Anorexia or bulemia really doesn't have a whole lot to do with food. It has to do with control.The fact that you are beginning to control the amount of food you take in is a fact that something in your life is out of YOUR control and you are having a tough time dealing with it.
A medical doctor isn't really a lot of help with this kind of situation. Talking to a councillor or a psychologist or psychiatrist will help you with this problem.
Doing something about it NOW is very important though. Feeling guilty about eating is, as you know, not right. We all need to have a sound diet that includes all of the food groups.
Do not worry about hurting the people around you by talking to them. If they love you, they will help you. The ones that make you feel bad about what you're doing really shouldn't matter. You may find that certain people will get upset but not AT you. They will be upset about the situation and feel helpless by not knowing what to do to HELP you.
Please, talk to someone you trust about this. If you don't start talking to someone, you're going to find that it will get harder and harder to talk as time goes on. This will get so out of control that you won't know who to turn to, and by then, you will be very sick.
You're worth being healthy and happy!!
PLEASE, PLEASE get some help.
Good luck love..

Hi Lil em what you are describing are symptoms of anorexia. Since you are not hrowing up you probably are not suffering rom bulemia. But telling family members will not make them feel bad if you present it in the way you have here. tell them that you need help and I am sure they will be eager to help you. Either way find a psychologist or a psychiatrist immediately, it is really dangerous to continue down this path and there is a lot of treatment that has been succesful. Good luck :)

definitely see your doctor if you have one.
If not, look in the yellow pages for a family doctor, then
call and ask the person who answers the phone if their
doctor can help with our problems. If not, they may
recommend one close by.
