Hi im 16,
Weigh 7st 7
And im 5ft 6
(female)

when i was about 13 a lot was happening in my life and I started suffering with anorexia.
I went from 9st - 6st
No one realised but I think my mum did as she started making me come in for tea but she never took me to the doctors.

I started eating propely again (1000 kl) at about half way through 2008.
I've only just realised that 1000kl still isnt enough for a day but most of the time I eat less than that, thats on a good day.

If anything happens in my life (even if its something little) I go back to what I was like ibefore and I cant even stop it.

I think im fat
Im always the last person to finish what were eating
My hairs thin and it always falls out
I've got bald spots on my head (you cant tell inless your straightening my hair or something)
Im always bloated
Always pale or purple
Im very self concious and not confident
When I exersize im always thinking of burning the calories I've just ate
Iregular periods

Do you think im still suffering with anorexia?
And what shall I do?
If I am will I ever fully recover or
If im not then will I ever stop going back like I was before when something upsets me?

also im starting to freek out because i keep eating and i carnt seem to control it :s  i even made myself sick because i felt grose and fat and stuff because how much i ate ... what shalll i do???
please help me and thanks for the answers in advance xx

hang in there Hun. I've learned the hard way that an eating disorder is no fun.  I've also learned that the anxiety over food doesn't always have to do with what you look like. I have come across times of stress like finances or trying to do everything for everybody. I loose all sense of controll and lean on my eating disorder where loosing weight is a great accomplishment. And something I have complete control of.   Wehn inactiality we has control of me. Ed will destroy if you let him. It is possible to have complete recovery but you have someone you can talk to. And don't be ashamed. I have gone through

Hey,

To answer your question...
You see, it's not necesarily how much you weigh that determines the disorder...it's your frame of mind. Judging by your symptoms and the way you described your feelings towards eating and the sense of loss of control...I'd say that you are likely still suffering from an ED and i think that you might benefit from talking to someone...perhaps somebody to keep you accountable. Counseling is typically a good plan too.. and they're available at clinics and school.

If you want to talk, send me a message.

good luck
