This is a serious question so PLEASE don't take it lightly or flag it !

Sadly I'm bulimic. I feel like this is taking over my whole life. I fat all the time and I binge and purge everyday. This is all I know and this is what I'm used to. People call me thin but I know they're just lying ! I never worried seriously about it before but now I do everyday. I don't want this to kill me but I think it will. I don't want to have a heart attack or for my teeth to decay. I exercise a lot but I feel that's not enough. I want to look good but I know I can't do that without my eating disorder. My best friend doesn't understand and I have my counselor but I don't think I'm ready to stop even though I really want this to end and go back to eating happily. Any advice please will help.

Looks don't matter.. You could be bigger than a cruise ship but as long as you're nice to me I'll be nice to you...

I'd rather be fat then die.

Do you have any idea what an eating disorder is like? She can't just stop. It's addictive. That's not how addictions work. You can't just quit when you don't want to do it anymore. You need serious help.

I suggest you tell your counselor everything you just wrote. It might help you make progress. And just remember, eating disorders don't go away by themselves. And they don't just go away like that. You're going to be in recovery the rest of your life. But remember, it'll be worth it. You can still look good and be healthy. I'm a recovered anorexic. So if you want to talk, I'm here.

The first step to stopping is admitting you have a problem. Have you tried talking to your parents? If unable to talk to them ask your best friend to help. Your counselor should also be able yo help you. Life is too precious to hurt yourself like that. Know that you are beautiful no matter what.

Please seek help. It's not healthy. I hope you will find someone professional that can help you. Best of luck. My daughter went through this. She wanted help and is doing great now.

Just keep telling yourself not to purge.
