wow ! what a week, i wish i could say that telling my parents about my suffering was a positive thing, but i can't. Eversince i discussed my eating disorder with them, and i told them that i need professional help, they basically told me to pray about it, and ask God to take the illness away from me. The one thing that has happened, is the amount of teasing that i have been subjected to, has grown exponentially. My parents make it a point to tell me i am too thin every chance they get. I am not even skinny.. i am 5'0 and 88 lbs. = perfectly normal.I am excited, because i am now only 3 lbs. away from goal weight of 85, but i think that can be ammended to 80, since i am practically at my goal. I think that would be a good weight for me to maintain at. OOh tommorow, i am going power shopping and i am so anxious.!! i am getting new clothes, and i am going to have my dad load my starbucks card!!! As far as eating goes.. i haven't been doing much of it. I ate some cake yesterday, but i just couldn't deal with it in my body, so i got rid of it. I had a piece of cheese today, so i am trying. I figured it would just be pathetic to purge a piece of cheese.

Keep trying sweetie. What about your Aunt? Has she talked to your family yet? With or without their approval, you have got to get into treatment. Listen, don\'t use their lack of understanding as an excuse to let your ED go unchecked! I know that can be tempting, but their ignorance about this subject does not alleviate your need to be healthy.
