How do you tell you parents you have an eating disorder?

It's great that you've decided to tell your parents, thats the first step to getting better 
If it seems too overwhelming to tell both of them at the same time, maybe tell the one you feel closest to first, then the other.
I would just sit down and tell them that you really need their help. Let them know that you know that you have a problem and that you want to get better, and that what you need more than anything is their support.
Don't be ashamed of yourself, you should be proud that you have the strength to ask for help. I'm proud of you for even asking about asking how to get help, it shows a lot of character
Don't worry, you're not alone in this! Your parents and friends can help you through it
If you need anything please let me know!
