Quote From: tan144I hope this doesn't come accross in a bad way cause i really don't mean it to but i just think maybe you posted this on the wrong board. What you said can be really triggering for those of us who are struggling w/ anorexia, not to mention that you probobly won't get much (if any) advice on gaining weight considering our problem is the opposite of yours and that we are obsessed w/ losing weight. Just my thoughts :)
I'd have to agree with Tan44. I really don't want you to take it the wrong way, but I personally would give the world to be able to eat as much as I want and weigh so little! Never to have to worry about gaining weight, etc. I have been struggling with the disease for so long now. I have had to go in the hospital for two and a half months over the summer for treatment and I am going to have to go back. It is hell being forced to eat. It's something so basic in life and yet the hardest thing in the world for people with anorexia. I have to admit that hearing your problem about wanting to gain weight was very triggering. I hope that you can find the right place and support for your problem. It is a problem. Have you thought about talking to your doctor? I am certain that he/she will have some suggestions for you. Don't forget that if you build muscle, you will look healthier, weigh more since muscle weighs more then fat and people will probably start to "lay off" you and the fact that you are skinny.
Good luck and I hope you find what you are looking for.
