hi, everyone, i feel i need a place to vent, so i joined this site bout 10 mins ago. i'm a 20 year old single mom. i started taking diet pills and over excercising at age 10. by 12, i was bulimic, by 15 i was anorexic. i had a minor heart attack when i was 15. by the mircle of god, when i was 16, after not having a period for over 2 years, i became pregnant and carried a full-term, beautiful, smart 9 lb. little boy. he wasn't even a month old and i had already started purging again. he is 4 now, and for the last 4 years i have been ok, i have had (eating) problems here and there, but nothing major. bout a month ago, i started dieting again, i've lost 12 lbs. everyone says i look great, to stop now, but i just can't. its all i think bout, my life revolves around it, and i hate it. my son has caught me purging before, and tells me i need to go to the doctor if i have a tummy ache. it breaks my heart every time. i want more kids but i know with what my body has been through that it will be hard. i'm also so terrified that if i have a girl, and not ever fully recover, that i will have a daughter with an eating disorder one day, because of stuff her mommy has done. i know i probably sound nuts right now, but this stuff is just tearing me apart inside. if anyone has any words of wisdom, please let me know, thanx for reading this.

It sounds like you are like most of us and the only way you know how to "diet" is the bad way. I'd recommend no more diet. Go back to what you were doing before 1 month ago and maintain your 12 pound weight loss and keep your heart healthy with a doctor-approved excersize regimine. I know, easier said than done but you don't want to go back to the health problems you had when you were 15.
