hiya im 19 years old, and i am 5"8, and weigh 7 stone. People keep telling me im too thin, but when i look in the mirror all i see is fat. I hate myself, and my fat ugly body!

Ok you have to help me a little... 7 stone?  I'm guessing that's weight, nonetheless, it is an issue that needs to be addressed. If you are consciencely not eating due to fear of gaining weight, or you feel you are already fat (when you are ideal weight or under weight), these start leading to worse things, like not eating for two days. I still have what my dr. calls anorexia with BDD body dysmorphic disorder... I see cellulite on my arms, I swear, and my stomach needs to be flater, he says it can't get flater those are organs. I feel like I'm in a funny house mirror and I see myself a completely different way and other people are trying to be nice. What helps is to surround yourself with positive supportive people, I'm trying so hard and I have a boyfriend who is helping pull me outta such a mindset that I have had for so long. In a long answer I would consider it anorexia, usually after about 2 weeks, otherwise it could just be considered stress, but considering your honest motivation behind your decisions, I would say yes. How long has this been going on? I will be keeping in touch if you would like to talk... And it will take a little acceptance on your part which won't be easy either. I'm 5'4 and 115 and I have to accept I will never have long legs and have what I consider an ideal body in my head, that's just not possible... so sometimes no matter how hard you try you're not going to acheive the results you want. Hope to talk soon

i see fat on me all the time, i try not to look in the mirror, but when i do, i burst into ters and get really angry with myself, thats when i dont eat for so many days. Today im feeling a bit faint and weak, but thats good right? It means im losing more weight. Im 7 stone now, all i need to lose is another stone. So then ill be 84lbs, im now 98lbs.

Ok you are already extremely underweight, to try losing anymore is ludacris, not to mention dangerous. You do need to talk to someone right away. Trust me I can understand the concept of seeing nothing but anything bad, but you're going to destroy yourself. What good is it going to be if you are skinny but not alive? I liked having the control and I still get the moments when I get into a mindset, but you have to realize your body systems will start shutting down because there is nothing left for them to run on. There is a way to maintain a healthy weight and develop a healthy mind. You can't do it by yourself, just don't ruin yourself. Some people don't realize what they are doing until it is too late and then they can't reverse it...

Have not eaten anything for 2 days? Please eat something now my dear, it is no good if you leave your stomach empty exercising alone is not helping one to lose weight but what you need is a balance - proper, continuous exercise and balance diet meal. Is your weight and height right for your body try calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index) and you'll know, take care.

Honestly being Anorexic is no fun. You don't wanta be Anorexic. I've struggled with an eating disorder for around two years and I hate it.

Right now I'm struggling and I feel like I'm not thin enough. I'm pretty fat actually and right now don't even hit the Anorexic criteria  my bmi is only 17.7, I know hideously high.

I look at other posts especially the girl that 5'8 and 7 stones and I'm like wow that's a real anorexic. She needs to gain weight , but part of me is like I wish I was as underweight as you then maybe I will be sick enough. And you definately are Anorexic way more an anorexic then I will ever be. Your bmi is under 15 that's so low  in a way I'm jealous I got down to 16.2 but that's as low as I've gotten. so ya you definately Anorexic.

Society is disgusting and I know how you all feel. I am just scared for my daughter. She is six years old , and I see how my behaviors have affected her. She won't even eat a candybar because she says  it will make her fat. I have a problem and so do everyone of you. I am 5'4 " 116 lbs and every time I look in the mirror I cry. I just cannot seem to like myself. I think this is affecting my marriage do to my problems I have absolutly no self esteem. I dont even want to stay with my husband because if it. He does not help. I wont tell him this.I dont think I will be happy with anyone unless I can learn to like myself. I do not want to feel this way anymore.  WE ALL NEED TO HELP EACH OTHER!!!!!!! We need to feel beautiful and find some beauty in ourselves. F**k internet porn, and beautiful 18 year old models,and all other people that were just blessed mentally,physically etc...... with perfect everything. We are real women and we need to realize this and tuly except ourselves. Start by looking in the mirror and find something that you like about yourself. Find somthing that you love. I promise I will do it if you will.........

You have a distorted body image. I have the same issue. I know I'm not over weight, (125) 5'6, but I feel fat. I think it has a lot to do with control issues. Controling your weight gives you control over something when everything else seems out of your control. At least this is what I have been told.
