hi, im a high school girl struggling with body image. i eat a lot of food and then i make myself vomit and poop afterwards. i am so fat im like 82 kg or 180 lbs and liposuction sounds more and more enticing if thats the word, but i heard ill just have a saggy flap of skin. maybe if not continue to vomit and poop, i will just work out like the fatass i am.

I feel weird commenting on this being an adult man but I'm about to have a teenage daughter so here goes: Focus on what you can control and what is within your ability to do. Nobody else's opinion matters but yours and your doctor. At the same time, skinny == healthy. Aim to be healthy and accepting of how your body works. Learning to be content goes a long way in life and its a lesson a lot of people seem to never think about.
