Question

um... i'm fourteen and i'm a ballet dancer/ model. All my life my mom has told me i am fat... I'm 5 foot 9 inchs and currently weigh 96 pounds because i am bulimic. I don't know what to do!! I know being bulimic is dangerous but all of a sudden i'm getting more modeling jobs and am becoming a better dancer. The only thing is that my mom still freaks about how i look...

I don't know what should i do??

K.... forgot to add.... my mom is 5feet 7 inches and weighs 135 pounds so she is normal weight

Answer 1

How an earth is eating going to help you if you have bullimia? That is a crazy thing to say when that is what the problem is centred around. I mean it is not an answer because it hasn't told you how you can eat so that you don't feel impelled to get rid of it. You need to regain a sense of control over your life and clear up the things in your mind that make you feel this way. You need to get a sense of self worth and comfort and safety in who you are. You could take note of what triggers you to throw up. If you see the warning of what you are eating before you eat it you could hold off from eating it until you were in a frame of mind where it wasn't threatening you. You have to get your mum's voice out of your head and evaluate for yourself what weight you feel comfortable and how you can maintain it. Bullimia won't help in the long run as it steals your looks, your confidance and your ability to dance. Maybe if you had some activity after a meal that would absorb you and take your mind off eating and food it would help. It is better not to go to a doctor, It is better to go to a sport psychologist or someone specially equipped to deal with these disorders.

Answer 2

First of all, what does your mother look like? Unless she weighs 95lbs she has alot of nerve calling you fat doesnt she? The first thing you need to do is stop listening to your mother. Bulimia is extremley dangerous and it can kill you if you dont stop. Next see a doctor. They will be able to help you get on a healthy diet that will get you to a healthy wieght. Again Im going to say STOP listening to your mother! Family is important, but not when they are hurting you like your mother clearly is. I think the best thing for you to do is see a doctor. And you can gain weight and still look good enough to have a modeling career.

Answer 3

This is very very serious!!! Your mother for one needs to lay off. I would call your family doctor and if I was you, I would not tell your mother until after you see the doctor. The doctor will help you. He/She will either depending on severity put you in a hospital for surveillance or direct you to a support group in your area. Here you can speak to girls/boys that have the same problems. After you speak to your doctor, your doctor will speak w/ your mother about the effects her negativity is having on you. If she doesn't change her ways, you will have the support group to reinforce that you are a young, inspiring, beautiful person. I don't think it is because you are so light that you are doing better, I think you are just driven to succeed for your mothers approval.

Answer 4

96 pounds is not fat for a 5 foot 9 girl.

Go see a doctor.

Answer 5

You need to see a doctor ASAP as this is serious and can cause permanent health problems or even death if not treated. Tell your mom you need to see the doc for any reason you want to tell her but get help NOW.
