Too much water

[shelz]

He most certainly does. The most supportive fiance a girl could ever want. He is encouraging me so much, giving me positives when all I am doing is criticising and being negative. He is my world.

Along with Dave, the wedding and the babies we plan for the future I am fiting it. I know I will never be alone, but I feel it is going to be a long and daunting process.

I shall keep the forum posted.

Keep the babies in mind when you have low days. Know that getting your body as healthy as possible will only benefit your future- and your childrens? My world would be a whole different place if I didn't have my girls, and they've certainly been the 'kick in the ass' I've needed sometimes when I waver?
You CAN do it Shelz. I know you were avoiding here, but it is also a place where you can get support? Most of us are still trying to lose, but a lot of us also having problems with food- aka eating disorders, so we CAN sympathise with the demons you're fighting? So don't be afraid to come on here if you're having a bad day to vent, or just want a virtual hug? xx

Thanks IrishMum. It means a lot. I know I am going to have good and bad days. I think the sun is really going to make this a good one. =D x

I've just read this thread, and I'm worried about you honey. But so glad that you're going to get some help.

I think you've been given great advice by everyone, and I'm sure you'll get things back on track. Well done for asking for help, because that's so hard to do.

I am really pleased to see that you are getting the help you need. I will be checking in to see how you are doing. Just take things one day at a time xxx

I think this is something a lot of people are in the danger of happening to them but not many would be brave enough to post. When we diet we change our views on food so much and can become slightly obsessed with counting points or cal's or whatever type of diet your doing and sometimes its hard to know when to stop.

I am sure there are people who have read this post and thought "thats me..." so by posting this Im sure you are helping other people.

Its difficult for all of us to admit we have a problem with food, be it eating too much or eating too little and easy to ignore it (hence how I ended up 6 stone over weight...) so well done for seeking help, I really hope you manage to get things sorted so you can get back to a healthy weight.

Its very brave of you and good luck x x

I'm so glad you're getting help. 15 years ago i was annorexic and i know from personal experience the hardest thing is to admit there's something wrong and to get help. You've taken that step and now you will get the help you need to be healthy and happy with a weight that's right for your body. Good luck hunny and please remember we're here for you and talking about it really does help to heal.

Sparklebug - how did you overcome your annorexia. This is the second time I have been this weight in three years =( Inbetween I ballooned to 13 Stone. Now my worry is I am going to balloon drastically again.

to be honest the desire to never go back to that dark place and let it control my life. There have been times when i could have easily gone back to it, April 28th was one of them when my brother died but i was determined not to fall back into bad habits.

I also have photos of christmas lunch where everyone around the table had food in front of them, i didn't even have a plate and i looked so ill, i can't believe that i ever thought i was fat. I still remember that i couldn't even be in the house whilst the food was cooking as it made me sick. Nothing in this life is worth making ourselves that miserable, sad and unhealthy, we are worth more than that, we deserve a healthy life and that means eating healthy food and the occasional norty food, as long as we get the balance right.

If you've got any photos of yourself when you were at your thinnest, have good look at them and i mean a good look, they should shock you and then think of why you don't want to back to that dark place, back to when food and not eating and at times unbearable hunger controled your life, think of the life that's ahead of you, a fantastic life that worth living, your partner, any future children you may have. Think of all the positives that are to come in the times ahead.

I know this sounds preachy etc but this post is from my heart and i really want you to be healthy and happy, you deserve it, you really do ♥♥

i'd get a new doctor if they were happy with your 600 calories a day!! hope things are going better for you now. not sure how old this thread is. wish you all the best anyway and hope you get the right advice.

never had any experience with anorexia but seeing the poor souls on supersize vs superskinny is enough to tell me how tough it is.

have you been diagnosed with anorexia do you mind me asking?

No I havent, but I have reached 102lbs.
