Are they right to worry?

[happinessisoverrated]

My friend spent the week at my house, and now she's really worried about me. Her mom died of anorexia when she was 8, and she's starting to notice some symptoms in me.
I'm 14, 5'3, and weigh about 117lbs and I think I'm extremely fat. I look in the mirror and I hate what I see; I'm disgusted by myself. I work out constantly, I can't and won't bring myself to eat much, and if I do eat a lot I feel sick and I want to purge. In the past couple of weeks I've lost almost 10lbs, and when I see someone with an eating disorder I'm extremely jealous of their bodies..
My boyfriend is also really worried about me. I was really happy about this weight loss, but now I'm not so sure..
Are they right to worry? I'm not really sure what to do..

Yes, your friends are right to worry about you hun. From what you've told me, it seems that you've got the beginnings of an eating disorder--right now just anorexia, but it appears that you may develop bulimia as well if things continue on down the path they're on. I would advise you to try to begin to talk to a school counselor before things get worse. I know it's hard, I know what that mindset is like, and it's very difficult to see yourself that way. A counselor can help you begin to see yourself in a healthy way again. Your friends care about you hun, and they're there to help and support you too. We're all here to support you if you need us to as well, and if you ever need to talk we're here!

Yeah, it really does sound like you have an eating disorder. Your weight is healthy (on the slim side, just not disgustingly thin) and your eating habits are dangerous. They are right to worry and you should get help before this gets any worse. Take it from me and the poster above me: if you let this continue you will be in hell.

If you think that your fat[which you are not]what is the size you want.
and if you want to feel better, eat more fruit. They are low in calories, have the nutrients you need to live a happy life, and you just feel good
