.

I'm 5'6 and I like my height. My boobs are ridiculously small (US size: 32AA), I don't really care much about having big boobs but it would be nice to find bras that actually fit :sad:

^Yep, same here.

Don't focus so much on your weight loss that you forget everything else in life.

I believed that smoke detectors could predict the future, so when the alarm went off you had about an hour to pack your things and run away as fast as you could BEFORE the fire started. Haha :D

Epic thread is epic. :laugh:

Aww, poor cat :cry:

Net above your BMR. You don't have to eat back all your exercise calories but the common advice is to eat back enough to have a net above BMR.

Dear 16 year old Sarah, Don't listen to what people around you say. They're brainwashed and know nothing about the world. There's nothing wrong with you, nothing! The following years will be difficult, but don't give up. Don't cut, please. I know life sucks but it will get better. You have to speak up when people do you…

I've eaten more than 1000 cals for two weeks now! Although my net has been lower a couple of times, it's still a big step for me. :happy:

Make sure you eat enough, and eat many small meals instead of a few large meals. Drink more water. Increase your intake of vegetables and protein. It will make you less hungry :) that's the best advice I can give. And yeah, get enough sleep. If you're tired, your body will crave (unhealthy) food because it needs energy.…

Your net should always be above your BMR. You'll probably lose at a faster rate, and your body will thank you :smile: Also, don't worry if you don't lose in a week, it's perfectly normal. If you haven't lost anything in a month, then try to see what you can change. Some great info:…
