Hi :) I recently joined today so thought I would say hello first!
I have been struggling with Anorexia for 4 years now, and I am really struggling to come to terms with the weight gain. I am working through issues with my psychologist, but at the moment, I am finding it very hard to see the weight gain.
Looking back at the pictures, I do look shocking, and it scares me I was that thin, however at the moment, I feel totally huge, and struggling to come to terms with it at the moment.
=( I just want to look in the mirror and accept and be happy with how I look. I am still * under what I should be, but i've put on nearly * and just struggling to deal with it at the moment.
xx

Aw hunni it must b really bad 4 u 2 feel like this! But its gonna b difficult 2 c urself 4 wat u really look like. It will get better nd do u no wat? -its gr8 that uve got help. Thats a good time 2 get all this off ur chest too!
Its fab that u recognise how shocking the pics were and its brill that uve moved on! Ive still got a long way 2 go, ur doin really well. Dont give up!
Think about ur best features wen u look in tha mirror. Stuff like:
My hair looks really nice 2dai
I deserve 2 treat myself good cos i look brill
Im worth every compliment i get and alot more
Stuff like sayin that will help u 2 see more positivly.

I don't get why weight gain scares me, I'm so thin and I look in the mirror and get really upset, I can see my bones everywhere, my mum nearly cried when she saw me and I just want to be better but I have so much to put on and sometimes it's really hard to viualise me at a healthier weight. I worry the weight gain will be too fast for me and I won't be comfortable!!
But I know as I gain weight I will be able to do so much more and feel better, it's just I feel lazy when I'm in the house all day and have to eat lots,
