I'm not at all happy with my body and I feel like I'm fat and disgusting etc. so recently I started restricting myself a bit by either not eating when I'm hungry for snacks, or by eating ice since there are no calories. I know that this is not a good path to go down, and my therapist is taking it very seriously. I started an even stricter diet earlier this week because after I felt even worse about myself (I went to a ballet class and all I could focus on was how fat gross I looked in my leotard and tights)...

Today my therapist asked me today how much I eat and I told her sometimes it's 3 meals a day and sometimes it's 1 it all depends. She asked what I ate today and I told her: a Special K bar. She asked if I bought it because it's only a certain amount of limited calories, and my answer was yes. I know this isn't good, but I can't help it.

It's just awful. Every time I look at myself I see something awful. I've never been so unhappy with myself in my life.

What did your therapist say when you told her what your current eating patterns have been? Do you have any strategies in place to help yourself out?

She said that I should try and eat 3 meals a day and snack on things full of protein because they stave off hunger.

Are you going to follow that advice? Or at least try to?

I kinda have been, but kinda not.

I've gotten used to not eating at least one meal a day, and I figure if I can replace high calorie meals with low cal snacks it's a good thing. (For my diet, not necessarily for me).

Do you NEED to diet though? Or do you WANT to diet?

Please don't do anything that would be harmful for you in the long run. You deserve to be happy and healthy.
