Im Bullimic And iHate It Wen People Tell Me iLook Fine.. I Feel As If Theyre Juxx Saying It Kus They Think Thats Wut iWanna Hear.. Its Like You Get Happy For A quick Second Thinking "Maybe iReally Am Pretty" But Then Your Mind Kicks In And Says "Theyre Lieing Tu You.. They Think Your So Ugly. You Dont Deserve To Eat.. Look In The Mirror.. The Mirror Doesnt Lie.. Your So Fat"

Thats How It Feels

[bekbek93]

they're not lying. they love u just the way u are. and the truth is that the thinner u get, the uglier u get. so if u wanna get comments saying how good u look, then just eat. i know it's a lot harder. but trust them, they wudn't lie about that x

i think my friend is going down this horrible road. the sad thing is is that this has been going on for some time now, i just started realziing it before july and me and our other close freinds feel helpless againest this because no matter how much we tell her she is prefect and skiny the words dont sink in. around 5 ft and 80 some pounds, its scary

[bekbek93]

just support her, you can't do anymore. my friend is recovering, i think. so there is hope. if u eva wanna chat, i'm here.

When I'm at school it's easy to deny the food. I use the excuses I dont feel well I ate a big breakfast or I'm not hungry . They tell me to at least eat a little.

Im Sorry It Took Me So Long To Repy.. Ive Never Quite Understood Why Everyone Else Can Look At Me &Say iLook Beautiful The Way iAm Either.. But iFound This Book &i Am Currently Reading It.. It Is Called Wasted By Marya Hornbacher.. Its A Memoir Of Her Life Being Bulumic At The Age Of 9, &Then She Was Anorexic At 15. &It May Be Boring At The Start But What She Says Is So True.. Im Glad Tu Kno That Im Not Alone.. Thanx

@PainFromBeauty15 i feel like u. i always go "i cant eat cuz my stomic hurts" and they go u look so skinny and i think.....if i am then y do i feel like crap

[bekbek93]

i know u wanna be a loyal and good friend but believe me - it's best to tell on her so that she can really get better. She may not like it at the beginning but in the end she'll thank u for it. Support her, that's the best thing you can do for her. Good luck x
