How I did it: i started halfway through yr 8. i just stopped eating i didn have a reason or one i understood i just stopped, a friend made me buy a sandwhich everyday and eat a little bit. she built it up so by the end of yr 8 i was almost eating normally. it turned out that this was how i dealt with personal crisis and my familys bad reaction to my trying to tell them i wfas bi is how it started.

for the next two years i suffered on and off and by the middle of year 10 it was the worst lept secret among my friends more of whom knew then i wanted to admit. so once again a friend came to the rescue, at first it was simply making sure i ate and kept it down. but by the end of year 10 they were sick of my relapses and decided to drag it into the relm of adults. they tried to force me to tell a teacher.

it was their faces that gave me that epiphany. as i looked at each at them i saw the strain id caused them, the worry, shock and eventual disappointment.

i disappointed them that day, i didnt tell the teacher but i promised myself and secretly them that i would stop.

Lessons & tips: start with small things reintroduce them to your system
get through each single and if you slip up dont ounish yourself simply say - il try harder
tell someone get them to help you give them permission to interviene
buy a top or a pair of pants and say il fit into them one day il put on some healthy weight
pick a good weight and a bad weight - if you reach the bad weight tell your friends you need proper help - if you reach the good weight celebrate with your friends and use that weight as the next step not to fall beneath

Resources: the best resources are your friends and your self worth

your friends can help a lot

your self worth should tell you - i deserve better
