RSSNot an eating disorder but still
I’m a 15 year old girl and I finally got the courage to tell my parents about my depression .
But I didn’t tell them about my efforts to purge, my desire to be thin and the fact that almost every day, I throw my lunch to the garbage when they can’t see.

You are only 15.. the real life is ahead of you! whatever it is you are depressed about, be honest to yourself and tell to someone whom you trust. don’t lose your life away! you need your strength! the energy! your body needs nutrients… and i know you know that. if you want to be thin, you can do it in a healthier way! try exercise… it works not only for your body but lifts up your mood! i did that and i smiled my way as i bust and sweat! it feels really good and i know you will too! eat in moderation. fruits, vegetables, meat, bread! if you are someone who is cautious, don’t deprive yourself!

learn to love yourself and everything else will fall into place. don’t abuse yourself just to please others. I know it sounds corny, but your parents love you and will help you.

It doesn’t sound like an eating disorder, but it most likely is the begging of one. But remember, EVERYTHING could be bad or harmful when you do it in excess. For example, going to de gym once or twice a week is healthy, but going four times a week is definitely NOT healthy. The same happens if you go on a diet. An excellent nutritionist told me that every portion you eat has to be about the size of your fist. I hope that helps.
As the other people said, your parents love you and will help you. Don’t be afraid to tell them. They will not think you are crazy or anything. Oh, and another thing: MOST EATING DISORDERS END BADLY! I don’t want you to freak out or anything. Another solution is going to a therapist. It really works out your problems! (Believe me, I go twice a wek!) Also, remember the food pyramid when it comes to eating.

Dont through away your lunch in the garbage, just feed it to some hungry child.
