Many people out there have been bulimic and anorexic once in their life .. both guys and girls.
If you'd like to share your stories of how you were one and recovered, please feel free to share.

As for me I used to be both.

I used to be 5'4" and was 115 lbs. Then I became bulimic.
I would do it every day for a month and a half until I thought ..
Why am I such a pig? I should eat less.
Then from there I become anorexic.
I went from 115 lbs to 90 lbs in 3 months.
My boyfriend saw what I was doing to myself and tried to tell me it was wrong.
But I ignored him because I'm so stubborn-headed.
So he did exactly what I did.
He's 5'7" and was 140 lbs but went down to 120 lbs in two months.
I looked at him and saw how horrible he looked, so I promised him that if he would recover I would also.
Now I'm 5'4" and around 105 lbs and hes back to his 135 lbs.

I still sometimes feel fat and complain about it, but when I see all those people out there who actually have died from what I did, I feel sorry and that there was a reason why I had healed.
Also, back then when I was really skinny i used to be snappy and drove all my friends away.
Now with this healthy weight I've made more friends and everything is happily ever after

[sushiwhore]

your bf was so sweet ><

i suffered it the summer of my 7th grade year and was annerexic for a year. i became addicted to working out. over the summer i only ate corn, became addicted to diet pills and i worked out around 6-8 hours

i found my self waking up doing crunches because i dreamed about it when i was sleeping o_o


i lost quite a bit of weight 160-170---> 90-100 o_o alot T_T people asked me waht i did and i just kinda brushed it off o_o heh

[Yui.]

[khmer_chick2010]

I don't have a story, but I just had to say that it's really
sweet and cute what your boyfriend did (he did it for you, right?)
and that you two recovered together. I'm really happy to hear
that you're doing well now ^^ Take care of yourself!

[kawaii88]

yeh!! i think i became anorexic well nearly! i jus ate soo little... was weak and sometimes i felt like i was going to faint, where everything around me was spinning... was a gym junkie, ppl told me i wasnt fat... but wot i see in the mirror,.. i saw fat hanging... so it made me eat less n less... but then i got fat so its ok now...but wish i lost the weight...

p.s its soo cte how ur bf did!!! hai....wish i had a bf like that!

[o1_b4by]

I've experienced anorexia and obsessive compulsive eating. Both are really bad

[Panda-asian*]

Lol, to all your guys replies:

* Anorexia and bulimic can often make you really tired, even faint at times (which happened to me). Don't believe the media that skinny is good. If you check it out, Japan is actually having theigh .. omg iono how to spell it .. and butt implants because guys over there apparently want a girl with a little meat.

** Yes my boyfriend <i>may</i> appear to be sweet but sometimes he can be an as*hole .. but right now he's on the sweet side lol.

[tinil-galia]

I was kind of anorexic (mildly?) when I was 11-12.
I started to get "YOU ARE SO SKINNY!!" from my relatives whom I see once a year.

But it wasn't on purpose.
I knew I sucked at sports. Running a little makes me breathe really hard. & Now I know why.
I ate very little because none of the food in school appeal to me. I usually ate a packet of biscuits and that's it until I get home. O_O & my Mom rarely cook cause we complain that she always cooked the same thing.
So I was about 50kg at 163cm. I think I have heavy bones. I just saw my old photos, I looked deadly thin.
& the thing is, I didn't even care about my figure.

Since I was 13, I started eating more and that made me gain a little weight.
But I still did not care about my figure.

Last year, at 15, I started being obsessive about my weight. So I tried eating less but I couldn't stand being hungry.
Failed diets = more weight gain.
My fattest is when I was 63kg. That's when my parents started telling me to lose weight.
So, I decided to stop being lazy and exercise. I lost 5kg since this January.
Now I'm 58kg and I'm 168cm.

Still trying to lose weight... all for vanity.

BTW, anorexia & bulimia never crossed my mind when it comes to losing weight.

[miyavidoll]

It was quite different in my case...

I looked anorexic to start with and I tried a lot of gain weight..
I dreamed of getting fat to be exact.

I found out.. that the reason why I used to be so skinny was because I ate slowly...
now I eat like a pig..

But your boyfriend is so sweet

[MANGO☆MELON]

I dropped 20 lbs in one month back in 8th grade which was in no way healthy
I've always been kinda "thick" and from time to time it bothers me
But it's like my body wont loose anymore so I just give in and eat whatever
Lately I've gained 10 more lbs and hope to loose that
It sucks because I'm so prone to gaining weight even though I play sports and exercise.

[robotomy]

Mine was different. I stopped eating due to stomach aches. Every night I would get one so I would eat one meal a day and I would hardly touch my food. In two weeks I lost 10 pounds. My mom took me to the doctor and they told me to eat all three meals to regain my energy and to work out and everything but to this day I'm still having problems with eating but I'm getting better so I'm happy.

You have such a sweet boyfriend!

[RussianButterfly]

I got Anorexia, when I was around the age of 13.

My parents started fighting,
I got into a class where I didn't knew anybody and they started bullying me because I was one of the top students in my school (nerd I guess..)
plus, I was going through puberty.
Things were changing, people were leaving me behind, I couldn't cope with it.
Which was new to me, cause I'm quite the perfectionist.

I can't remember much of the way I acted back then, and what happend those years...
People around my tell me that I was very cold, and a real pinkberry to anyone.
The only thing I remember doing in those years, was counting calories in bed of the things I was going to have to eat the next day and ways to avoid eating.


