i think i’m developing anorexia and i’m struggling hard, ive never been happier with my weight and thats what’s holding me back. i’m so afraid to eat everything and i’m always so tired and i have no energy. i’m in cheer right now and it’s horrible right now because i can’t focus on anything

do you have someone around who you can talk to or who can check up on you? I think it's super important to let somebody, like family or friends, in on what's going on. when did it start?

@kennedy713 You need more calories obviously. Maybe just a little bit extra every day. Like a carrot or something before you cheer. I do it like this: If I have to work out in any way I drink a glass of juice before I go to the gym. Helps keeping my mood/energy up for a while :)

@kennedy713 - I'm glad you're reaching out - that's an excellent first step! One thing that helped me was to reframe things to be about something other than weight - in this case, you're in cheer and it's tough because you have no energy and can't focus on anything. Eating more will give you energy and focus that is missing right now, and setting that as a goal can give you something to work towards that isn't about weight and is instead about other important goals you have. If you need extra support, feel free to reach out, and good luck!
