be a size 0

this goal is stupidist fad ever to rise out of the celebrity world, but there is help, ive been a size 0 before but not because of the “image” but because ive had traumas with my family that caused me to stop eating. Anyone wanting to stop eating because they want to be thin because they think that it will make them a ‘model’ or so they can be like all the celebrities, you have a warped and perversed look on life. Ive tried the nice approach with people but im getting no where, im not giving up though, anorexia is an illness and if someone had a broken leg i wouldn’t stand back and watch them suffer. i’d help them recover untill they where fit and healthy and being a size 0 is not fit and healthy.

Anyone even slightly thinking, why am i doing this? or how to be confident without being ill, contact me please.

best wishes

i was a size 0 last year, felt great for a bit but then i realised that i’ve just ruined my life and was going to die if i continued.

I would like to warn any girl considering drastic weight loss of some of the side effects. I lost 3 stone in 2 months all of a sudden, after 2 years of very steady slow and healthy weight loss through good eating and sensible exercise (i went from 11.5 stone to under 6 stone).

After the years I got a condition called anorexia nervosa, you wont realise you have it untill you end up in hospital.I got depression, circularatory disease, kidney failure, hair loss, loss of periods, behavour disorders, no breasts (and cant get them back now as ive missed puberty due to lack of calories in teens), very slow heart rate, bad skin condition, tiredness, weakness, short of breath, no consentration and complete confusion. This happened when i was 16/17, I’ve just turned 18 now. It ruined my school life, relationships, and my family suffered for my stupidity.

Its fine you thinking ‘i wont get like that, i can control myself’...thats what i thought, the truth is you can’t control it once you get wrapped up in it because you don’t see what others see in you.

I used to look at pics of celebs looking awfully skinny and boney and saying ‘eww thats horrid! why do that too yourself!’ fact was that i looked exactly the same. I just couldnt see that, when i looked in the mirror i though i was still fat… i didnt see all of my bones jutting out of my skin.

This is a plead to girls straving themselves, please consider the consequences, get professional advice, eat healthly of course but enough to maintain your body, exercise properly and feel great about yourself. BUTPLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID, I’D TAKE IT BACK NOW IF I COULD.

Pretty pretty pretty please pay attention to this, this is all from experience, it will happen, your stronger than that, don’t do it please.

Good Luck, be healthy and enjoy your life,
