I abused laxitives the first time I was dealing with anorexia. Then the medication I'm on is constipating in the first place.....so there was an excuse to use them for awhile, but I found that I tended to abuse them & the problem with abuse is also dehydration. Look up all the medical problems that can come from abuse of laxitives including the inability after awhile to for your body to function without them.

Definitely not a wise thing to abuse in the whole scheme of things & neither is throwing up. Over exercising isn't wise either.....everything in moderation & you will not only look healthy, but you will be healthy....much better than being so thin one looks like a walking skeleton.

I can guarantee you that having a nice personality will get you a lot farther in the dating world than being a small size. It's more important to catch a nice guy who is real than someone who is so superficial that all they are looking for is a thin person. In reality, a guy doesn't like the looks of a girl that looks like a walking dead person. They want someone who won't pass out every time they try to do something fun because they haven't eaten in days or is in the hospital every time they turn around needing IV nutrition. In the dating scene, a person with anorexia is more of a liability....someone they will have to be caring for the rest of their life if they live that long. If they are really interested in a good catch & getting married, they will be looking for someone to enjoy the rest of their life together with, not just until the other person dies of anorexia.

Size 1 may look good with cloths covering the body.....but after that????? bones sticking out all over the place, looking like a walking skeleton isn't exactly what appeals to most guys. It's more the look of someone dying of cancer than a nice healthy girl they would be interested in marrying. (just some food for thought..no pun intended)
