You care about school and what you accomplished there. You seemed to be very proud of your achievment this year.

Envied for what? A skinny body? Or perhaps for a healthy, fit body and an extremely good mind.

Because I want to be different.

I find it interesting that so many young girls all want the same thing in order to be "different".

I also didn't know that proana postings were allowed on this site, or I wouldn't have recommended it to a younger friend of mine .

CRC I am sad to hear you say all that. Are you able to get any type of counseling? You are a human being and are worth far more than just the number of your waist line.

Two things:

1. Please seek out professional help. I would love to give you all the support/help I can, but I am not a trained professional and I am afraid I would do more harm than good. You need REAL HELP right now.
2. Please consider the triggering effect of your posting on other posters.

I want to clarify that 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet does not advocate, or allow anyone else to advocate, anorexia or bulimia as a "weight loss strategy." Any links to Pro-Ana type sites are deleted. That said, 3FC does not discourage open discussion of issues, as long as they do not turn into debate.

This has been an open discussion and it has offered many insights; but, I'm going to close the thread now before it turns into a debate. The original poster's issues have been addressed.

The Chicks in Control forum has as its focus eating disorders (ED) and those who have problems with them.
