Newest Review: ... where the rapid weight loss begins to show as your cheeks become tight across your facce no longer having a nice normal shaped face, you generally become a living skelinigton after a while. Also with bullemia you become malnurished and this mixed with te living skelington issue is a one way trip straight to ICU. Personally i've experienced both problems with my weight I.e i didn't feel happy ... more

 ... with the weight i was, and i had felt the negative pronging of a teenage society calling me fat. Well it's no wonder that my mum and dad thought i was anorexic; i wasn't eating right and i was coming home almost in tears everyday. I'm okay now though ...more

In our society it's so common that women HAVE to be skinny, i'm sure most girls have at one point in their lives been called fat (even by a loved one) and it hurts, it hurts way more than anything else in the world because of the simple fact that well girls are particularly sensitive about thier weight;but the truth is if you do get called fat then most of the time people are only covering up something that they wish to hide, so it shouldn't hurt as much as it does. **eating disorders** It's kinda hard to say your definatly anorexic or bulemic or whatever unless it gets to the point where the rapid weight loss begins to show as your cheeks become tight across ...

I suffered with eating disorder when I was around 10years old, therefore I did not know it was actually a problem forcing my self not to eat (I was just a baby lol). What caused me to stop eating?? Well I grew up with my grand-mother instead of my mother. So I was very spoilt indeed in terms of food. My grand-mother never used to give us a packed lunch when going to school. She always used to give us some money. Therefore, when I was at school I used to buy all my favourites foods. That includes bags and bags of sweets, crisp, ...
