Sorry to hear about your cousin Lors. Ive never had an eating disorder but my mum was very worried when I was at uni. I was losing weight like crazy and it wasnt because I was dieting or exercising, it was just all that running around and the fact that the darn psych books where on the 5th floor of the library!

No I haven't had an eating disorder but a friend of mine did. I hated watching her just waste away, I had to tell her family in the end I couldn't sit back and do nothing. It was all over a bloke she thought if she was thin he would fancy her :roll: . Eventually she got it sorted out :-|

Yes I had an eating disorder for a couple of years when I was aged between 18-20.

I used to make myself sick and dropped from a size 12-14 to a size 8.

I am still to this day really conscious about my weight and the only time I really didn't care was when I was pregnant.

I am very slim size 10 now and do eat what I want but it was awful because I used to deny myself food and if I did eat, make myself sick.

Not very proud of myself but it was one of those things at the time because a few years before, I tried to commit suicide and although I got over that, this was the one thing that I could control.

I hope that your cousin gets to the bottom of her issues xx

Yeah I have.

Went through a tough break up last year and it hit me pretty hard and not eating made me feel better but it was the worse thing I ever i am slim as it is so my weight droped to just under 6 stone from 8 in just 1 month i was a size 8/10 but went right down to a size 4/6 I was bad. My clothes where hanging off me sometimes I was using safty pins to hold my trousers up.

Glad to say I meet Paul and things have got so much better for me and I am now a healthy 8 1/2 stone these days

Hi,

sorry to hear about your cousin Lors. I haven't had an eating disorder but when i was younger i was naturally very skinny and that was because i used to worry about the slightest thing, i used to eat enough to fill me up but was never sick, if i was worried about something i couldn't eat and it affected my weight. I used to have to use safety pins to pin my trousers to my tops so that they wouldn't fall.

Worst part was, my family thought i was suffering from an eating disorder, when i wasn't, even though i tried to explain they thought i was in denial. Even at school some of the girls would question if i was anorexic. People just didnt understand, my sister would stand outside the bathroom to hear if i was being sick, it was sweet of her to care, but it made me very paranoid.
