I finally told a couple of my friends about my weird eating habits - I was pretty shocked at their reponse. One of my friends had tears in her eyes because a few members of her family have got really ill because of undereating. I felt terrible. She said it was now really obvious I'd dropped the 10 pounds and was also confused that she hadn't noticed earlier - and confused as to why I hadn't said something to her earlier. Anyone in my situatuon, please tell someone you know you can trust, and don't wait around before you do. It feels much better, I wish I said something before.
My other friend also shocked me. She's been on the verge of anorexia herself! - one of my best friends, and she never told me! I knew she was small framed and that she'd lost some weight at one point a while ago but she'd told me really genuinely that she was tired and stressed, and I knew she was on weight gain pills to sort it out - She'd been eating junk at school throughout the days to hide it from everyone, then got home and ate nothing. Why did I not notice! She also told me that my other friend has been bulimic for 7 years. 7 YEARS. and I didn't know. She'd only told two people including the friend that told me. I was shocked. I could nottt believe it. I hope she's okay :( I can't tell her I know either because I'll get my friend in trouble.
I always knew eating disorders were all around me but I had no idea.
