i dont have a doctor ..never have well i did when i was like 2 buts thats a whole other story...
Hey Gonecrazy, I used to have a eating disorder and I would love to talk to you. I'm on my way to school but when I get back I'll respond more just wanted to let you know I'm here. :hugs:
When you don't eat your stomach changes. Your body has to adjust to the way you're eating and what happens is your stomach shrinks and starts to eat itself instead. Thats why you feel sick when you DO eat. To get over that you have to force yourself to eat, 3 times a day even if you don't want too. Your stomach has to get used to food again. Start small with 3 small meals and increase them a bit each time. Even if you don't feel ill all the time the inside of your body is getting ill, your stomach and muscles are deteriating in a extremely unhealhty way, your will start to feel like your loosing memory [because you are, your brain isnt getting any nutriants it needs to work], you will be weak and fatigued etc. Thats why its so important to eat even if you don't want too. If you don't have a doctor you should seriously think about getting one, maybe ask your parents of you can call your local hospital and they will normally have a list of doctors currently accepting patients. You should also look into seeing a nutritionist. Just remember that you can maintain a healthy weight and eat properly at the same time, you don't have to starve to death, with a good physical activity and proper food you can be healthy.
I've been where you are however I went as far as being on life support, near death. It took someone to tell me exactaly how it is to change my mind and I'm alive now at a healthy normal weight and I love myself more then I ever have. Really thin women I see on TV, in magazines etc make me ill to my stomach and I feel so sorry for them. I really hope that you can start eating again and regain your control. Eating disorders have a way of making us feel like we are in control because we are controlling our weight, look etc but the eating disorder is controlling us. I hope you can find the strength you need to get your control. I wish you the best of luck.
I was wondering if the reason you stopped eating was soley because of your mothers remarks or if there is anything more then that?
my mum's always been smaller than mme EVEN when she was pregnant....which my mum keeps insinuating i am. also my exboyfriend called me fat. i wanna be thin but i have sort of like a hour glass figure.... my female friends are tall and skinny.
