[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 522403, member: 13542"] UAN, you've received some very important information from others which I sincerely hope you can listen to. When I was a lot younger, I too suffered with anorexia, so I can empathize with your situation. I understand how you must have felt blindsided by the dietitian. However, everything Houndog told you about the medical implications of anorexia is true. I believe your first priority is to get better. I believe the first step in that is to pull yourself out of your own level of denial of how serious this is and find a way to get help[U] immediately[/U]. I don't mean to sound harsh or unfeeling, but as Houndog has mentioned, the medical community is telling you how serious this is and my strong feelings are you need to listen. For me, this issue was about coming out of my own perception of myself, which was very, very low, in fact, feeling as if I did not deserve love or kindness, similar to what I hear you saying. From my vantage point now, looking back, it was self abuse. I can't make that assumption about you, however, some of the things you are saying sound familiar. I am 5'7 and I weighed 87 pounds at the worst part of the anorexia. I was literally [I]disappearing, [/I]getting smaller and smaller. I really understand where you are. I had to learn to love myself and take care of myself, it was a journey, but the alternative is staying sick and/or dying from this illness. You deserve love just like anyone else does. Your sister and husband are attempting to help you, as is the dietitian, even though she handled it badly. None of this is your fault. You didn't do anything wrong. You have an illness and, in my opinion, you are the only one who can make the choice to get well and stop this cycle. Please get the help that is being offered to you. Your life is precious. You are precious. You deserve to be healthy and happy and thriving. [/QUOTE]
