Well honey, you'd never know how much you really regret the day you get stuck in it - and how it destroys your life.
Why do you really want an ED? The control you gain is temporary.
Why do you really want an ED? The control you gain is temporary.
Positives: 0
Negatives (immediate effects and latter effects):
- Osteoporosis
- Anxiety
- Depression
- No energy
- Loss of sleep
- Overfocus on food, eating and performing well
- Fainting, causing all eyes to focus on YOU (do you really want that?)
- Friends run out of things to talk with you about
- Constantly freezing
- Starting to worry about how to hide the weightloss
- Lifelong changes to your health
- In all health matters, your GP will most likely think "psychology" before anything.
The list is longer than this - consider the worry you give yourself and your family and friends. It has to be something else you can do than this.
Dear, I know what it is to consider getting control by wanting to take control of something you seemingly can control - but food is and will always be a vital need. We've got to eat to live.
Don't punish yourself now - change your diet to HEALTHY instead. Look into ways to eat that gives you a positive attitude to life.
I don't say this to be mean.
Do you have anyone you can talk to about this?
If you like, you could PM me.
