How to avoid an eating disorder??!?!?

I used to be bulimic...and i decided to stop it when i found out of all the problems it can cause..but inside i didnt get much better...i still starve myself when im upset and over eat when im confused..i hate looking in the mirror because i have this messed up image of myself...people are constantly worried about me..i want to have a good self image but its kinda hard to when ive been eating too much..but when it comes time for swim suit season i want to put on that bikini and be happy about myself..
im 14 ..5'2 108 pounds btw..i thought that info might be useful

i struggled for years with various eating disorders. the only thing that has helped me is reading books by geneen roth. she has been bulimic, anorexic, and a compulsive over-eater. at first i didn't even want to read one of her books because it's titled "why weight? a guide to ending compulsive eating." i didn't want people to think i was a compulsive eater - and actually, i wasn't. but this book, and all of her others, genuinely helps with all kinds of eating disorders in ways that others don't. try www.geneenroth.com. another resource is www.something-fishy.org. do NOT diet anymore - get out of the cycle. i finally did it, and i guarantee you - go through the process - and you can do it too. sending love.

First of all..your very small. And you probably here this everyday but you sound perfect the way you are. I've had problems in the past with under eating and over eating and what I find helps a lot is if I eat healthy and exercise. Espically exercising..it just makes you feel a lot happier and then results that you get make you feel really rewarded. Jogging and biking are my favorites. But yes it's very hard to overcome. You need to get yourself into a happier place because obviously something isn't right with what your surrounding yourself with.

I was diagnosed w/ anorexia and bulimia when I was 11 I started at 8,
at 14 I almost died. they had to put a tube in my nose to feed me very slowly.
So I went to residential treatment.
I am 16 now and I am healthy. I am mostly recovered.
I was by miricle that I did live.

dont do this. eating disorders are no fun/ as you already know. its impossible to live with one. I think youshould get some help before it gets too far.

You should seek help. Trying to stop the habits is great, but getting to the real problem that casued this is the more important thing. I am 5'2" and 120 pounds and I thought I was skinny. I wish you the best. Stay strong.
