this is very personal for me to share, but I had been severely anorexic for about 4 months now and my parents are forcing me to recover. I am absolutely terrified of gaining weight and need to prevent this or I will relapse. How do I keep the weight off?

My sister is suffering from anorexy,too. Well, first of all I think you need a doctor who helps you see yourself as you are because people like you have wrong imagination of themselves. and if u are that thin as an anorexy person, then you must get some weight. My sister has to get 5 kg minimum to be healthy otherwise, she has to go to the hospital. Her menses stopped and who knows what she caused for her whole body. so u are quite in a dangerous situation, I personally advise you to go to a psychologist as my sis did to first be fine in your mind and then you will see that u need to get some weigt and you will still be very slim and cute!

I am only like 3 pounds underweight, so I don't really feel the need to gain weight. I do see doctors, but they don't help. I actualy started this because I needed to lose weight and I don't feel as though I would be happy with my appearance if I did gain weight.

I have had anorexia and bullima for about 35 1/2 years now. I to was terrified that if I ate anything I would gain weight. What I did to my body was so bad that it took me about 3 mos. of eating really well and keeping it down to see that I stayed almost the exact same weight give or take 2 to 3 pounds, and I looked and felt so much better. It really is all about excepting who you are, and feeling good about yourself. No one can make you happy unless your make yourself happy. It took me 35 1/2 years to learn this. Your going to be finw. Take baby steps. You'll feel so much better about you. Just take it one day at a time, good days and bad, know that your going to be okay.

Ps. I'm sorry if I sound rude but anorexic people tend to be more judgmental of others and they support the media by trying to create the ideal image for woman as long as Theirs people like you well never be free of their mind control

Excuse me. First of all, this is a serious problem. Second of all, I find it extremely rude for you to accuse me of judging others by their bodies, I do not judge other people by their looks more than anyone else does. Thirdly, you have just made a huge generalization and have judged ME by this, not te other way around. I was extremely susceptible to this disorder because I have been severely depressed for several years. To all other people who have had to read this, I apoligize. I was overweight before I developed this disorder and my own family's cryptic comments lead me to hate my body. Who are you to judge me and other people with this disorder?

i'm confused by your original question. If you recover from Anorexia, then yes, I think you will gain weight. You need to speak with your parents and tell them how you feel so that they may get you the right kind of help. a specialists perhaps. I think you need to think about how it is you became this way in the first place. Why did you decide to become anorexic? Did the idea come from friends? You also need to understand the damage that you have done to your body. You are hurting yourself your body. I dont know what you believe in (religiously) but i do believe that things like anorexia, cutting, drug abuse, and even schizophrenia are from the devil. I believe that the devil does not want anyone to be happy and he will stop at nothing to steal your joy. Think about it, you are worried about gaining weight but how much of your time does it really consume? Almost every waking moment youre probably thinking about what you can and cannot eat and or not eating at all. and I know you have cravings foods that you used to eat but feel you cant anymore, its crazy (im not trying to be mean to you) but Im sure worrying is stressfull and stress can kill you too! Dont make the devils job easy for him. You gotta stop him in his tracks. Tell him to leave you alone! Look what you let him do to you. look at your situation. Where is there a win/win solution? There isnt one. If you continue on the way you are now, then you will die a stressfull, painful, and slow death in the mean time you ll be worried about eating, gaining, how you look (which btw your beauty will begin to fade if it hasnt already) Its not worth it. Tell me where is the happiness in that. Love yourself girl. Your parents do. God does too. Thats why he gives you a new day every day to do things right. I know you hear what Im saying. Make yourself happy, not the devil. Stop stressing yourself out, stop damaging your body and mind. Come on surfergirlsam, Im rooting for YOU! Regain your weight, re gain your health, re gain your happiness!

I think you should listen to your parents and get some help, you may look at yourself as fat but that isn't what your body is showing, this can kill you. I know somebody who went through this and was scared to gain wieght and was afraid to get help.....BUT, she did and she is wonderful now, she is at a healthy weight, not fat, just the right body size for her type. Her parents took lots of pics of her before, showing her how skinny she was and how sick she looked. It wasn't until after she had help and recovered that she truley saw herself as near death in the pictures. She used to look at pictures and see a fat person but in reality she had no fat on her. You really need to get help before it takes over you life and ends up killing you. Please listen, too many people become so untuned to their bodies that they slip deeper and deeper (thinking they have control) in reality they have no control and they end up in the grave. Talk to your parents, they care, they love you, they are asking you to get help so listen to them and gain some weigth and do not worry about the weight.

whatever, its obvious that this isnt about weight, you just want attention and for people to feel sorry for you. Get over yourself and stop a drama queen is my advice

Beauty31, it's my opinion, since you are sharing yours so freely, that you are buying yourself a one way ticket to hades by talking to and about people like this.
