Do i have an eating disorder?

ever since i was 10, (i'm 13 now) i've constantly been working toward losing weight. i would constantly weight myself, keeping track of how much i lost, or how much i gained. if i gained, i would cut back on my eating a little bit, and exercising as much as i could. toward the end of 5th grade this slowed down a little bit...and i finally realized in the summer before 7th that i had gained more weight than i shouldve. i couldnt handle it. i constantlycompared myself to other girls my age, and i needed to lose weight. by this time i was 110 pounds, 13 years old. i confided slowly in some close friends, about wanting to lose weight and they shrugged off my comments...telling me i was one of the most beautiful girls they knew..and i was a perfect size...big boobs, flat stomach. right. sometimes the person i see in the mirror almost makes me sick. so about a month ago i started throwing up after desserts at dinner, about once a week when i felt i needed it. do i have an eating disorder?

I think you already know the answer.

Please go to an adult and explain your situation. Recognizing disordered eating is a big step and its very hard to fix things on your own.

I'm glad your asking about this and I believe that you are the beautiful girl your friends talk about. Your too young to worry about the number on the scale. Just live your life and keep off the scale for awhile.

If you feel bad about eating dessert, go to the gym or limit dessert to 3 times a week. Just whatever you do, stop purging. I have had 4 cavities from purging and its not fun.

Eating disorders are very deadly and not at all what the celebrities make them look like. Please get help.

Best of luck to you :)