I had a break down at the age of 15/16, and I admitted to myself that I had a problem (no period for 2 years, fainting, hair falling out, other hair growing...., etc)
I had to pick between "solving" the problem at home or going to a clinic.
I picked home, because I was scared they would keep me in a clinic till I was obese or something...



because I had to eat a lot to gain weight, I got used to eating that much and I started binge eating.
I didn't knew this at the start, because people were encouraging me to eat and since I was still very thin it didn't had any negative effects.

so now, I'm totally messed up.
I'm still suffering from anorexia, I don't eat pie, cheese, fries, pizza's, candy, ice cream, etc...
But every now and than I binge eat.

ain't that awesome?
I'm struggling with these two extremes, and I'm freaking scared.
right now, I can't fit in most of my pants because of my recent binges...
I'm starting to wish they never made me "recover" from anorexia, and that isn't a good thing.

[touche`]

Although I never been through Anorexia and bulimic, my story is familiar to miyavidoll. I would look anorexia and I was underweight. I went from 82 lbs to 86 lbs (over the summer) and now, I'm 90 lbs. So, I've gained quite a few pounds, which I am very happy. But keep it up because we all struggle to be "perfect" or healthy.

[makelovenoises]

I'm in the that zone yet,
i'm 78lb and is a 15 year old 5'1" feet
though i'm trying to gain, well i neer thought of myself as fat or anything
I think its from the genes,
I'm a big pig according to my friends, i love food <3

okay off topic, sorry.

[maharu.]

I'm glad you're back in track and you look beautiful, Panda-asian* =]

Well for me, instead of losing weight, I GAINED weight for a good reason. I used to be 96 lbs, 2nd skinniest in my middle school class.
I just refused to eat. It's not like I knew anything about being thin is good or anything, I just didn't like to eat. I was a REALLY picky girl.
So, once when I went to the doctor, I was told I'm underweight and totally malnutrition because no matter how much my parents tried, I would take so long to eat lol.
But I started gaining slowly because I was embarrassed to eat my sacked lunch at school for some reason and ate twice at home ^^;;

But I lost all my skinniness when I discovered how it feels good to eat. When I went back to Japan, there was nothing to do.
So I travelled to the seven eleven and..bought a sandwich and a riceball and many other foods... I did that for the few days I was with my grandma.
I ate 5 times a day and...REALLY gained weight. I became 60kg with unhealthy fat on my face. I was called fat, ridiculed for how I looked, clothes didn't fit me...
But i went back to America and stopped eating sweets and I became natural again. I didn't really lose the pounds, just the unhealthy weight.

I'm 60 kgs now but considering its an ideal weight for my height (156 cm) and I walk and swim and don't lean towards junk food, I feel healthy now.
I don't care about skinniness...if the person's healthy and happy, I think thats more important that how thin you are.

[suzic87]

I've personally have never been anorexic or bulimic, however i have tendencies where I feel i'm fat and i would like not eat, but it never works out because i think i have obsessive compulsive eating, as i never stop eating even when i'm full. Like the other day I brought 3 packet of biscuits which probably equated to over 3000 calories and i just sat at home eating the whole lot. I wasn't even hungry it was just the fact that i knew they were in my cupboard but then that makes me feel bad so i would starve myself till dinner the next day. so its bad that one day i binge and another I starve. i think its because some days i just think screw the weight whats the point and then others i have like my parents voices in my head and other family members saying i'm fat on top of that what we are being fed through the media.

so in conclusion, once i eat i can't stop that's why i tend to not eat, i guess its to do with my mental psychological side of things for me

[ZIPzoomZAP]

Last year I was kinnnddd addicted.
at one point i was about 100 lbs at 5'7 which may not soudn that bad to some people but i think it was pretty bad.
i didnt eat fats or carbs. i found myself only eating 300 calories a day. I would only eat tofu and soy crisps ><
and occassionally fish

i almost cried when my mom made me drink juicee

oncei ate 2 bagels and then i like walked 4 miles

and i was also in softball

well im glad thats over with, but i wish i didnt gain all the weight back

[Panda-asian*]

Lmao in a way I see a pattern ..

Mostly those who try to lose weight through anorexia and bulemia are trying to acheive perfection. I know it sounds weird but it happened to me also.

I wanted to be perfect, have the perfect grades, the perfect looks, the perfect body .. I was trying to be above the rest.
Sadly though, that is NOT the way to achieve perfection because there's no such thing.


* Congrats to all of you who've recover! Doesn't it feel better now that you have energy to do so many things than when you were skinny and tireless?

[Kazunomiya]

Er... I haven't exactly gotten over my eating problem. I know I have a problem, and that's the first step, I suppose. I'm anorexic. I eat a max of 700 calories a day, and that's absolute maximum.. I try to eat more, I really do. But then I see a mirror or something, and just go, "You fat pig, quit eating! You're getting fatter with every single bite." And I can't handle it. All this other crap has been going on in my life, it's so chaotic and hectic right now, it's not even funny. I can't deal with so much, and it's making everything amplified. I have so many ups and downs.. I know I need help, and I want it, but I don't, knowing it means I'll never be my ideal of thin. T_T

[Yui.]

i do agree. =x currently i'm very tired. there are days i eat alot and days i eat very little.

=X again, b/c of school.
