I have an eating disorder and I need help?

im 14, 5'1 1/2",about 90lbs, and when i went to the doctor's two mondays ago i was diagnosed w/ an eating disorder. i was supposed to see her this monday to get weighed but she's not in until friday.
I plan on getting professional help, but until than I was wondering if anyone knew any good websites that might help me w/ recovering?

thanx

and, also, if any has recovered i want to kno how u did, the treatment process, and any advice u might have.

well most Dr agree that people with eating disorders have a distorted view of themselves or because they feel they can not control other aspects of their life the one thing that they can is their body.

i think a good starting point is to understand yourself a bit better (both your body but especially your mind) and ask yourself what is the reason you want to punish yourself in that way.

anyway i hope you get better, as it seems you do want to as asking for help or info is ta good step.

Hi there!
Yes ...I was anorexic for about 4 years...I went from a healthy 125 pounds to a scary 85!! I was discusting looking! I looked like I was 10! I am currently 25, beautiful and healthy!
I was very scared when my mother forced me to go to a clinic at 85lbs. I hated her. I was only 16 at the time. I sheduled apts weekly with a dietician, and a doctor. My heart rate was so slow that they were suprized I hadn't had a heart attack yet! So months went by, and I tried to trick then into beliveing that I was getting better. But yet my weight was only about 95 lbs. I was so scared of loosing that fufillment of choosing what I ate, and being in my own world. I lost some friends at that point because I was ant-social at the time, I was always fighting with my mother, and always angry because all I could think about was my weight and how I looked. I took over my way of thinking and my my life!
As I got older, 19-20, My weight stayed steady at about 105. Which was better than 85, but still underweight. I looked like I was 13. People didn't take me seriously, they could tell I was voulnerable inside and weak. I couldn't focus on my life, or college for that matter.
I started to make more friends, go out more and start to understand that life is too short to worry about your weight and why was I still like this? Still eating apples and soup all the time. So boring! I realized..."What if I do eat that piece of chocolate?, or have one more round of mashed potato? What's the worst thing that could happen to me seriously?" So I went for it. I had a piece a chocolate, and enjoyed every bite of it! I was nervous and felt guilty after. I was thinkning to myself, ok so I won't eat dinner, or I'll exersize an hour more. NO...I had to stop. Everything in my life is getting better...I wanted to feel alive again, and get control of my future. I didn't want some stupid piece of food controling me!
So...I did it. I took control. I let it go. And learned what correct portion sizes were, how to eat what my body needs for nourishment. I did it.
at 25 I'm 130 lbs and feel sexier than ever. I'm a woman, I'm sucessful, and I'm happy with a man who loves me for every piece of me. I couldn't be happier.
As a result of my anorexia, my heart has permanent heart pulpitations, and flutters often. I have the bones of a 48 year old...yes 48 and I'm 25. I had lost my period for almost 2 years and didn't get any calcium. And I might not be able to have a baby someday. ...now tell me....is a piece of food worth all that? I regret that I didn't seek help sooner. One day at a time........
I hope you find the key to a happier life like I did.

um.. ok thats a good start, but its just a matter of eating healthy and just gain 7lbs thats it :)

Hey there,
I can't really help ya much bc im going throught the same exact thing. All i can say is just keep pushing on and believe that things will get better. I wish u all the luck in the world
*Hugs*

You are probably beautiful no matter what size you are. I had a minor eating disorder and what help me the most was actually having a baby my mind has no choice but to be focused on her and also I am 30 so I think with age you get wiser and there is less pressuer to look a certain way. If something happended in your life that was out of your control you may be controlling what you eat because you can't control anything else. What might help is doing some volunteer work with people who are going through physio at a hospitale or something like that. It might take your mind off your eating disorder and you may see how lucky and healthy you really are:) All the best to you. Seeing a COGNITIVE THERAPIST would be really helpful. They help you change to way you think and help you get over certain fears you have surronding eating.
