Ht. 5' 4", Wt. 172 - Okay so today so far I have only eaten the two peices of cake that I ate while sleep walking. In a way I feel hungry but at teh same time I feel like if I eat anything I will get huge and even if I don't get huge I don't want to not lose weight. I want to lose weight but it seems like lately all I have been doing is eating and gaining weight. My whole family is worried that I have an eating disorder (anerexia). I don't think that I do I just know that I am overweight and that I need to lose the weight for both health and self esteem issues. What should I do if I end up having a eating disorder...I have almost all of the early symptoms... I need help, like a self esteem boost would be nice... I just need help -Allie

I can't eat because I'm punishing myself, but then I eat more healthy in the day than I exercise, then I feel good. Maybe it's just a phase, but I'm sure your not anorexic
Reply from Emmie, Age 13 - 06/23/06 - IP#: 24.140.12.xxx Hey, girlie. I know firsthand how awful anorexia is. I started with my bad body image at age seven. AT 7 I had my first diet (I only ate Cherrios and turkey). By eleven I felt so fat I decided to lose the weight. I started off dieting healthy... no junk food. Then I started taking things out of my diet. And the more foods I took out of my diet, the more weight I lost. When I finally went to the hospital for my eating disorder I was standing at 5'4 and weighed 80 pounds. I have had eating problems and disorders (anorexia, bulimia, and BDD) for two years now. I still can say I am in rehab. Its hard to get off the eating disorder path once you find yourself suffering. As an anorexic and a bulimic, I can tell you how unfun obsessing is. There isn't one second of the day I don't think about food. Be a healthy eater to avoid what happened to me. Being thin is an advantage of anorexia, yes, but do you think its worth hurting your body, your family, your friends and dying young? I can basically say goodbye to a long life because I was starved for so long my body ate itself. A woman, actually, died in 1990 because of anorexia. Her starved body ate herself up... causing her to go blind because the her body ate the part of her brain that helped her to see. You cant change the fact that you ate cake. Move on and eat healthy all day. I hope I have helped. Loves, Emmie

Make a list of 10 things you like about yourself and make them real things!! Also eating speeds up your metabilism. If your going feel guilty eating eat veggies because if you don't eat you are going to get hungry and over eat on something you like....like say cake!! And if your not eating that might have something to do with why you ate cake while you were sleep walking. Try eating a veggy or fruit before you go to bed and it will probably keep you from eating during sleep walking.
