Help

Okay i was dx with anorexia nervosa back in march and since then i have gained weight and weigh about 111 lb. and frankly i hate being at this weight...i look fat and ugly but when i lose weight i feel bad, but when i gain i feel terrible too....

How tall are you?

Are you male or female?

Why do you feel terrible? because you feel fat or too skinny? Look, gaining weight is a good thing, unless you gain too much. Losing weight is a good thing, unless you lose too much.

Peace,

Gain 20 pounds.

Then you'll be average weight.

"Just gain weight."

It's not that simple is it?

That's because Anorexia is a mental illness, there are things you can't control. Everything goes out of control. (Trust me I know, I dealt with Anorexia from age 13-20.)

What I have learned from my experience and my psychiatrist is that you can feel completely better if you get your brain well.

Psychotherapy, medicine, and vitamins are things that have a great positive effect on Anorexia.

Read my What Changed Everything to see what I did; I just took a vitamin and my Anorexia went away. I was deficient in it, like many Anorexics are. That was my problem.

Then the thoughts, feelings, and actions disappeared.

You can get well, fight to heal your brain so you can be both healthy and happy with how you look.

I now think I'm pretty, after thinking i was so ugly for so many years.

God bless you,
