Reply from Elaina, Age 14 - 12/19/03 - IP#: 203.12.167.xxx Hey, My name is Elaina, and I am 14 years old. I also have a slow metabolism, partly my fault, and party genetics. I have always been larger than all my friends, (I'm 60kg and 164 cm tall) and next year (although I have big thighs and stomach)I am going to do ballet. I already do figure skating and I love it. Last semester, I was so determined to lose weight, I wanted to be a champoin at ice skating, I was desperate, and I put self-worth down to weight (NOT a good Idea, your worth isn't how much you weight or what you look like, it's what you are inside) and started to starve myself. I would skip meals, and just say I was 'too sick' or 'too tired' or had 'to much homework'. I was pale, and I lost a whole heap of weight. Then my friends told my health/PE teacher. She kept asking me if I was ok, and one time, after almost fainting in PE class, she told me that she was going to call my parents if I didn't eat. I was terrified, because, (and I do love my parents very much) although they are big, "non-eating-disorder-people" they are always going on about my figure 'should you eat that', 'really Elaina, you should watch your figure' etc. It's gotten worse since I wanted to start Ballet, because mum wants me to be the perfect ballerina. Anyway, I did eat, and although I felt terrible, (the first few times, I threw up after eating) because I was giving into my body, and I was going to be 'fat' not thin and I so badly wanted to be thin. I do eat regular meals now, although sometimes the guilt comes back, so strong, I come close to throwing up. I know that I can't starve myself any longer, if my parents find out, then I will be made 'perfect' again. (that would mean eating when I don't want to, it's easier to eat then to keep hiding everything from the world) I have gained a lot of weight since I started to eat again. I do 3 hours of figure skating a week, 2 hours of Netball and I bounce on my trampoline at leat 1000 times each night. Both my parents are overweight and I want to be thinner, buit my metabolism is so stuffed, I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can lose weight, preferably by the 2nd of Feb????? I would really appreciate any help that people can offer, becuase I want to lose weight, I just don't want to have to starve myself to do it. Thanks, Elaina
