welll...my ED isn't from lolita. I got it from stress. the more stressed I am, the less I eat. If I ignore my stomache, then i forget i'm hungry. because stress makes me feel too sick to eat, so i don't. also, i suffer from loss of appetiet in addition, and i suppose it dosen't help that i have a rule against eating unless I am hungry, even if that means i haven't eaten in a day or two. if i'm not hungry, there is no sence in eating imo. that's pretty much what's up w/ me and my ED.

My advice for anyone with an eating disorder is to go see your doctor and get a therapist.
I've never had an eating disorder. My measurements say that I am a bit fat, but my BMI (body mass index) is in the healthy range so I don't worry about it too much. I think the main thing for everyone to do is gradually work towards a healthy BMI or maintain a healthy BMI and eat a wide variety of food to help give you all the nutrients you need.
I can see how shopping for lolita clothes online (especially Japanese stores) is not healthy if you want to change your body to fit into them. I could never fit into Japanese clothes, not even with my highschool measurements when I was at a perfect BMI, so I just make my own or buy lolita pieces at department stores.

Sweet Lemon Broker Okay, first… I’m a male, and I don’t find skinny Lolita’s attractive. Asian people mostly have more round, chubby faces and it matches Lolita clothes. ^-^ If you want to look more doll-like, I’d actually say that most people need to gain weight. A Lolita is supposed to look cute. Skinny-ness is not cute. XD There’s a lot of styles where people usually think they need to loose some weight, but I think it’s just the opposite way with all the Lolita styles. I don’t have any eating disorder myself. Right now, I suffer from too high metabolism. And another metabolism-illness… but I don’t know what it’s called on English. >_< Anyway, that means that I can not gain weight. No matter how much I eat, I’ll only loose weight. I’m a big fan of J-Rock, and all j-rockers are skinny. To wear oshare kei clothes (and Lolita. Not often though) it looks best if you’re skinny. At least if you’re not Asian. Because of that, I’m actually quite glad that I’m sick. (@_@’) Very disturbing actually… *cough* But I look forward to be healthy (In some couple of years. Sigh… slow progress) I love to eat. Therefore, I can never just quit eating. And I hate to throw up, so that’s not a problem either. XD I guess I’m just a little weird. the thyroid gland controls metabolism so in english you probably would have hyperthyroidism. tip for weight loss and just feeling better. i don't drink pop anymore. lost a few pounds and i fell so much better. i pretty healthy weight. use to be overweight but doing sports helped me. i'm 5'7' 140 pounds and i can fit into most japanese brand clothes just fine. surprised tha ti can but its awesome. though probably because my body type is perfect for lolita with a tiny bust and tiny waist, my weights mostly on my thighs. (dancing produces massive muscles on the thighs and calves) i'm pretty happy. use to have issues when i was younger but never anything bad. now i just make healthy choices and try to exercise. but no matter what there is a style lolita dress that an size can wear, just keep looking or have it custom made! heart good luck to everyone wink

The girl that started this thread said that lolita didn't cause it, just furthered her ED. Telling an ana or a mia that she's beautiful and should love her body will never help. See, eating disorders are a form of body dysmorphic disorder (that thing Michael Jackson had that make him get all those nose jobs) which basically makes you constantly unhappy with your appearance. Specifically, your weight. A lot of us girls with an ED claim a goal weight that will make us happy, but once it's reach that magic number is once again out of reach. It's a serious mental condition that we wish on no one.
I myself have an EDNOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified), meaning I don't fit into classical anorexia or bulimia specifications.

I stopped eating for about four months. I ate only once or twice on weekends to keep me alive. I had lost maybe 20 pounds and thought I was doing good-- was completely happy. After awhile, I didn't feel hungry at all, I didn't even want food. I had no problem denying it. This wasn't the case at first, believe me.
Then, my family became concerned.. shortly after, I had a bit of a breakdown and ended up in the ER, they then took me to an In-Patients Unit (IPU) where I had to stay until the people moderating me thought I was okay to take care of myself. That place was Hell, and luckily it only took me three days to have an 'intervention' and change.
Once I got home, I was a completely different person. I had a lot more energy, I ate the meals I was supposed to [which my body didn't even want to keep down at first]. It's been about 6 months since then.. and I've gained a total of 60 pounds just by eating the recommended daily calories.
I admit that I didn't exercise as much as I should've, but I did do it. Mostly strength training and the occasional cardio. But, still... this is the most I have ever weighed.
People who were concerned told me this would happen, but I just didn't listen. I can't believe I weigh this much now and I'm unhappier than I was before I even started anorexia/bulimia.
My advice to anyone suffering with these diseases is to seek help.. because I know my story isn't enough to change your mind. When I was going through it, I didn't listen to anything. I did what I wanted to, and I know how that mentality goes. But, please.. seek help and find out everything you need to know about what these diseases can do to your body.
Did you know that not having the correct nutrition can also result in losing brain matter/brain function? Your brain shrinks, literally because your body is eating away at everything to get the energy it needs to function well enough for daily life.
Get help. =(
