A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I got with my bf when I was 11 years old and since I turned 13 he started controling my life. I am now 15 and he is nerly 18 and when I was 13 he told me I was fat and told me I had to loose weight. I weighed 8 st 2 at the time and he wanted me to weigh 6 st 10.

Anyway I lost weight and reached 7st 1 and he said he wants me to loose more and I told him that I felt to weak and the doctors and GP'S said I had to put on weight or am at a high risk of being really ill, so anyway he told me to loose a little bit more because I still looked fat and I felt disgusting and I am now 6st 13 and been diagnosed with Anorexia and I cant loose anymore I feel to weak it has taken me 15 mins just to write this up to were I am now, he told me that if I don't loose another 2LBs at least he will leave me and I really don't want to lose him.

Please Help I Don't Know What To do.

Honestly honey I don't know you but i don't think any man is worth all that. If he doesn't like you for who you are then there not worth it. I have always beleived that its not about what you look like but its about who you are. There is plenty of fish in the sea and i bet there is many that would love you for the size you are were. My weigh right now is 177 pounds and I wouldn't change that for any one but myself, and there are people that try to say things about the way I look but honestly If they do not like it then they don't have to look at it. I would tell them to fuck off. If you like how you look then who cares what any one thinks. N if you have a eating problem now and he wants you to loss more weigh, think about what you are doin sweetie would you really want to kill your self b/c some one wants you to lose weigh? and if this man gets you to lose all this weigh and you do end up dying from it, think of all the people in your life that you would be hurting while doing it. and if he knows he can get you to lose 2 more pounds then he will think he can get you to lose another 2 n even more. Plump is pretty to hun and don't ever for get that.

I need help not critisism. Just so everyone knows I have left him and On Monday I am going to my GP tomorow to get a diet plan and I have told my ex boyfriend's parents what he has done to me. Its not my fault how I feel.

Yes I choose what I do and eat but I have lost many people in my family and I didnt want to loose him. I am not looking for sympathy I am looking for help, which is the whole point in this website Im 15, with no parents and this website was recomended by one of my friends, so I came on this and got help. You didnt have to be so nasty about it :( you made me upset.

But thanks to everyone else, Just so ya know I am not looking for sympathy, its help I need.

CrazyMind agony aunt"he has also made me dye my hair black and wear lots of eyeliner because he likes the emo look, I hate it but it kept him happy."

Hun, woah. You need to get yourself out of this relationship. He doesn't respect you for who you are, and he wants you to live to HIS ideals. He's not worth the air he breathes, to be honest. You NEED to find someone that accepts you as you are, and doesn't ever ask you to change - find somebody that actually loves you.

I'll put it simply: Your 'boyfriend' is SCUM, and you need to get him out of your life.

CrazyMind agony auntReading what you've listed that you eat, I don't think that you're taking in enough calories (although I haven't checked)

Speak to your GP/a doctor about a healthy eating plan, and then try to stick to it. Try increasing how much you eat - throw in a chocolate bar along with the Pear, have two cups of rice instead of one, etc. And just try and gradually increase your calorie intake. Set a weight that you want to reach, and don't stop eating until you get there - and once you're there, work out a healthy diet to maintain that weight.

I wish you all the best in succeeding with putting this weight on; it won't be easy, but you can do it, I believe in you.

ilovebowsandcherries agony auntaw hun it will at first you've decreased alot but with help from doctors and your family you'll definately get there maybe take time but you will

but you need to shift that big amount of weight out your life that so called "boyfriend" of yours

he isn't doing you any favours just putting you down making you feel worthless and controlling your life!

and that's not what you need at all.

your still so young and have so much ahead of you.

Thanks for all your comment, I dont starve myself he just tells me what to eat and when to eat. Here is my routine:

Breakfast: Apple, Or banana and water

Dinner: Tropicana smoothie, one glass and a bowl of cerial

Snack: Pear

Tea: one glass of rice with sweet n sour sauce with orange juice.

supper: bowl of cerial with a glass of milk.

And water throught the day. I started off doing this and wanting more but now I seem ust to having this much food and I don't know why and I really want to put the weight back on but it seems impossible.

if he was ANY kind of boyfriend he wouldn't have made you feel so fat!

when you clearly are not fat!!

he would of just showered you with compliments whether or not you looked nice because that's what true loves are meant to do love you no matter what.

he's too up himself!

CrazyMind agony auntHunni, you say you don't want to lose him, but I think losing him would be the best thing you can do - you deserve much better than him; you need to find somebody who accepts you for who you are, and who doesn't try and control your life.

Please, take the advice of the doctors and put on weight - you need to get this bad influence out of your life. He's wanting you to fit in with his own ideals, most likely acquired from magazines and models - you need to feel comfortable with yourself, and be sensible to yourself.

Get some friends around you who will support you, support at this time is something you need. Feel free to contact me: Private message me on this site (http://www.dearcupid.org/mb/pm.aspx?username=crazymind) or if you'd like another method, Go to http://CrazyMind.freehostia.com

jay12toes agony auntI think you already know what everyone here will have to say. You should never be in a relationship that causes you harm. I know you have been with him for a long time and you probably really love him but are you sure he loves you back if he would let you suffer like this and still ask for more.You should break up with him and if he comes crawling back and says hes sorry, then mabey it can still work out but it cant like this.
