Hey trya thanks for tackling the tough issues. I just wish you might cover males with eating disorders. I'm 33 and have anorexia and it's hard to talk about since the stigma is that males don't get ed's. I'm getting into counseling but it's very hard and what most people don't realize is that a lot of people also have other concerns. I myself also have Bipolar and struggle with Self Injury. It's very tough to deal with and just hope that you may cover it in a show or series of shows sometime. Please let me know if you do & when.

To who will listen,

I'm a 27yr. old male who is dealing with annorexia/bulemia and has now resorted to cutting to take my mind off of it. I've taken on "chew and spit" where you make yourself something to eat, chew it up, spit it out without swallowing any, and throw the bag away. I find myself to be unacceptable and the mirror has become my worst enemy. I'm taking on a deep depression where I've shut out my family and friends who I know would be there but I don't want them to worry about me so I just keep it to myself. I have no one in my life that has a clue as to how to help me or understand me. I know I'm in severe need of help but I won't reach out. I will share my story here because I'm taking the first step to reaching out. Every time it's talked about or I hear about it, the illness revolves around females which is why I won't go to a support group. I get compliments and asked out all the time but I don't see what anyone else see's and I turn away anyone that tries to be with me. I see my body in such a deformed way that's it's killing my parents if it doesn't kill me first. My mom and dad know of it and they've been to the hospital with me over it a few times, and it kills me to see them cry. I just can't stop and I just can't eat or drink. Cutting is the only thing i have to take my mind off of it! (along with smoking) I wish there was someone who could help me but I have the highest doubt in that. Tyra I wish you'd do a show on eatting dissorders for males. I know there have to be more out there but I know of none. I lived in NYC for a while, got into bartending and modeling for independent fashion designers, then moved back to VA where Dr's put me on weight gaining meds. To rid myself of the pain I've attempted an overdose and it almost worked but I woke up a couple days later with a feeding tube down my throat. If anyone can help my email is allyourz1980@yahoo.com . Sharing my story for the first time to the public, Justin

I don't know if you'll ever read this, Tyra, but I think I'm having an eating disorder. My friends tell me that I have it. When I see others eat, I have the urge to tell them to stop. Because, I feel like it's a sin to eat. I was 87kg. And I'm 59kg now. 178cm. I'm only feeding on green cabbage and cereal and I brisk walk for an hour. I still want to lose weight even though I know it's wrong. I can't help it.

Dear Tyra,

I have been in bulimia hell for two years since age sixteen sprouting from a family with every type of abuse immaginable.

Ever since I was little, my mother was obsessed with her weight and mine as well- she did the most insane crash diets and made me join her, my first diet was when I was ten; she thought the only way to be happy was to be thin. Since she never let me eat sweets when I was little, I developed a BIG sweet tooth when I hit puberty and got a little chubby (5'8, 165 avg).

Finally, after years of crazy diets and insane exercised regiments, my mother spiraled so deep into to depression she told me often she just wished she was dead.

When me and my friend started going to the gym, I toned up and slimmed down about ten pounds in three months, not even dieting. This made my mom even more crazy, so she began to take me out to eat three times a week and bringing home excessive amounts of fast food every other night, guilting me into eating it while she would just eat salads.

I've always had a fast metabolism because I've always eaten abnormally large amounts of food (10 yrs old and I can down a 20 piece nugget meal a McDonalds no problem), but over time I just began to binge and binge, eating until my stomach would literaly almost rip- I didn't even realize WHY, just that it filled this intense need and eventually lost the ability to ever feel 'full' until I ate myself sick.

When I was kicked out several months later, I hit the scale at 210 and decided to do something about it, exercising normally and eating what I thought was 'heathy', restricting from 2100 to 1500 to 1200, all the way down to 800 calories daily.

When the weight finally even offed at 160, I couldn't stand to look at myself- I was still fat, still miserable; I was NEVER thin enough. Since I had restricted so much, I was so tired and hungry all the time that I would break down and binge, eating about 30,000 calories in food.

