weight loss

I'm no longer a teenager, but I have experienced an eating disorder since the age of 11 and received treatment during my teens.

I'm confused by the heading of this topic though...hope you're recovery is still going ok!

p.s. b-eat, the eating disorder charity have a specific under 18s recovery club which are all online. There are themed chats and open chats on there.

You have to register first, but it's completely free. Don't know if that helps.

Hi,

I am your age and have an eating disorder. If you want to talk you can!

Hi Holly! I am 18 and am about to talk to my daughter about binge eating disorder. For as long as I can remember I was always upset about my weight... the earliest I can remember is the age of 8 playing with my cousins and being mad that they were skinnier than I was. (Mind you i was never fat, just more muscular...not even chubby). However, I ate whatever I wanted and never had a problem with my weight just always wanted to be thinner but didn't care that much. Then in highschool I began exrcising and by my sophomore year I was doing every crash diet out there (slim fast, atkins, etc..). When I didn't get the results I wanted I became bulemic (but with laxatives.... it was awful) and I ate once a day and worked out for like 2 hours a day and was a dancer. My first year in college was this past year and I was able to keep my eating under control and I got very healthy. Took nutrition and exercise courses for my major and I was doing great, but then once a week I would have a cheat day and binge OUT OF CONTROL. Now it's summer and the binging occurs at least 4 times a week and I've been diagnosed with other medical issues. It's very hard right now but don't worry you're not alone! Hoping to get this figured out next week!
