Believe it or not,
your being pressured into being anorexic and not knowing it.
Often, when your sourrounded by friends doing similar things, you end up falling into it to. For example;
All 6 of your friends start saying the word "stoked" all the time.
Eventually, after a week of them saying this word constantly, you start doing it too, not knowing it.
All i can say is that your NOT anorexic, and you just want to fit in.
Your beautiful the way you are, dont even bother thinking differently. You have friends and family who love you to pieces.
Try talking to the school counceler about this, she can help you erase these thoughts and feelings, and before you know it, you'll be laughing at the thought you even thought this was the case. If you ever need a shoulder to cry on, or advice, and you cant bring up the nerve talkin to family, you can even find support on the internet, or chat rooms. Even try emailing me :)

look babe, you are so lucky to be healthy and having a happy family life. You seem like the kind of person that thinks alot and don't get me wrong- that is a good thing in some aspects of life but you need to calm down. Try to tell someone about how you feel- not someone that will judge you or tell anyone else, maybe just a close friend who cares about you. Try not to talk about it with people that have suffered with anorexia because it might upset them even if they dont show it. Talk to a friend please. Lots of Love x- Dont worry xx
i can answer this question personally because when i was a younger teen i had a mixture of anorexia and also body image disorders. i remember when i was trying to get better it felt like giving up..like dropping something i had invested my entire world around.. Even though at the time i had a pretty great life in general i still felt like i needed to, myself, be better. Maybe you are feeling the need to do it by conforming to others perhaps or to cope with some sort of emotion. It in no way makes you weird for thinking thoughts like that, however i would seek help. Fortunately you sound like one of the lucky ones who does have support so use that to your advantage. i hope you get and feel better sweety because anorexia is not a road worth walking down in the end. i believe in you :)
