I know that this is a really late reply, but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone! Right now I'm dealing with that as well. I should've been 8 months pregnant now...yet I'm not. I also lost my baby around 12 or 13 weeks and it sucks. It still sucks. It was hard to deal with then...

thanks for the replies guys oddbeani, you can definitely find support here. I've never liked how they have a 'weight requirement' to have a disorder. I don't think the weight should matter, because a lot of times the ones that aren't severely underweight are the ones that end up having the most...

Speaking to your pastor should help quite a bit. Even just getting to get your thoughts and feelings out can help. Stay strong and just remember to focus on the future. Anything in the past doesn't 'have' to control your future, you can have a better future! As for an update for me...well...

thanks for the welcome everyone!! Definitely hang in there ladybug, you can do it! Certainly glad that you have been keeping up with your meals soulwings! That's awesome, keep up that strength! (sorry if I forgot any other replies here) As for how I'm doing, well, off and on again, just all...

That also depends on what you mean by 'feeling' like eating, a lot of times people will be hungry, yet not "feel' like eating because of whatever reason. At those times it's not really good to not eat. I know there are different circumstances to everyone's story, so it is between that person and...

Hey everyone, basically shall get to introducing myself, as I'm sure most will be wondering who I am :-P But I shall get to that part. Anywho, first I wanted to say that you all seem like very strong people. It may not seem like it, but you are because you are all here right now, today. It may...

Thank you for your reply :-) As of right now I do not have a therapist, haven't had one since I got out of IOP. The problem if my dr does suggest this (which I'm sure your right he will) is finding the time to go see them. It's hard enough keeping up with school and work, though I'm trying. My...

OK, so I haven't really posted in quite a long time, though I have made a couple replies. I guess right now, I'm just trying to figure out what to do with myself at this point. I've struggled with an eating disorder for 4-5 years now, though have had problems with food since I was 4 yrs old...

That's the spirit girl!! I will definitely also be praying that you will find the right person for counseling and that you will find the underlying causes and the way to get through this hard time. I have faith in you and I know God has faith in you. Bravo btw for seeking the advice and the...

I would have to say that just promising isn't going to do anything. I've tried it myself, while it may work for a short while, in the end it crashes down beneath you. I've heard other people that have had the same problem as well. The main reason it fails is because the food is not the issue, if...

Having an ED myself, I would have to say you already have one too. You don't have to be deathly skinny and you don't have to constantly restricting your food. But your thoughts seem to lead to you having one, especially the one of not wanting to eat as little as possible in fear you will get...

I definitely agree with you. I actually got this game for Christmas, and it's not really that violent at all, especially in comparison to the movies and such. It is hard, however, to get fully into the game, because you don't get to fully make all the decisions. In order to complete each level...

You Have Low Self Esteem 96% of the Time You're definitely in a low place right now, but you also know deep down that you can get out of your funk. Take a chance and make a new friend or try a new interest. Shaking things up will give you the self-esteem boost you need!

I never have. I've never celebrated lent, but I have wanted to use just a normal fast as an excuse not to eat. This year, since my boyfriend will not let me just not eat, I'm trying to do so eat as little as possible and the least fatty stuff. Like I wanted to only be able to drink water, not be...

Thanks, good luck to you as well. It is always good to have a degree to fall back on. I wanted to get a degree in Communications: Computer Graphics, but with already 2 majors I don't know, maybe if I take it after I get my youth ministry degree. I guess only God and time will tell.
