Hello everyone!

I USED TO BE ANOREXIC. iT STARTED WHEN I WAS 14 YEARS OLD. IT STARTED WITH CUTTING OUT SNACKS TO EXCERISING DRAMATICLY AND STARVING MYSELF. i HAD THE ED FOR 2 YEARS. IT WAS A LONG ROAD TO RECOVERY BUT WITH THE HELP OF THIS WEBSITE AND ALL THE PEOPLE ON THE MESSAGE BOARDS SUPOPORTING ME I GOT THROUGH IT. IT WAS HARD AND I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I COULD RECOVER BUT I DID AND IT WAS THE BEST THING THAT I HAVE EVER DONE. THERE IS MORE TO LIVE THEN THINKING ABOUT FOOD ALL THE TIME AND WORRYING ABOUT WEIGHT.

I AM FULLY RECOVERED NOW AND I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL CALLED LILLY. SHE IS EVERYTHING TO ME AND IF I DIDNT GET RID OF THE ED THEN I WOULD NEVER HAVE HER.

YOU CAN GET THROUGH THIS. TRY AND NOT LISTEN TO THE VOICE IN YOUR HEAD. LISTEN TO YOUR HEART AND YOU WILL DO IT.

I KNOW THAT IT IS VERY HARD BUT ANOREXIC KILLS YOU. GET OUT OF IT BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.

IF ANY OF YOU NEED A CHAT OR SUPPORT IM HEER AND I WILL HELP YOU THROUGH THIS.EVERYONE ON HERE IS SUPPORTIVE AND THAT IS GOOD. KEEP IT UP DARLINS AND YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS HORRBLE ED.

ALL MY LOVE

TAKE CARE

LOVE STACEY

Hi there,

Thank you so much for your post...it made me cry because I am sooo happy for you.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby.  You must be so proud and Lilly is such a beautiful name.

You are such an inspiration to many people on these boards and I admire you so much for managing to recover.

I have been anorexic for almost 2 years now and I just feel totally stuck and don't know how to recover.  i don't think I will eveer get there and I seem to struggle and have a constant battle with food every day.  How did you manage to challenge your anorexia?  I just can't seem to give it up and it is really bringing me down because I would love to have a good future and be happy but I know that I won't achieve that while I am like this. 

Thank you so much for showing that it is possible to recover.

magic wishes xxx

magic wishes-

you need to think to yourself, look at all the pain and suffering the vocie has put you thru, not being able to do all the normal things you could do. making you sad, and miserable. i was sittin gon rest one day thinking to mysefl. omg, look what the vocie has done to me, so i found some strength inside of myself to fight it! i was so determined to get rid of it, and i was not gunna let it beat me.

and i did, as the weight cam eon i felt SO much better, and i didnt feel or look fat, i felt happy and healthy, and i got strong the voice got weak! and eventually it went for good!

 

JUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!
