Well a little about my problem. I was always told I was fat, nickname was "Piggy" I have seen pics of me when I was younger and I was skinny, however I never can let go of the image that i'm overwieght. I go days without eatting, and when I do eat I fill up quickly, if I don't eat I get the whole dizzyness and shakes. Don't get me wrong I like food I just can't eat it.

Part of me wants to eat, somtimes I have to be forced to eat, I just can't get over the whole fat issue.

Does anyone have some advice/

That is common with Eating disorders... We all see ourselves distorted. My advice would be to see a counselor who specializes with eating disorders and get set up with a nutritionist who can help you determine what your body needs daily. It's a hard cycle to break but is totally worth it! Good luck.

You have all the symptoms of a general anoreic. the best advice i can offer you is to think that people will accpet you no matter how you look, be it skinny or chubby, so dont be affraid to be who you realy are. I can reccomend that you read the book "Skinny Boy" it will be right up your alley.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
