Sweetie, don't EVER be afraid of your parents! They love you no matter what, I know that from being a parent myself. Even at their worst behavior, I loved them all the time and there was never any problem to big that we couldn't, as a family, overcome it. I bet your parents will love you even more that you came to them and admit you told a little fib to them and everyone else and that you DO have a eating disorder.

Wouldn't you rather it come from you than some doctor or stranger that they don't know. Give them the chance to hug you and to help you. Don't cut them short! Give them a CHANCE! They are going to be hurt when someone else tells them that you didn't feel like YOU could tell them and wonder forever what they did to make you to afraid to come to them

Skipped period is just the beginning.. You are already playing with your future health if it has been that long since you had a period. The body is already reacting to what you are doing. Believe me, you are NOT fat! Even if you weighed 450*, your parents will love you.

I have had colon problems most of my life and just could not eat hardly anything. I got so skinny that I thought I looked like a walking skelaton and was ashamed to go out in public but I did not realize just how bad I really looked until I had finally gotten better and gained some weight (10 whole pounds) . Then I saw a picture of myself and my reaction was "OH MY GOD!" I was about 100* at 5'4 and I looked like death warmed over. I was weak, had no energy, looked gaunt and near death but not a soul ever said to me just how bad I looked until I was a lot better. Then they told me they really thought I was going to die....

I bet your parents think you are dying and can't figure out why and your Mother probably cries a lot when you are not around. They already suspect so go on and tell them....PLEASE tell them..... Give them a chance, they love you more than anyone else ever will.
