Hi basically i need abit of guidence, i had anorexia when i was younger like between 13 and 17 and never went for treatment or anything and i felt as if it had gone away to a certain extent but recently (im now 21) ive been finding myself sliping into old habits, been counting calories and this may sound odd but i feel as though i only eat when something important needs to be done i.e. essays or impressing my freinds. ive been really scared that my hairs started thinning but im petrofied to do or say anything. thing is i feel as though im a lard ass and all the anorexia stuff just in my head. i dont know whether im in denial or just being narotic. please if anyone has any advice or anything then it would be welcomed!!!

Negative thoughts will only lead to relapses! You would really benefit by going to counseling (only a specialist of ED's) Join an OA group so you can find people with your same thoughts and feelings. Also find a dietitian to help you make a meal plan so you'll know how many calories your body really needs because everyone is different, Take care!

My advice: Get help now! Therapy, dietitian, psychologist. Talk to your parents for help, or another close adult that you trust. If you are in school see if there is counselling on campus.

Don't let yourself spiral back into that crap- you know how bad it is. :( Take care of yourself, and we'll be here to cheer you on. /hugs

    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...
