Using laxatives, loosing weight...

[Aceso]

Okay, so I just started drinking loads of green tea, and missing meals...I have gone from 8st '3 to 8 stone. Thrilled and worried. I am Just above the underweight percentile, and I keep purging as well. I dont know what to think. I am also loosing my appetite, and my ribs are starting to very slightly show again...
Sorry, bit of a random post...just needed to share my thoughts...

How tall are you?
How long did it take you to loose that weight?
Purging is never healthy. It's bad for your teeth and your vital organs such as your heart. Living with a heart problem isn't fun, you really don't want that believe me. If your scared it probably means that you have your doubts about this, and you can use these doubts to aid you in recovery.

Laxatives don't make you lose real weight, you're likely to be losing water weight, which is very damaging as in this water weight are things you NEED to keep alive. As well as that, purging is putting major strain on your body.

Use your worries & doubts to turn this around.
You DON'T want to have medical complications arise, trust me.

I am around 170 (about 5ft 7)
It took me about two weeks. So its not a huge amount.
I have thrown up about three times in the past three months, however I probably try a lot more times than that.
I know its not healthy...But I keep having this image in my head, thinking I look skinny but actually fat. I dont want to become deluded. I feel like the mirror is lying to me. I keep feeling like other people see me bigger than I see myself...

It is probably the contrary. You probabaly see yourself fatter than other people do.
And you seem a perfect weight for your height.
I know it's hard not to throw up but you really have to try, because you are the perfect weight.

You should really be careful not only is it not healthy but laxitives have serious and discusting side effects like ,as gross as it may sound, anal leakage. As to how you look you really shouldnt try to change yourself your already perfect the way you are. There are also healthier alternatives if your serious. Regular diet and excersise are some of the examples.

I use laxatives only when I have bad bowel movement.

Laxatives not only does those aforesaid ailments, but also nutrients that are in the food. This way, you will never lose weight.

You want to lose weight? Start eating fruits and vegetables, nuts and whole grain products. Eat digestive biscuits. Pick foods that burns fat, and not induce fat or whatever makes your body store unnecessary fat. Exercise and exercise - better and planned food intakes aids you in your exercise regime, by which the physical exercises will help you lose fat. That's it. You will lose fat like hell.

I wish I could follow my own plan, but I couldn't. I start for a week, and then stop in the next. That's my problem, unfortunately.
