who gives a fuck if you put on a bit of weight? if people around you have a problem with it they can go fuck themselves and obviously they don’t give a shit about you. the point of life is to be happy not spend it stressing about that pound you might have put on or those people who might be bothered by that. chances are everyone around you is too busy with their own insecurities to notice your weight anyway. just be happy, be whatever weight you want and fuck anyone who makes you feel bad about it. you’re beautiful for who you are, fuck the scales. take back your lives. eat a cheeseburger. enjoy it. be happy.
Q:i've forced myself to throw up only a few times, i haven't in the last two weeks but the feeling is always there. i've been so incredibly stressed about the things going on in my life, i don't know what to do. the image i have of my body is so twisted, i hate it. i'm always fearing gaining weight, i check the scale constantly. i'm scared i'm going to give into that feeling again. what should i do?

You need to find another way to deal with that stress. I know how hard it is, I understand - whenever I feel stressed and need to force myself to function normally I look to food to keep me sane (temporarily, at least). It’s not a long-term solution definitely.
Write, exercise, read, hang out with your friends, immerse yourself into your work to distract yourself from thinking about your body. But most importantly, let go of the things that make you feel sad or stressed up (you don’t need any of them, especially if it is another human being/human beings who are the source of your stress).
Be happy! Take care xo
Q:Hi. You're blog is really inspiring. So in the past two weeks, I have made myself throw up probably twice a week... but is this considered bulimic. I have always constantly thought about my weight, but I haven't really thrown up besides recently. I am a very very active athlete, hoping to play in college... but I do want to lose weight. Eating less for me is hard sometimes because of the amount of exercise I do. Am I bulimic...? I don't know what to do. Please help.
Contrary to what most people think, even if you don’t exhibit the physical signs of throwing up, there are other methods of bulimia: Excessive exercise…etc. and even thinking about throwing up isn’t healthy either. The thing about losing weight is that everyone wants to do it, but we have to accept that there is no easy way to it without harming the body. It may sound like rubbish advice but I think handling body image is all about accepting yourself.
You are a beautiful person with so much ahead of you. Stay strong xo
Q:So lately my mom has been telling me that I'm fat while my friends tell me I'm not. I really don't know what to think, but whenever I eat, I always feel extremely guilty afterwards. Often it kind of feels like I'm going to throw it back up just because I'm so disgusted with myself. I don't try, it just kind of comes up by itself. Sometimes, I try to not eat, but even then I just end up eating a crapload of food later and I get that throwup feeling again. Is there something wrong with me? xx

No that’s a pretty natural feeling. I think we feel guilty because, we know what we are doing is wrong/unnatural and the physical act of vomiting is disgusting. I don’t think restriction works as much because you spend all your time still thinking about food (or the lack thereof) and you just want to eat and eat and eat.
Stay strong and stay safe xo
I’m so sorry I have not been posting here for so long, but it’s been an incredibly busy time for me with school and my rather messed up personal life. It’s been a whirlwind of a month, and it hasn’t been easy being strong and I think I may be succumbing to a relapse. I think relapses are partially conscious decisions, yet partially out of our control.
Sometimes food feels like the only thing that keeps me sane enough to continue functioning.
Sometimes that catharsis feels like the only form of release I will ever get.
Sometimes, some times.

Q:Hey there, how long did it take you to lose your first 10 pounds? Please answer, I am quite interested in knowing. xo

Pretty long. About 7 to 8 months.
Q:Purging is a complete chore for me and it isn't getting easier. I'm looking at Ipecac to speed up the process but unable to find a store that supplies the stuff. And I don't feel comfortable buying medications from online. What would you recommend?
I wouldn’t recommend Ipecac at all because it can cause tearing in the esophagus or stomach lining, serious heart problems, seizures and even death. According to medical websites, you might feel chest pain, coughing or vomiting blood, dizziness, rapid or irregular heartbeat, seizures and loss of consciousness.
Instead, I would probably recommend taking more fluids before purging, and waiting 5-10 minutes after food (shorter/longer time makes it harder). Take care xo
Q:could you still be classed as bulimic even if you try to make yourself throw up, but can't?
No, technically you wouldn’t be considered as bulimic, but the very thought of wanting to throw up is bad enough, to me. I can empathize how being unable to throw up makes one feel even worse, because there is no form of release, no catharsis available. But know that things do get better, and live to see better days ahead. Don’t kill yourself slowly each and everyday with bulimia. Stay strong xo
Q:help please? i don't eat anything before dinner, when i eat with my family. (they make me) but i throw that up shortly after. would i be considered ana or mia? or both? or neither? thank you <3 and stay strong!

Both. Your caloric intake would be very low and purging would mean you retain very little food each day. But I would not advise purging if you don’t eat a lot because more stomach acid tends to be purged up, which erodes your oesophagus more easily. Take care too. You are strong xo
Q:I'm absolutely freaking out. I binged really bad, so I went in the shower and I threw it all up. It came up really fast and really strong, so it clogged the drain. I'm in college. The puke and water started going everywhere so I had to play it off as it just started coming up on me "some drunk kid must of puked last weekend" I don't know how believable it was but I just want to cry. Everyone was like omg it smells and who would do that and I'm just crumbling inside, I am a monster :(

You are not a monster, you are someone living in a world that is broken. But stay strong, please. Life is beautiful in spite of all the chaos of life. Remember that you are not alone, you can overcome the troubles and emerge a better person through your struggles. Take care xo
Q:Hi. The other day I was really upset and depressed so i ate loads and I felt really bad so I made myself throw it up. Since then my mind has been saying 'hmm maybe you should do it again' and stuff like that, it's like I've become addicted to it although I've only done it once. Is this common or is this just me?
Hello, this is a common step for people who veer towards bulimia but please stop while you still can, don’t listen to your brain. Purging is unhealthy and please trust me when I say that you’ll be putting yourself through sheer hell - all you’ll be able to think of all day is food and purging. Stay strong xo
