I'm so frustrated, I don't know what to do with myself. I'm back in this "starvation" hole, and I can't seem to crawl out of it. I feel like a crazy person, arguing with myself to eat SOMETHING....ANYTHING. But this huge battle in my head is stopping me...giving me excuses..."later....later...no..no..too fattening...every bite will add weight..." I never win. My intellect knows I should not be doing this, but my emotions speak differently and usually win. I don't know what to do to get out of this....I HAVE to get out of this...and soon. For the sake of my daughters..I DON'T want to continue like this!

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...
Today you wrote you put of eating to the next day and then to the next day because you think you are fat and can't see in the mirror all the weight you lost. So I think you know you have an ED. Be honest with yourself, even if you can't be with others.

Until about a week ago, I had never admitted to anyone, not even myself that I might have an ED. I sat back and read posts, and after relating to alot of this stuff, I can admit that these are characteristics or traits that I possess. If you can say the same, then you should admit it - to yourself, and to others.
I actually admitted it today to a doctor for the first time. Although it was nerve racking, my pulse was racing because I was afraid of what he would say - I was generally surprised at his reaction. He was very supportive, sympathetic and helpful. He is recommending me to a group counselling session to 'see if it's for me or not'. Maybe you could do the same...
After all, I'd hate to read a post in a year from now with you saying one of your daughters are showing signs or symptoms...
Thanks
Please don't feel like you offended anyone....you helped me out more than you know...
I went through just about all of this, exactly as you described it. Accepting it was so hard for me, just like you said.
Even after I'm out of inpatient and pretty normal again, I still have my thoughts and doubts of ED too. You're not, not, not alone. Anything but.
I'm glad you talked to your hubby and pledged honesty... huge step! Keep strong, you have my full support =)
