Hello.
i am female 18 years old about 5 6 and weigh in around 127 pounds give or take. over the past year i have been taking laxatives, anywhere from 8-10 per day.every other day or every few days. ive tried to stop but i get scared ill gain weight back. ive lost aobut 25 pounds with this method and have alot more self confidence with the weight loss. however, im afraid of the long term effects. ive heard things like you can stop pooping for long periods of time, even things like hair loss(im VERY afraid of that) id really like to keep at the weight im at, but i dont feel i can do it without the aid of laxatives. i want to stop i really do, but it scares me that ill be fat again and ill look gross and ugly. i am thrilled with the attention im receiving and i really am beginnng to like the way i look more and more but im so scared of whats going to happen to me. im pretty sure i have an addiction problem. how do i get off these things and still maintain my weight?
