Have you ever experimented with staving or throwing up?

[Metric.]

Well, I have and it's not something I'm very proud of. When I was 12 we had this "game" and it was to see who could starve themselves the longest and at first not a lot of people took it serriously but then some people did and it got a bit out of hand.

I became quite good at this "game", I could starve myself for over 24 hours and a couple of times I fainted or came close to it. Then I started loosing weight and the whole thing got out of hand. I became underweight and people started to notice and they were like omg omg you're anorexic omg omg you are belemic and I was like yeah, I must be anorexic. A few other people had the same problem but they hid the fact they they were anorexic.

I was never classified as an anorexic or a belemic because I was very open about not eating and I didn't hide the fact that I starved myself, also I wasn't concious about what foods I ate and if they're was a good meal I enjoyed I had no problem with eating it. I just didn't have many of the little signs of an anorexic. I was also never classified as a belemic because I NEVER binged and purged my food and I had never even experimented with belemia.

I had to stop playing this awful "game" because by this point I was underweight and the doctor had noticed I had been loosing weight at a rapid pace and he told me that if I didn't start gaining weight he'd have me admitted to the hospital where I'd have a feeding tube put in. I didn't want that. So I gained about 20 pounds back in total and that was the end of that. I still can go for long periods without eating but when I do get to eat I don't really care what it is. I guess some anorexic's have trouble eating 20-30 years after treatment. I have no trouble eating today, execpt sometimes I skip a meal or two. The doctor said it was wierd.

Have you ever tried starving yourself or making yourself throwup?
P.S. If you aren't mature enough or if you are going to be stupid about this, don't post

Nope, I love my food, but not fat, yet.

I went through a stage when I though I was fat Lol.. even though I've always been skinny.. so I puked up after each meal for about 3 days.. but then I decided to stop because Mum found out Lol..

I am in year 10 now and when I was in year 9, I used to hang around with these two girls who were naturally thin. It was horrible being the 'fat one' of the group so I decided to go on a diet (this was around June 2005). But then whenever I ate anything they would be like 'are you eating that? I thought you were on a diet' and 'you know if you don't burn it off it turns to fat! Don't eat it!' so I stopped eating lunch at school.
Then in the 6 weeks holidays I went on a proper diet. I remember my dad bringing pizza and I promised I wouldn't eat any but I did so I threw it all up. Then I remember cutting down my meals more and more and exercising like crazy and its all kind of blurry after that. By the time I went into year 10 in September I was starving myself all the time.
Then I started eating more and throwing it up and I remember in October, all I would do was go to school, not eat, come home then eat and throw up all night. But I threw up so much that my body couldn't take it anymore and nothing would come up.

In total I've lost two stone. But I'll never be normal again.

I've starved myself, i still kind of do. I don't eat at school & when i get home the only thing i eat is my dinner. And i have to force that down.

I've only ever tried throwing up once, and that was to get off school, i've thought about eating then throwing up so people wouldn't get worried about me not eatting, but i don't think i could ever bring myself to do it again.

[sarey]

I starve myself quite alot to be honest..

Ive also made myself sick after i ate/drank alot, i lost quite alot of weight, but i put some back on because my mom was getting worried.
I dont make myself sick anymore, but i starve myself alot.
So.. yes to both questions.

Well, i just don't eat school lunch as i find i disgusting. So in a way no. I play alot of football and for boys if your chubby you usally stretch out during 13 - 21. Ahwell, although same with mentor when I eat my mum is like you eat so much but you don't get fat :s

[Badgez]

Nope, I've never really starved myself, but I've thought about it.. I'm only 12, and I'm about average, or about 5 pounds over average of my weight.. I don't mind being a little "bold" as I like to call myself, it gives me an advantage while fighting tall people
