wrong forum....this is a forum for those recovering from an eating disorder...not want for those wanting one. I don't want to be rude but posts like this trigger me and piss me off.

well I'm sorry you feel bad...but if you are recovering from ED you are most likely not as big as you think you are...just keep going the healthy way..good luck..(I used to think I was big too, but now I look back and man was I wrong....)

Ok, reptilemom, I dont think megiepoo is in the wrong forum, she is just expressing her frustration with gaining weight, we all have this frustration. and you know what alot of things on this website trigger people, so get over it. Megiepoo, I understand howit feels to try on old pants from the old ed days and they dont fit, but please realize you were sick and try not try on those pants anymore it will only bring heart ache. :) MUch love

Ahh honey, I understand, the same thing happened to me.

Just remember, like others said, you truly are not has big as you believe you are. Once you get used to your new figure a little more, you'll see it for what it really is, and not otherwise :) And believe me, it won't be as bad as it seems now. hang in there.

when i got out of in patient, one of the first things i did when i got back home was get rid of all the pants that fit me when i was at my low weight. i do not own anything during that time period that doesn't fit me.

i suggest getting rid of the clothes that are too small. having them around is dangerous and trying them on can lead to relapses.

Can you talk to your doctor to exchange your meds. That's my condition for anything I take that it doesn't make me gain weight. One doctor lied to me once - I never went back to him.
About the pants that's probably a good thing since you need to gain weight. But you should gain it on your and your nutritionist's schedule not the medication's. Maybe you can see it as a chance to go on shopping spree. I know you probably feel terrible. That's why I don't buy clothes that are tight.
And regtilemom I think you got a little overexited there. She is just upset and asking for support.

Megiepoo, I have to agree with the others gaining weight is my worst fear. It keeps ED alive and roaring in my head. I had a similar experience on Friday I put on my favorite jeans from when Ed had total control and they felt tight. It was a huge trigger for me and I spent the rest of the day bfighting off ED. I understand the Med thing too. I agree with Karrin, ask the docs about something else. the worst thing a doc can do to an Ed patient is put us on a med that makes us gain too fast. BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF AND DO NOT ALLOW OTHERS TO JUDGE YOU.

I agree 100% with Sophie. There's nothing more triggering than clothes that don't fit. I don't know all of your details, so I'll leave it at that. Good luck. XO

The reason why I got upset was because when I checked her profile, there was NO mentioning of an ED, and there have been a number of posts from people who don't have an ED, but wishing they did. I apologize if I upset or offended anyone, this was not my intention.

I'm sorry Megiepoo....I did not want to be so harsh....I've just been feeling the same way I suppose and felt very frustrated....and to anyone I have offended, please accept my sincere apology...
