Should I tell my mother?

[Anonymous]

i'm 15, and i'm trying to lose 60lbs. i am on a 500 calorie diet. yesterday i full out binged and got sad. so i decided to throw up all the 2000 calories i binged in such a small time which of course took me like a good ol' 40 minutes, lately my mother has not really been home, and im wondering if i should tell her im having a problem with my weight. so should i tell her? or keep this to myself? this was my first time throwing up my food, i usually just starve. does throwing up the food keep the calories i ate of my body as well? I've been dieting on and off for about 4 months and a bit last year and managed to keep off 30lbs. im not obese anymore which is good but im not where i wanna be tbh.

It's okay to want to lose weight, but it's important to do it in a healthy way. You're showing very real signs of an eating disorder, and the place you're in is dangerously unhealthy and very scary. If you don't seek treatment you could hurt yourself very seriously. Don't put off asking for help just because you still want to lose more weight; seeking treatment doesn't mean you can't still choose to lose weight in a healthy way if you want to. If you wait to ask for help, the best case scenario is that eventually your mom will notice that you're growing unhealthy and will seek treatment for you; the worst case scenario is that you will hurt yourself badly enough that it threatens your life. Please tell your mom what's going on and ask her to help you seek treatment.

Yes tell her... This is not good and it sounds like you have crossed that awful line of needing assistance.

I have been there, its an awful obsession and you need to get through this with help. 500 calories is NOT enough. Please increase to at least 1000 immediately

Do some exercise and never skip meals
Eat at least thrice a day

Yes you need to tell your mom and you need to stop that unhealthy behaviour today. It's an eating disorder or it will develop into one soon. Start eating healthy and exercise. Cutting calories to 500 everyday is really not good for your body and will, just like you experienced, make you likely to start binging. You need to nip it in the bud before it's too late, if it isn't already.

Whoooooooooooooa, why the fuck are you on a 500 calorie diet? Girl, you better go get a damn burger with bacon...

This is not okay. You need to tell your mom. You're going to hurt yourself!

Yes you should tell her. Especially if you're doing all that to yourself.

Yes, because you need treatment immediately.
