Thank You!
Quote From: ralphyYour intense fear of weight gain and your goals to eat less each day and early warning signs that an eating disorder is beginning to appear right next to you. You may think it makes you feel good or makes you stronger, smarter, prettier or even more acceptable but that eating disorder will not stay standing next to you for long....The more weight you lose and the more fear you get of eating the strobger this shadow will become. I trusted my annorexia since I was 15 and half until my 21st birthday...yes that means I did not celebrate my birthday because I was stuck away in hospital. It take so much away from you that you are left drained, exhausted and feeling like their is no hope. I have been down this road and the euphoria of losing weight soon wears off as your life becomes restricted by harsh routines and unbreakable demands. Your social life fades, your friends disappear and you are seperated from the world and the life you could truly fufill. Trust in someone close and seek out a good consellor. It won't be easy and you will want to turn to your old habits to ease the discomfort but fight hard and each day will become a little less of a battle...and eventually you will laugh again...and see yourself as worthwhile!! i just wanted to say thank you, to whom ever you are that wrote this. i have been struggling with anorexia most of my life, i am now 23, and i have 3 small kids. the only time that i did not starve my self was when i was preganant. my husband has no idea that this is still a problem for me, and i am not sure how to tell him that he is a huge part of the problem.i still look @ my self in the mirror and see a fat person. just as i did when i was in high school and i barely weighed in @ 100lbs. it helps to know that i am not alone in this, and that maybe i can get past it all someday. Thanks again.
