You are what is becoming the term a "wannarexic" and I'm sorry but people like you just annoy me.
I've been bulimic with anorexic tendencies for the past 5 years of my life and it's a horrible way to live. Nobody with this disease loves it or enjoys it. It's painful to count every calorie, to literally be terrified of food, to hate your body, to loathe your life, to live based on the scale, to spend hours exercising, to cry when you binge and can't purge, to have people constantly on you about your weight, to try and fill a hole in your life through food. How nothing is ever enough. Really, you're young and I encourage you to stop doing this before it's too late and you enter a world that grabs you and never lets you go.
You know what also hurts?
Being cold all the time. Being scared that you'll lose your teeth because guess what? Throwing up eats away at the enamel on your teeth leading to all sorts of problems, including tooth decay and teeth falling out. Yes, it's very attractive to have no teeth.
Having your hair start falling out Having stomach pain/cramps all the time Having no energy, wanting to stay in bed all day, losing your social life Feeling alone all the time Heart conditions Kidney problems Worrying each time you throw up that you'll esophagus will burst and your family will find your body collapsed, dead over a toilet full of puke (look up a video on You Tube of a forensic, real life bulimic who was found dead like this...the image is disturbing enough to maybe shake up your senses) The worst? Death...anorexia and bulimia are life threatening illnesses and it's so scary to go to bed each night wondering if you'll wake up the next day.
I'm sorry if I sound mean but this is the life of someone with an ED...it's not glamourous, it's not fun. It's hell.
If you continue to feel this way, get help before it's too late. Trust me when I say, you don't want this, it's not exciting. It's agony.
