Anorexia
Quote From: bjork12 Hi!
I am new to these boards and I have Anorexia Nervosa. I am 28 years old and have had it since I was 16 years old. I woould say that it is much worse now than it was then. It gets worse, the older I get... I've tried the treatment center thing for the past 5 years, with my last treatment stay lasting over a year, and still I am not recovered. I think about calories and weight loss all of the time. I have apparently a horribly distorded view of my body,or so I am told. Nothing has helped. I wish Doctor Phil would help me! I'm at my wit's end!!!! Some days I really want to recover and some days I totally don't. It depends. I see a nutritionist and a therapist and they tell me to eat more and whatnot,but I have trouble trusting them. What should I do?

It's crazy, I know exactly what your talking about. I have a hard time eating too.What sucks for me is that people are always telling me how thin and pretty i am and when i look in the mirror i just don't see it. I know i'm not fat but I see myself as chubby and always find areas where i can improve on. I have gotten alot better though. I used to not have breakfast or lunch and then when i'd get back from school i'd have a bowl of cereal. Now, since it's cross country season I make myself eat, but i still worry about calorie intake and about gaining weight. It sucks, because i don't know what a porpotional meal would be. I do not consider myself anorexic though. When you say you are anorexic, what do you eat? Obviously you have to be eating some things or u wouldn't be alive,right. Please email me back
