I lost 43 pounds because of my eating disorder was so controlling in just 5 months. I've put on 7 pounds in the last 6 weeks because I started to use alcohol to escape and I would drink sugary alcho pops and ciders with high sugar content. I was drunk more then double my daily calories alone just in alcohol a day. Now my ed is telling me how fat and ugly I am, how worthless I am cos I'm fat. I can't see how my boyf can even look at me how I am. I'm in the healthy weight range but this isn't good enough. I want and must be underweight. So all I'm going to do is eat baby food. 500 calories a day. I know it will effect my mood, I know it will effect my work but I don't care I will and must be thinner.

Look, I don't think you should deviate from your normal weight. I don't think you look fat at your normal height. You don't need to listen to people who call you that, and if a guy thinks you're fat and ugly, you're just wasting your time with him. If you want to look better, start eating right, work out at the gym, and run in the morning. Get your emotional health in order, love yourself. You need to be your friend, not your enemy. Baby food is not the best option, but if you still continue to eat it, then this is good https://anyorganics.com/19-holle-goat-formulas, I buy for my son, it's good.

Sorry for what you're going through, Sarah. I had weight loss surgery in Dec. of 2018, as you know, for my eating problem that came from obesity. I had to drink protein drinks for food for a month after surgery, and then graduated to baby food next, doctor's orders. I remember it well. Take care, ok? We're with you.

I've been awful lonely lately. One of my best friends has just gone home from a month long trip to see her children. I'm letting her reacclimate to being home and spend time with her fiance. My other good friend has been distant. He's going through a lot both mentally and with his family. I'm giving him space as well. Now I just feel lonely. I call dad every day when he gets off work. He has a...
