I wonder if anyone has any advise to help me.I have had anorexia for 2 years and now I am having to put on weight but all I can think about is the weight I am putting on and when I look in the mirror I feel sick.I want to get better but when I look in the mirror sometimes my anorexia thoughts creep back and I want to start to loose weight again!
Does anyone else feel like this?

hiya,
ive only recently started having issues with food, ive only really noticed it getting really bad other the last few months but since about a year ago i have been watching what i eat and have been unhappy with my body weight. i havent been diagnosed with an eating disorder, only one person knows and i intend to keep it that way as i dont think its neccessary to get proffessional help at this stage.
as i dont have anorexia i dont know if itsnormal to feel like that. but it sounds very understandable. youve come so far though to be able to start putting on weight again, you really dont want to start going backwards you need to keep moving forwards. i understand how you feel about when you look in the mirrow i feel exactly the same, i am constantly worried out my body and my slef esteem is really low. do you have any one to talk to about these thoughts that you have been having about loosing weight again. are you eating normally and regulary? try not to let the old behaviour patterns creep back into your life because it will take hold of you again and then it will be a struggle to get back to where you are now.
be strong and your'll get through this, but remember it really helps to talk this through with other people whether it is on here on with a friend just let someone know how you are feeling and it will make things seem better at least for a little while.
take care

Thankyou for your message of support!
I hope that you soon begin to feel better soon however I know how difficult having issues with you weight it! If I can help in anyway ask me anything. I am trying to eat normally and I have nurses who come and watch me eat during the day.My mind is really mixed up right now about what I want whether I want to recover or loose more weight.When ever I put on weight I seem to loose it again sometimes more than I put on in the first place.
I am eating regualy but after feel extreme guilt and deppressed!
I have nurses and a dietition,phycologist ,phcotherapist and nurse who I can speak to but they can really solve my problems.
I will try talking to my family as well and using beat.
Take care
Jenny
