hi....... i dont want to feel out of place because i will tell you right now, i DONT have an eating disoreder, but i do want help. I'm use to everyone saying how skinny i am, and they still do, but i dont believe them anymore. I feel fat, but my mom says im not-everyone says im not. I'm so fed up with everyones opions, because they always say how stupid i am to think i'm fat. I havent weighed my self in a while because i'm afraid of what i'll find. So i just lie to people when they want to know my wieght-its none of their business anyway. I'm tall for my age, and getting taller. I'm afraid i'll get an eating disorder if i start dieting. Some days i WANT one, because it seems like an easy way to loose extra fat. I used to just be able to belive people, and believe that i'm skinny. I can pinch fat around my stuomach and it feels like a lot, my mom says if that wasnt theri than i would be stick skinny. I dont want an eating disorder, because i know what they do and they take over your life and you cant stop them, but i'm really confused. I usally dont eat breakfast, but last night i woke up STARVING at 2 in the morning, i stayed in bed until morning, still very hungry. I looked at food and i wasnt hungry anymore. I dont want to be turned off by food because i'm afraid that it will turn into an ed. Sometimes i think bulima is an easy way to loose extra pounds, but i have never thrown up food, and hopefully never will. I would go on a diet but i dont think i'm allowed, because im apperrently "skinny"
I dont know, im just really confused!

You may be surprised to know that most bulimics aren't skinny. Purging has to take place within a certain time frame in order to avoid absorbing calories, but in the end, calories are still absorbed regardless. Nutrients are not.

Also, you cannot 'get' anorexia. It is a serious mental disease that is often pre-existing, and is triggered by a traumatic event. My suggestion would be to talk to a therapist as soon as possible. It's likely that what you're feeling is being caused by other things happening in your life. At the very least, tell your doctor or parent or teacher what's going on. You don't want to continue down the road you're on.
