Advice to overcome Anorexia

first off you obviously KNOW you have a problem..reight? or you wouldnt be asking for advice. you need to know why you think your fat… is it b/c there is pressure from your family?? did someone say something to make you think this way?did anyone ever say this was okay?? or is it just the industry? but I know that most of the time it is b/c you dont feel secure about yourself.. sounds to me like you need a good suport system of friends.. you have already made the 1st step by admiting to youself that you have a problem and the 2nd step by trying to get help the only way to really get over this is to develop over time a healthier way of thinking about yourself feel free to e-mail me if you ever need to talk hun…

oh dear honey…I watched my best friend go through this same thing. our friend ship even started to fade because I felt like she didn’t love me anymore. she had no desire to hang out much anymore and when she did I felt like I was always on eggshells trying not to say the wrong thing that might hurt her feelings or trigger a crying episode. sometimes I saw her as this little child who was deserate for a nap just because she was so crabby all the time. hun, I think you are the only one who can choose to create your life. your everyday. what do you want? you want to keep track in your schedule? you want to be put in a hospital and have a feeding tube jammed down your throat until you start to gain weight against your will? probably not! choose for your self! become healthy! STOP FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF AND BE THANKFUL FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL BODY, SPIRIT, AND HEART! you are born from a womb, your parents made you! your are a part of your family who loves you and so do your friends. I promise you that they are constantly crying and praying for your health and all you can do is stay afraid of getting fat. become healthy for yourself. your body needs some fuel. its going to take everymorning getting up and making that decision. whats it going to be? you have to choose the attitude to get you through it. you are in a hard time. I have taught dance for several years and have had lots of my students suffer though this too. concentrate on the things you love about yourself. if you don’t know of any, then you better get to trying really hard and find something!!! start doing service even if its little like holding a door for the next person and smiling at them. you should feel a little self satifaction after things like that. its not all about you and the way you look…all the time… you need to try your hardest and love your self. if you can’t do that, then you can’t love others and that is the center of our purpose. whats your purpose? I am sure its not how much you weigh or what you see when you look in the mirror. tough love! funmail me anytime sister! I am hear if need any pep talks!

ok, the only advice I can give about overcoming anorexia is that if you are ready and only if you are ready then you will overcome it but it will take time as it is an illness. but wanting to recover is the first step. I know how you feel I am in a situation where im being threatened to recover but im not ready yet. good luck take care x
