Hi all hope everyone is ok. Just a little intro about me. Years ago in my early 20's i suffered from and overcame anorexia and laxative abuse. Had always done really well til about 2 1/2 mths ago when me and my STBX husband began having difficulties. I began eating less and less until I basically stopped eating. I was suffering from chronic nausea, vomiting and diarrhea Since the end of November I have lost almost 45lbs. I was also diagnosed with a faulty gall bladder, but I KNOW thats not the real reason for the weight loss so rapidly. The good thing is I was overweight to begin with so at least I am not looking skeletal at this point. But people have noticed the big weight loss so quick.
At this time I do not abuse laxatives I just dont eat. I know I have a problem. I am in therapy for dealing with the crap about divorce. I have not brought up my ED at this point. I actually just really realized yesterday, that's the problem. When I started thinking just 15-20 more pounds then I will start eating again. I am so set in what I have been doing I no longer even feel hunger. I have been trying to eat a bit here and there but I get full so fast or I get nauseous. I've tried little meals, foods I really like.etc Any other suggestions out there?
Thanks
