One problem I keep having is doctors not putting me on treatment programmes because my BMI isnt low enough for me to be considered as having what could be called a 'proper' eating disorder. My BMI is 19 which is low but not low enough for treatment-however the reason I havnt dropped low enough is because of the yo-yo nature of my dieting. Like I wont eat for a fortnight but then I'll binge for the week afterwards or I'll go for a week of throwing up everything that I eat. I'm still causing huge amounts of damage to my body but I'm denied treatement because I dont fit thier little model. I even had a nurse look at me when I mentioned that I was suffering from an eating disorder and go 'are you sure? youre a bit heavy arent you?'.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
to an extent i'm self-helping, reading books and just talking to my one therapist as i don't feel as though i'm getting any support from most other people. the books are really good and give me solace a lot of the time.
