you seem like a nice girl and it would be a shame for something to happen to you because of this. tell your father your problem. he will help you get some help. speaking as a father of a little girl who is my life, there is nothing i would not do for her no matter what it might be. i would die trying to help her and would die if anything happened to her that i could have avoided. please talk to him. i know he loves you unconditionally.
they girl in the box told you to tell him
talk to your father or if not him someone you trut please get help and remember your FATHER loves you “i will never leave or forsake you'’ you do not need to go anywhere he is right beside you.
she knew he would help you in the past and he will continue to do so. you are the girl in the box so listen to yourself, tell him this he loves you and will help you no matter what.
As you know, you will have to get help on this one. It is a problem that can cost you your life and you should move on this one ASAP. Here is a site that can direct you in the right direction. Have you told your parents, if not, do it today.

I have not told my parent syet and I AM SCARED I dont want to hide it no more but I dont know how to say it what am I supoose to say Hey dad I have been bulimic for 4 years I dont think so please give me some ideas of what i COULD SAY !!!!!!!!!!
I think you should let him know you have beed dealing with an issue for the past four years that you would like some help with. When he goes to ask what the ‘issue’ is, tell him what it is…he’ll start the questions from there and most likely you’ll just be answering them (which will be easier for you anyway). Good luck little one…

These are the main things that bullemia can do to you.
Please don’t do this to yourself. See a counceller, see a therapist. They’ll be able to help you with this, and let you know ways to open up to your dad.
But please get help

Cass, yes you should tell your father but before you do you should pray that the Lord will prepare your father for this and that when it is time that He will grant you an open door and the wisdom and the courage to tell him “calmly” ;-) Love ya girl!
dad i have something to tell you and i need you to listen i do not want to hide this anymore i have been balemic for a long time (this is how it started ) i need help it is not as simple as just eating i know it may seem that way you are my dad i love you i need help.
I think you should tell your paapa, as well. It may be hard, near impossible, but I think he really can help you! Just go up to him, say dad, I love you, and I need to talk to you about something. I am bullemic. It is hard to talk to anyone about this, and gets harder as time goes on. The sooner, the better!
Be careful! -Sox
Its all good advice so I hope you act on it. All I’m going to say is I’ll keep you in my prayers.
I think you should tell your dad so you can go to get special treatment for this. But from my point odf veiw but when you look in the mirror do you an ugly person? Your eyes are decieving you cause,your risking everything just so you look good. Anyone that ever told you were ugly or fat is silenced and has dissapeared forever. Realy to be real with you looking by the way your looking now you are looking like a model and these people who think looking like a skeleton is cute either are trying to poison you or are severely mental,even if you are a little chunky (which by the looks of your photo which doesn’t seem to be) it still looks beautiful and having some meat on your bones doesnt make you unactractive and God made everyone his own way and what he thinks is beatufil and no one he creates on earth is ugly,only your own actions do that. Follow God’s word and you’ll be off beliema and off to a better life!
I appreciate what each of u said and I will try and do this but I am not ready to talk but yet I am not going to live like this and I am scared . I fell like I am traped in my own body , I mean for pete sake I cant even eat aound peope and fell cofortale I feel like I am being watchd and every one is juding me . Then I have to go throw up and I cant to do how ca I do this but without having to be totally exposed to my family my whole family is christan based and none would want to know that I am like this cause most of my frinds and family are christans and Iam tired of hidding but how can I do this without my family knowing ? I am not trying to be diffuclt but I dont kno how to do this.
Your family being a Christian family should make it easier. THEY LOVE YOU!
When you lose your health, there is no getting it back. Tell them ASAP!
They do love me I just dont know how and when to say it cause my dad is already going through something
Well, this is too important to worry about that my friend. Your dad will be more upset if you do NOT tell him.
TELL THEM TODAY!!!!!!!!
I have to pray and ask god to give me the right words to say I have to rely on him rigth now but it does help to have frinds though thanks to all.
God gave you a brain to use C.G.! Would suggest that use it ASAP and tell your parents……….
I am using my brain I am scared but I will do it I just need gods guidens U think that I dont hate bein like this that I aint realized all the things that can happen t o me and that I could die well there u r wrong but they expect me to be a christan and being bulimic is not very christan I dont want to be disliked because of a choice I made I love my family !!
Bulimic is not a sin, it is an illness! If you are going to be hard-headed and not take our advise, then you don’t need to ask for advise, if you not going to take it C.G. People here LOVE YOU AS A HUMAN BEING. We know what is best for you. Stop debating the issue and get help.
All I have to say about the subject.
Have a good day!
I am not being hard headed and I am sorry if I seem like it and I DO WANT HELP I am sorry the last thing I want to do is seem like I am just joking a person would have to be really low to joke about this but I will talk to him ont give up on me yet Qzzzz
If I was your dad, would whip your tail if you did not tell me…Lol…Gosh, someone that has their whole life ahead of them and got an illness that CAN BE FATAL, don’t play games. Get with the program. NOW…TODAY…….ChristianGirl, tell your parents TODAY!!!!!!!!!
I am with the program I will tell him
Cass, Stop casting your pearls before the swine. It is time to close this post and do as I told you. PRAY. Seek Gods advice on this. Not everyone elses.
Yes true bulimia is an illness but there is a border line where it does become sin. Jesus made it quite clear in the Bible that if we do harm to our bodies than we are doing harm to His Temple and that in itself is a sin.
So, I urge you Please seek God and stop seeking the advice of the world.
Pray that God will give you the “know how” to tell your father and pray that he will provide a way for you to do that. Now, I am holding you my end in prayer over this but I need you to hold up your end as well.
It is time to end this post and to stop this and start praying, please.
