So, in recent times (Year or more) I have been eating way too much junk food and not enough good food and exercise. This has to do to the fact that I am depressed and suicidal at some times.

The depression had caused me to stay in front of my PC all day and not do any sports or such to keep me somewhat healthy. I have neglected all 'healthy' food.
But, in even more recent times (Month or so)I have starved myself. I now really hate my body and weight (200lbs?). I have some skin problems such as acne, and I have noticed some stretch marks(I think) on my legs.

I now hate food, as it has caused me to fuck my weight up.
One day, about 2 weeks ago I had no breakfast, lunch and I had barely any dinner. It left like I could just roll over and die at that moment.
People didn't know what to think of me, as my stomach was rumbling most of the day.

I know many of you are doing the same as I am, starving yourself. Any tips or advice to get out of it? Please share any stories about your experiences, too.

Anorexia is a very difficult disease to deal with. When you starve yourself like that, you are training your body to not accept food and instead throw it back up. There are medical treatments you must go through to get out of it. Once you are out of it, you need to eat moderately healthy and work out on your cardio like running, jumping, and sprints. You may notice that you actually gain weight from it and believe that it isn't working. That's where you're wrong. Muscle weighs a lot more than fat, so the scale isn't the best thing to use. What I'm saying is that the fat is going away, and muscle is being put there instead. hope that helped,

My advice is not to starve yourself. You think stretch marks are bad? Those are nothing. Starving yourself won't make you healthy and pretty, it will make you sick, feeble, tired, irritable, and bony. Think about the bruises that will pop up, and think about not being able to sit down after a while because you will be so thin that it will hurt.

Think about pushing away everyone around you for something so small, yet so big, food.

Instead, eat moderately and do not restrict. Exercise and do not chastise yourself if you overeat every once in a while, or if you have a cupcake and some cookies, but eat to live, don't live to eat.

Don't weigh yourself very often, your weight fluctuates. Instead, keep track of your measurements. Whereas you may have only dropped a pound exercising, you could have lost two inches around a thigh. Success is measured in more than one way.

If I had anyone to push away from me, it would help. But I am the kinda person who would sit down at my PC most of the day. You know, the 'no friends' type of person.


Don't weigh yourself very often,
I don't weigh myself too often. Once every few months or so.

I know it is easier said than done, I've been through this before, and it's hard, but you just have to push through it.

Well, think about the other aspects of an eating disorder if you haven't people to push away. Overreacting to the smallest things because you're so hungry you're angry, being severely depressed, being suicidal, most likely turning to self harm for "punishment," etc.

At least you don't weigh yourself often; that's one good thing.
