    You sound like a bit of a snob there, no offence or anything, but you do. Perhaps instead of judging people on where they live ect you could actually find out about them first? Make the effort to get to know the other families of the kids your daughter is hanging around with. If you try and drive a wedge between her and her friends you will alienate your daughter to the point where she resents everything you claim to be for her own good. I hung around with friends that my dad considered not respectable enough when I was younger but because my parents trusted me and had brought me up with decent morals/values and so on I turned out pretty well. Kids can sense when you don't trust them. And if you've brought your daughter up well so far and taught her the ability to stand up for herself then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. And what about the positive influence that your daughter might be having on this Ann? Ever thought of that?

    In my time working in the medical field out of the thousands of attempts using pills I've been too I've not seen a single successful attempt. It's a rubbish method. In fact, no method is 100% successful so I wouldn't bother. Instead I'd advise just facing up to what's happened and deal with it. Counselling, medications, all that jazz. It won't go away.....but it can be controlled for a loooong time.

    1. There's nothing wrong with teenage girls sleeping in the same bed. I used to do it all the time....and we talked and giggled until we fell asleep. 2. Best friends like to spend lots of time together, especially teenage girl best friends. 3. Your house is obviously a safe haven.....would you rather they both hung about on a street corner without telling you where they were or asking for a lift? 4. This friend of your daughters can clearly sense you don't like her and is probably scared of talking to you. She probably runs in and upstairs because she wants to stay out of your way. 5. Don't compare your daughters....they're different people, with different personalities and will never be the same. You're favouring your elder daughter because she conforms to your ideal. Just because your younger daughter doesn't conform to your ideal it doesn't make her a tearaway, classless ho.

    I would never go on a date with a guy who said "and see if we can have some interesting conversation". But that's just me.

    I know how the OP feels. I feel the same. I would encourage her to seek some form of counselling before it spirals out of control. Are you able to talk to your mum or someone about it? Also, can I just say (this isn't a rant just an opinion) that telling someone with disordered eating/body perceptions to just be comfortable with themselves is like telling a cancer patient to pretend it isn't painful. And to say their thoughts and feelings about themselves is a huge turn off only inflames the feeling that they aren't good enough. Again, this isn't a criticism of any posters just a view from the other side I guess, and I hope this doesn't offend anyone.

    It depends on the person. I have drunk rediculous amounts and still remembered everything that happened the next day. My friend on the other hand only has to drink a moderate amount and she won't remember half of what happened.

    The thing with the BMI is that it doesn't take into account your build or your muscle mass so can end up telling a body builder that's pure muscle that he is obese. It's alright to use it as a very rough guide to the weight range you could aim for. Another thing you could use is get a body fat percentage monitor and instead of monitoring your weight, monitor your body fat %. Ordinary women (i.e. not professional athletes) should aim to have no more than 31% body fat and no less than 18%. At 5ft8 a rough guide for you is to aim for between 130lbs and 160lbs. If you have a very small frame aiming for the lower end is fine. If you have a bigger frame aim for the top end.

    You should take this test and see what the results say. link removed ....I think you are either developing or already have an eating disorder. It's nothing to be ashamed about, although I know it's hard not to be. I have hidden mine since I was a teenager and believe me, it's not a good thing. You need to talk to an adult......a dr, a teacher, a helpline, a school nurse, a parent, a different family member, a family friend, a friends mother.....anyone. Tell them you're concerned that your eating habits are spiralling out of control and that you binge/purge. If you don't ask for help now this will grow and grow. Please do something.

    The best thing I ever did was go to University. Not just for a degree, but for the whole experience.

    "When you assume you make and * * * out of you and I" is the phrase that spings to mind here.

    I work in the medical field.....I know all about how to find out how healthy I am. I was interested in opinions on what people consider too big. Magazines are full of very very thin celebrities but they also call people like Beyonce and J-Lo ect "curvy" which indicates that they are "bigger" but really they're all a size 8-10, which, to me, is thin. I was interested to find out how "curvy" and "too fat" ect was perceived by others. I have body issues and problems with food.....I get obsessed over issues like this.

    Thanks boughs

    I'm after specific, honest answers, not what it depends on. You don't have to be nice.....just as brutally honest as possible.
  16. GalaxyC
    This is a question for all the guys on here. What size/weight do you, personally, consider to be too fat to be attractive? i.e. What size does a girl have to be to be considered a complete turn off?

    With your degree you should be able to wangle a job anywhere. Contact all the agencies in your places of choice, briefly explain what you want....a job, a new life somewhere, independence, your qualifications/experience....and see what you get back. If you sell yourself enough someone, somewhere should be able to help.

    It's perfectly understandable to be feeling as you are. The amount of loss you've suffered is going to affect anyone. Go to your doctor. He/She should not only be able to refer you to a counsellor but will assess whether you need meds. But for a dr to do this you have to be totally honest with them.

    If only that were true for everybody! I have a degree in sport science with pyschology and now work for the ambulance service. My issues with food have stayed the same throughout. It's more of a do as I say not as I do situation now when I talk to people.

    It sounds like she's confused and that she feels you're pressuring her into making a decision too quickly. Her suggestion of a break is probably to give her the time she needs to think things over and decide what she wants to do. You can't force someone to talk about things that even they don't understand. I would say take the break. Let her figure it out. If it's meant to be it will be.

    To lose weight you need to do some form of aerobic activity. Are you able to walk a longer distance than you can run? Because walking is an excellent form of gentle exercise. If you can walk for 20 minutes three times a week at a pace a little faster than you would normally walk you should lose weight slowly (which is healthier). Exercises for your legs.....squats and plieds are the best as is walking uphill. Don't purge....it causes SOOOO many health problems.....heart arrythmias, electrolyte imbalances, rotting teeth, bad breath, oesophageal tears and ruptures, ruptured blood vessels, bad skin.....the list goes on.

    I've never said it to anyone (except family).

    I think friends always come before boyfriends so if you want to keep her get over it.
  24. GalaxyC
    Counselling might help but will she go for it and actually open up and tell the truth? Or will she manipulate that as well? Trust makes or breaks a relationship. If you can't trust her then there isn't any point in pursuing it because you'll never be happy.

    Why don't you just tell her you have feelings for her?
