Recently i've more or less stopped eating and i've started spending 2-3 hours at the gym every day, i'll excercise until i feel sick or am in severe pain.
I've been told i could have anorexia but i'm perfectly happy with my figure, i want to tone up a little but not lose weight. I mean I do have days when i look in the mirror and feel really fat, who doesn't but then i see my younger sister and feel sick at how thin she is and tell myself i never want to be like that but i'm not so sure.
I take a medicine to replace some vital vitamins which restores my health and stops me from collapsing but i'm not sure what i'm doing is good for me??

You should only exercise off what extra you put in your body.
Not eating is bad enough, but not eating and working it off is even worse.

Yes, that is wrong.

It'd be more healthy to just have small snacks every couple of hours because it keeps your metabolism up during the day.

Also, don't stay at the gym until you ache so bad. Go to the gym with a workout plan.

I do have a workout plan, my fitness instructor gave me one but sometimes i just really badly want to impress him so much i go straight for my target in one sessions instead of doing it in stages over 4 weeks hence why i feel so much pain.

that's really not going to help. it isn't worth it.

your health > impressing anyone.

there's a reason why it's over 4 weeks. so that you can rest and build some muscle.

if you don't eat anything and work out, you're hurting yourself in the long run because you're putting tiny tears and oxygen holes in your muscles.

Quoted for truth.

I know you're right and i suppose i know i should stop but i just really can't help it.
It might help if i explain what triggered this in the first place.
I had a bad run of boyfs and started to become ill with stress and stopped eating as much i eventually found another lad who i loved to bits but he moved away for his career and he's only spoke to me once since to wish me a happy birthday. I was in pieces when he left cause he was a close mate as well. So already having problems with eating, i stopped altogether. I began to think if i toned up a little, nothing extreme just some mild exercise, maybe i'd have better luck with lads. I began to notice how much exercising was making me forget him so i started to go to the gym more and more often. I got an instructor to draw me up a plan and he was just so nice. Not just looks but personality and i thought that if i could just maybe reach them targets then i could impress him. It's stupid and i know that but i just can't stop. I feel sick when i try to eat and i go mad if i don't exercise because i start to think i'm unfit or just break down in tears.

Okay, I don't want this to come across wrong, so I hope you don't take offense.

You seem like one of those people that just needs to be with someone, can't stand being alone.
By doing this, you're pushing your problems to the back of your mind and creating NEW problems to cover them over. What you're actually doing is just creating MORE problems, not just replacing them.
As nice as anyone may be, anyone who is decent isn't going to want you to be putting your health at risk for them, and anyone who does isn't worth it in the first place.
You can't just keep covering problems over, you have to deal with them.
You need to be comfortable in yourself before you start looking for relationships.

I can't really take offence when you're probably speaking the truth,
but thanks hun xx

;D

Eating properly is key.
I shouldn't really be talking about that though, because the past few months/years I haven't been eating properly myself. I don't exercise though, hah, so anything I do eat basically just stays on.

But yeah, once you're into a routine of not wanting/needing food, it can be hard to change it back, what I did this week was make a routine list for the day of when I would eat each meal and stuff, so that it was there with me so I couldn't forget to eat, even if I wasn't necessarily hungry.
It helped. ;D

I'll try it and let you know how it works. And again thanx aload x
