Ht. 5'6, Wt. CW:172 G1:160 UG:145 - Okay I know this is really bad but lately I've become obsessed with looking at pro ana sites... I'm not anorexic but I think it might be getting out of hand, just today I spent 4 hours straight watching videos on youtube of anorexic girls talking about their disease and I'm disgusted but also I can't stop? It takes a lot of courage to post this as I'm kind of embarressed by it because I know it isn't normal. I want to stop but I can't... Yesterday I was babysitting and after the kids went to sleep I totally binged and ended up purging out of guilt. I know it's really bad for you, I know all the consequences, I totally regret it. I feel like if I hadn't looked at those sites it never would have happened... I don't know what to do. I'm really scared because it's ALL I think about all day long.

I think thats what started me looking at those sites... Lately I've found myself declining going out with friends to parties, dances whatever and end up sitting infront of the computer watching those videos on youtube and excetera. I know this is a bad sign so I called up my best friend today and we're going to see a movie and have lunch I'm contimplating telling her about it simply because I feel like maybe if someone in my material life (outside the net) was telling me not to look at those sites I might actually be able to stop. The last people I would tell is my parents because they would probably take away my computer... Anyways so far today I've had fruit with yogurt and granola for breakfast and a small vegitarian samosa for a snack. I've also done 1 hour of pilates so far today OMG THEYRE SO ADDICTIVE! anyways thanks again:)

Reply from Julie, Age 17 - 08/26/06 - IP#: 4.242.177.xxx You really need to stop. They are not good to be looking at. When I was bulimic, I spent a lot of time looking at them, and they just made my e.d. even worse. Maybe it would help if you stopped going online for a while, like a couple of weeks, unless it is strictly homework. That way you won't be tempted to look at them. After you have a handle on it, go back to using the net, but just make sure you don't get back into the habbit of looking at them.
