Personaly - annorexia and bulimia are about control. Its a head problem. You concentrate on weight, on how much water you take - myself I became obsessive with exercise.
Now I am disabled (RTA) and over weight. My best body time was late 30's, and that was cycling, swimming two or three times a day - eating healthily. If I say cycled 15 miles to visit a town down the coast, I could have a big bag of chips on the way back, and still lose a couple of pounds. My body weight at that time was heavier than when annorexic - but as I hadnt been starving, I didnt have that Belsen look - I looked fit and healthy.
What have I learnt? Be glad that your body works. I abused mine and am ashamed of it - at least it was working. Jump streams, climb trees - whatever you enjoy doing, do it because nothing is forever. Ride a horse or a motorbike whilst you can still get your leg over.
Oh yeah. If you are unhappy with the way you look - find a good hairdresser. Dont put your fingers down throat - although in the end you dont need to even do that - you can just hurl on demand. Puking eats your tooth enamel. Cleaning your teeth scrubs the acid into them. How good do you think you will look at your dream size if you have wee black stumpy teeth.
genuine girly - re the obese PE teacher - she was probably hired to fulfill the disabled equality malarky.
(Hey and for some reason I felt I had to edit and put in RTA in case people thought I was disabled because I was fat and not the other way around.)
