My Eating Disorder?



I am bulimic and I want to stop. The problem with me is I model and I'm doing soo well that if I stop, I might not do as well. The skinny the model, the more money they make. TRUST me, I know, its true. Most of the projects and ads I do they pick me and the other skinnest girls, and bigger girls don't get anything. I want to stop, but I don't want it to mke my career stop. I already exercise 2 hours a day but its not enough. Im just 116 and I could lose 6 more pounds. Help!

I was anorexic on and off, meaning to various degrees from about age 11 until I was thirty. What I know is that I and no one else can help you with this issue, becuase right now your career is more important to you then your health, your very life.

Why not become a hail raser and get other models to stop feeding the sicko system they are a part of. Get out of modeling, become someone who starts an organization that gets the public and women/men who model to say, we will no longer accept any model for modeling who is underweight, even a little. WHY do this. Because only someone in the industry will change the sicko behaviors in the industry. What they call big models, are 80% of the time NORMAL weight women, not over weight women.

Use your life to say, I will change my chosen career. I will fight companies that hire only thin models and I will get people in society to support me. I shouldn't have to destroy my health in order to produce for magazines, adds, etc. and image that has nothing to do with how real women look. An image that has a great deal to do with why so many teens and young women are willing to die to be thin.


I know you can change. You can stop vomiting, but you won't as long as you are more concerned with your career and keeping a selling image. I'm assuming you are at least five foot eight, or taller. So at 116, even if you had very tiny bones, you are at least 20 pounds under weight.

I'm suffering the consequences of my eating disorder and I've not been anorexic in over 12 years. Something people don't talk about is that those who starve, who vomit, even once they change, the longer they have been that way, the greater the reality that they will have poor bones by the time they are in their mid to late thirties. That they'll need canes and walkers by their fifties if not sooner. That they'll have all kinds of reproductive problems, never damage, heart problems and kidney problems.

When I stopped being anoreixic, it wasn't what the doctors said, as I have hudge bones. Even on X-rays a tech told me, you have large bones then most guys. So I never looked horribly anorexic unless someone saw me without clothing on. I never LOOKED IT, yet I now suffer from several health issues that starving on and off to various degrees for so long has left me with. I even ended up with Polyoverian Cystic Disease, that caused me to gain from 130 with was a good weight for me, to 170 in one month. I had no periods because of it until just two years ago. I have a huge goiter and several other problems. This disease is common in former anorexics and bulemics. I believe it's caused by damage to our endorcerine system; doctors are not sure what causes it. Anyway, now I'm fat becuase of that disease and I mean truly fat (240) and can't lose a pound even starving. I even starved a year ago for one month, not to be anorexic, but to prove to a doctor I really could not lose the weight. After one month, I had not even lost one pound. I am a diabetic and I have neuropathy. They know that neuropathy is common in former anorexics and bulemics, not just diabetics. WHY? Because the food needed to provide the building blocks to the nerves and the nerve covering is the first to go when a person begins to starve, which is healthy fats and berries. Some other foods contain in small amounts these neutrients, but not enough. You don't want Neuropathy, it's a living death. You burn, like a real burn to your skin, all the time.

You have to chose in the end. Being a model in an industry that doesn't give a damn about you or if you die tomorrow. Your you chose your health, and you go be a big model if needed and then you fight with all your heart the make companies agree to hire for shoots only models who are not underweight for their body build.

Who knows, maybe Heavenly Father gave you this challenge to see if you'd make the choice to rise above it and maybe you were sent to Earth for this very thing, to cchange a sicko industry and lead them into the future where women with real bodies and health are promoted, instead of unrealistic images that only encourage others to starve.

When you are ready to change, let me tell you what doctors won't even tell you. Those who really over come eating disorders, finally say to them selves. Enough is enough and no manner how I feel, or what I think about myself, I will eat normally and I will take care of my body. When I stopped being anorexic, I did it in one day. I literally ask heavenly Father to help me, as I knew I could never do it on my own. Then I just refused to ever starve and other then when I showed doctors I really can't lose even a pound, I have not allowed myself to chose starvation. I also quit being a cutter the same day and have never gone back to that either. It's not that I'm strong, it's that I said to myself no more, no more destroying my body over emotional things. I'd never have succeeded if Heavenly Father hadn't helped me.

You can succeed as well when you are ready, when you life is worth more then your career.

Good luck!
Speaking with your doctor can make your life get back on the right track again. It's better to get it treated now then waiting and leaving the treatment longer.
Stop!!!!!!! U could be really hurting your self is it really worth geting the photo spread if your killing your self Get help!!
and good luck
Honestly.. most guys dont like real skinny models.. because it's not hard to know what they do to stay skinny.. kind of gross. Anyways.. if your already skinny you don't want to lose 6 more pounds.. thats really bad for your health. If you have a little bit of body fat then just keep on doing cardio and eat really healthy untill you lose the 6 pounds, then just eat semi healthy to keep your weight at that.
why don't you get out from you're modeling career for a while?!?
Is your modeling career worth dying for?

** If you don't care and you're not going to quit, then why worry about it. Just pop a few laxatives and get over it! Here we are trying to help and you don't want it. Stop wasting our time. **
