I'm so sorry to hear that you are struggling. :( Try to breathe, remind yourself that it was just ONE slice, and that it is ok. Your body needs the nutrients. Try to sit with it. Distract yourself if needed with music, going for a short walk, calling a friend, etc. I know it's hard to tolerate, but you can do it!
The fact that you're acknowleding that you have an eating problem, is a GREAT start. You're at a low weight already...are you restricting and purging? Have you talked with anyone about it? I hope you have a lot of support. It's also important to see your doctor to make sure that you're medically stable (they will need to do labs to check for electrolyte imbalances, etc) since you are purging. If you don't already have one, there are some really good therapists that specialize in treating eating disorders. A nutritionist and support group can be helpful too, but I'm not sure what you're comfortable with at this point.

The first part of solving the problem is admitting that you have a problem. I'm not about to lecture you on the detrimental effects you are doing to your body by throwing up to manage your weight, with the exception of one. Your body weight is ideal for your height, but by throwing up, you are getting rid of essential electrolytes such as potassium. Potassium is essential for the electrical activity in your heart. Electrical impulses causes the heart to contract and therefore distributing blood throughtout the entire body. If you deplete your body of potassium, your heart will eventually stop beating and when that happens, YOU WILL DIE. A beautiful looking body serves you no purpose in life when you are dead.
Again, solving the problem is first accomplished by admitting you have one. the second step with to actually want to get help. There are a number of places you can go for people with eating disorders. Refer to your yellow pages or the internet. You have a lot going for you...now go and do the right thing.
