Looking back I have probably had eating disorderness (is that a word? lol) for quite a few years now, but it was this year that the constant dieting became restricting. I have always been overweight, so being on diets/off diets all the time was a part of my life, now I'm just constantly restricting *sighs*.

I was 12 - they weighed us in gym class and I was 104 pounds. I thought I'd die right there. All the "cool popular pretty people" were like 85 pounds and complaining. I was 104 and about to shoot myself. I became a vegetarian and lost to 94 by the time I was 13...and my goal weight is STILL 85. Except I'm taller now so I don't know how easy it will be.

I had problems with my body and food from the age of about 10 but only started losing weight when I was about 15. Wasn't a conscious decision, had alot of stress with exames and stuff, when I am stressed my appetite goes, continued after exames and one day just realized I was in too deep and could get out. In there ever sence.

ive read magazines since i was about 11, and was always shown images of perfect celebs, but i think eating disorderness (yesh that is now a word) came in the form of over eating first, because my sister over ate alot, but she stayed slim, whereas i put on loadsa weight.
But my habits had started early, so rather than stop the eatin, i started to be sick after binging.
Then, actually one year this coming saturday, is the start date of ana, because i had got with ben for the first time, then later that day he rejected me, and i was gutted, so i stopped eating to control my self!
Been mia longer but feel better doin ana

p.s, ben is the love of my life btw, you will see it reflected in most of my posts, hes my thinspiration, my soul mate. hes the one for definite! altho he likes me, he hurts me so much, and i cant let go. I have a boyf, but still love ben so much it hurts. Every time i see ben, i get butterflys, im jus besotted with him, but not stalker crazy lol, i can draw the line.

p.p.s, my sister is perfect in my mums eyes, and my sister can eat loads and stay slim, whereas i cant. My mum buys loadsa fatty food to keep my sister happy, who can eat junk food and not put on weight. That is why i dont have a strong relationship wth my mum and im ever so jealous of my sister.

I was like seriously young. I used to think I was a compulsive eater but I now realise that I always kept it under 1500cals (now it's -300). So I was like 8.

Well thinking about I've had issues with food as long as I can remember. I'm 16 now and I'm going back to Ana because I was happy when I was. I'm 5 foot 3 and about 107 pounds and I feel like I want to shoot myself in the face because it is so disgusting and I'm a fat cow. My long term goal weight is 85 but for short term it's 95. The highest weight I've been was 115 and I felt so disgusting. I really want to reach my goal!!!!

Thank God I have this ugly fat body for which to focus on and hate and spend all my time trying to fix, change, lessen. Thank God for exercise machines, and diet pills. Thank God for weightloss. Thank God I can try and fix the outside because I just know that the inside is beyond repair.

I was roughly sixteen. I didn't even do it to lose weight at first. I was just depressed and didn't eat. When I realized I had lost weight and when people noticed me and complimented me I was like, "Score. I'm not worthless if I'm thin." It just kind of grew from there.
