[QUOTE="1905, post: 594886, member: 2668"] I was treated off and on for this for a few years, the latest time was just over a year ago, my lowest weight was 87 last year. I'm 5'3. I have a problem around excercise, I can never do it because I overdo it. I'm active enough in my life and I don't want to go down that rabbit hole again. It's an obsession, it gets out of hand and then you lose your mind....literally, your brain shrinks and you can't understand things or think clearly. But all the while you think there are flaws in your figure. Nobody can tell her otherwise she has to come to her own conclussions, just tell her you love her and she is perfect as is. I know I would resent anyone telling me that, also I thought they were just jealous. But, every once in a while I would see a tiny glimmer of the truth in the mirror. That is when I would try to get help. I was never the youngest one at the hospitals I had been treated at. Certain things stuck with me, a young college girl had no colon, it basically died when she abused laxatives, she had a colostomy bag. She was a college student. During the surgery she had a stroke and now has a very unsteady gait, also she had a feeding tube in her stomach because when they removed the colon, her stomach could not keep down food (all part of the same system), so she "ate" at night hooked up to a bag of liquid. This all happened 8 months before I met her, she was there because the hope was that eventually her stomach would start to work on it's own. This girl was not skinny at all by the way. She scared me, people do not realise what they do themselves. I hope I stay healthy. I am enjoying food and life---it's not worth injuring myself. [/QUOTE]
