Ever since I was 13 I have had a screwed up relationship with food.
My sister is younger than me, taller than me and a natural size zero.
I am 5’4 and a size 6
I am constantly compared to her. I have always been the fat one in the group. I am always looked down upon.
I wish people knew that I have been bulimic since I was 14. I can’t be home by myself without eating constantly and throwing up. Sometimes up to 3 times a day. I told the docter and she laughed at me. Apparntly I don’t look bulimic.
If only they knew I was that girl who goes to the gym for two hours, binges on protein bars and throws it up in the gym toilets.
go to a better doctor. Thats messed up that they dont believe you i know that must be so stressful having no1 believe you… Find programs, find people- who will listen. :)
I know it probably doesn’t help, but I would love to be your size: I’m 5’3″ and a size 14 (on a good day). I’ve been bulemic too (well, you’re never really cured, but I don’t do it anymore). Get some help. And don’t compare yourself to your skeletal sister. Does her size zero make her happy?
You don’t have to go through this alone.
If your doctor won’t listen to you (and he/she is an idiot for it!) then you need to find a doctor who does. Even if you have to go to a specialist clinic or hospital that deals with eating disorders it’s worth it.
You are worth more than this. You need to help yourself.
You deserve better than this. Bulimia is no joke and if people don’t believe you when you say you need help, tell them to go take a hike
exactly what they all said………nothing pisses me off more than this sort off thing, my wife grew up this way too, and I grow so tired of her talking herself down about being ‘fat’…(she is absolutly beautiful)….i dread my girls growing up thinking that they have to look like barbies or some bullshit like that….find a better doctor, you got a bad one, there are many of them, and get people who will listen……..you are a person, we are all people, none of us perfect by far…..
Everyone here is right on the money. I can’t say that I understand what you are going through because I have had to deal with exactly the same problems but I can tell you this you should find a real Doctor who will listen to you and help you, and though this is easier said try to stop comparing yourself to your sister or anyone else. There are people who will like you for you no mater what. This I do know because I am between 350 and 400lbs and I have the most beautiful wife who is a size 8 and she loves me for me though she does worry about my weight and will help me any way she can I was big when we met and she still married me, so don’t let anyone tell you that no one would want you our that you should change for anyone! If you want to change your life do it for yourself and no one else!!!!!!!!
Aww, haha cool, I’m glad that you found happiness. :) What matters most is on the inside. :)
That’s terrible, I’m very sorry. I think this world judges people by their looks far too much. You sound like a kind, wonderful person, but the world dosn’t see that, because they are too busy judging you by whats on the outside, rather than loving you for whats inside. I’m anorexic, I feel your pain. Your doctor sucks, how dare she laugh at you for a serious problem, you should get a better docter. Good luck. :)
