News of Anorexia Nervosa Forum

Hey everyone,
My name is Alanna and I am recovering from Anorexia. I have been around a normal (minimum for height) weight for about 4 years, but I still find it hard to maintain energy and tend to get cold really easily. I haven't always been sensible about recovering and have had times when I have known and rectified these behaviours. I was wondering if anyone else has these feelings while they are recovering?

I Think im getting better, now i dont feel so guilty after eating.. but the thing is i think my body has already get used to eat less. So i can't let go of the idea of make a fast (not eating) but i dont think i'll make it.. maybe 1 day, which wont be any helpfull.. omg this totally sucks i wish i could feel full without eating.. but im always hungry.. so thats ...

I am not 100% sure how you can tell if someone has anorexia nervosa, and I would like to know. A close friend of mine(Erica*) used to suffer from it, but she is so much better now and I know she is for sure her boyfriend (another very close friend of mine Brad*)is so protective of her and how she eats and looks at her self.

So I just need to know the symptoms of ...

Hey, I'm new to the forum, but I came across this video on YouTube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLLXNXoBTFg. I thought it was really inspiring about how real women are happy with themselves for who they are. It's all about body image and it shows some pretty scary statistics. Everyone should check it out!

Apparently, the link between body image and eating disorders is quite strong. Maybe something we should all focus on is rejecting the media's image of ...

First, I'm going to state that I understand very well how dangerous an eating disorder such as anorexia is. It can completely destroy someone's life, which is exactly what it's doing right now.
For a long time now, a few months, I've noticed that my girlfriend has been acting different. It was gradual, but now she almost never seems happy, and she's lost her personality. She just acts like she's somewhere else, like she's not ...

Okay, this is going to be interesting I promise.

Two years ago I was diagnosed with Anorexia, my doctor sent me to a therapist and started me on an antidepressant. Through a few months with the therapist and the meds I felt like I was getting better, I didn't care so much about my body image etc. Since then I've been relapse free... until now.

I don't even understand why all those old feelings seemed ...

I understand that an eating disorder is a serious thing. I do not want to develop one. However at times I am scared that I could be developing one. I know I am not overweight through BMI. I just don't like my body. I write down every single calorie I eat, the second after I eat it. I have to work out everyday or else I start to freak out and I just have to ...

I noticed I had gone back to regular eating again, even more than usual, and starting to eat less and less.

Does it end?