So, I puked- for the first time, I felt like I won and it was unrivaled euphoria. But soon, it became an uncontrolable urge that I couldn't escape- I went from 160 to 130 in about two months, and maintained that for about seven months, b/p up to eight times a day.

I have now shrunk down to 118 lbs, classified as bulimirexia, the only thing that quells the urge and let me gain weight is stimulants- ironically I suffer from ADD, but have gone unmedicated because my parents don't believe in meds.

I am a walking skeleton- I would keep it down if I could stop eating at a natural amount, but it NEVER ends. On average, a binge for me is a medium pizza, a pound cake, 20 ounces if m&ms, TUBAWARES of cereal and assorted bread and dessert items smothered in butter; Roughly 6-8 pounds of food.

I'm am seeking recovery but it has become such a big part of my life I am lost without it- For anyone who is suffering to, we are WORTHY, we are BEAUTIFUL, and we are STRONG. We will survive this- to many have died in vain already, seek help in those you love.

Dear Tyra

I am from asia. Saw ur programs in the local channels and really hooked as the issues u address in ur show is insipring n relevant. I am bulimic since 12 n now tt i am 26 i'm stillvery much into it. i couldnt get out of it no matter how many ways i tried. been to so many phychiatrists but still in vain. i cant work properly n all my money goes to buying food for binging. sometime i feel so preoccupied tt i feel like suicide esp when i had a hard time throwing up n my whole throat swells n hurt. my boyfriend mention marriage but i couldnt do it as even thou he knows abt i'm bulimic he doesnt know the extreme extend of my condition.
i wanted to watch all ur shows esp abt these issues but unfortunately my local tv doesnt broadcast all ur shows nor in sequence.

Dear Tyra,

How are you? I just wanted to know how Laurie (Lori) is doing with battling her anorexia. I hope that she is doing well.

Dear Tyra,
I really appreciate the difficult topics your show adresses. I've been struggling with bulimia and sometimes anorexia since I was 11. I remember quitting the swim team after 3 years because I 'couldn't wear a bathing suit anymore.' I failed high school gym class because I had panic attacks about wearing shorts. It's difficult, because I don't think people who don't suffer from it or who aren't exposed first-hand to it often understand. It's humiliating. In health class today we were discussing eating disorders. Our teacher mentioned bulimics hiding bags of vomit in their room until they could dispose of it. The entire classroom shook with an ignorant collective 'eww.' People laughed and joked about how "f*cked up" and "crazy" bulimics are. I just thought I'd share my story, and thank you for your insightful episodes.

Dear Tyra,
I love that you have a talk show and talk about these serious issues. When i was really into bulimia, i saw one of your shows and it scared me. Ever sense then i have stoped throwing up. but i still feel bad about my body. I have tried curves and eating healthy but i still feel like i'm fat. I just dont know what to do... My bestfriend had been anorexic for a few years and ive tried so hard to help her, but shes so lost into the disease it doesnt matter what i say. Her parents just ignore it and act like its ok.. What should i do...

Tyra I love you so much! Your sucn a inspireation & role model. i want ot be anorexic or blunemic. i need help. I'd like it from you. Please Tyra. Please

I am a parent of a beautiful daughter that was adopted at birth. I have done everything possible to give her what she needs and wants.She is a Great student and could own a runway if she was old enough. I have put her in modeling, tv comercials, plays, dance privit school, ect. My question is after all this she has such a low self-esteem because she feels she wasn't worth much. She knows her birth Mother and has keept in touch with her birth sisters but feels she needs to find her birth father. I don't know much about him and the birth mom refuses to tell. Is there anything you can do to help her. I know that there is a DNA testing that they can do now but can't afford it now because of a bad divorce. Please help or forwarded it to someone who can. Thank you Sincerely, A worried mom
