Answers:
Erm!.!.thats a hard question!.!.My friend had anorexia and she went to a clinic for it!. Its best to tell someone and get help quick!. As well as that, you might want to throw away the ipecac, because having them there and available makes it worse!. I can tell you now, you aren't overweight, because I'm 15, and I am about the same height!. I'm only 11 pounds less than you and even then, I'm considered underweight, for my age, so imagine what it would be like for you!. What you have to do is:
Do not compare yourself to other people (unless it's in a good way!. For example my friend told me her weight and I explained to her that it was under my weight, and as she saw me as how she wanted to be, she realised she had gone too far, although it took a while - she didn't believe me at first)
Remind yourself that you are damaging your body (my friend has lost her fertility because of anorexia) This will give you an incentive
Go to the supermarket, and pick out something that looks tasty!. Ask someone else to pick it up and pay for it for you, so you don't see what the calorie content and fat content of it is!. Go home and eat it and enjoy it!. Do this with different foods and learn to enjoy food without worrying whats in it!.
Throw away the ipecac
Don't weigh yourself constantly
Tell someone
Remind yourself you are not overweight, and many people would agree with that!. You are harming your body like you would do if you were fat and so its just as bad!. Gaining weight is good!. (you might want to put these reminders around your house)
Don't feel guilty when you think you have eaten too much or binged!. You have only binged when you have eaten when you weren't hungry!.
Hope this helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com
