positive people=positive actions.


so foremost thankyou!especially as i live alone and i dont get intimate support.slowly ive told a few friends,and thats taken guts as eating disoprders carry a stigma.everyone has been brilliant,the dr agreed,"put on some weight"but unfortunately if it was that easy i wouldnt have been sat in his chair!!!!!i didnt lean forward and nut him though a freidn also directed me to http://www.cyclingnews.com/features....rders1....this reinforced the notion people suffer and people GET BETTER and im doing the right thing,however scarey that is.i magaged to gain 400grammes,so am 48.4kg and now ive got complacient and have my head in the sand re upping dietary intake again,which is SO SO frustrating as i want and need to be stronger,

so your enquiries will help me gather my courage again.


its hard when some people say "you look well/great etc etc"when deep down im shattered,im not as strong as i was,have mood swings and tend to socially isolate myself etc etc,lots of you have been there,which has made contacting you such a good thing as you have GOT BETTER,all positives,which i thrive on.


anyway,ive got an all over body scan this fri for osteoporosis.


how on earth do you eradicate the anorexia saying no,dont increase food intake???ive got to imagine that as a damp squib and im a bit fat foot stamping onit.


have found little help in the GB,i duno why,i suppose also people not realiseing that i need the support a recovering alcoholic would get etc,i did see a nutrition man but he sort of laid out a plan and then released me to get on with it,which i suppose is what will gain me the long term strength to conquer once and for all!


wow!was that a long winded one?????

I'm glad you're still plugging away at it HS. I have severaly friends that have struggled with anorexia and it is very hard to control. As you said, it's like alcoholism, a disease that you live with forever and have to fight everyday and every minute. Hang in there.
