I've been on both sides of the coin; from 12 I was desperate to lose my 'puppy fat' and just stopped eating. It worked, obviously. But at a cost - I looked awful, skin and bone, terrible skin, no energy, in pain all the time. By my early 20s and after my first child I was the opposite. 5'4" and almost 20st. Could not stop eating and didn't exercise at all. Agoraphobia didn't help. I then got roped into joining slimming world and it did wonders for me. I was eating healthily for once and never felt better. That's not a 'diet', it's just good eating habits and being healthy mind and body. Now, I'm back not eating again because of anxiety, it's not fun at all. I don't want to become overweight again either but if I could bring myself to adopt that healthy lifestyle again I would.
Don't let this rule your life. If you're honestly that unhappy then join somewhere like I did, just do it safely with expert advice and support. Everyone here saying EDs aren't fun are SO right. You don't want to go down that road.
Hey if you see some of my newer posts you'll see i'm so much better now This was an old post and when I read it I feel like it's a completely different person! I've been eating and not cutting for about a year now. Got a lot of counseling and am a new person!
