I used to be anorexic a year ago.... this week I starved myself for 3 days. I ate 400-550 calories. I have sworn to my family AND TO MYSELF to never do it again. But my mom wanted me to tell you all and I'm sure my therapist would want me to as well. I guess I just need to vent and need some support. I was bloated and was depressed about it and just wanted the weight off so bad. I was so sad and frustrated with the number... But now I WANT to do it right and I WANT to do it slow. Please forgive me everyone...

It'll be okay. I forgive you! Don't forget to forgive yourself too. It doesn't matter so much that it happened; what really matters is how you're going to respond to it. (It sounds a little cliche, but seriously!) Don't let it get you down, just get back up on your feet ASAP!
Thanks very much you too! I was worried how people would respond to this. It helps a lot just knowing I have some place to go and talk about it and also at the same time have a place where people help keep me on track of healthy dieting

Wolf girl you have my support 100% . I'm a bit opposite, sometimes I will eat so much, I can't hardly breath, and I do feel really bad when I do things like that to myself. Either way we have to remind ourselves to get back on track as soon as possible and let it be done with. We will win this battle together. I wish u well on our journey!

You have my support too! Honestly I have never been anorexic but I can see how easy it would be to get there. Just today I was entering my exercise on mfp and hit that I was done for the day when I wasn't. It said in 5 weeks I would weigh 262. That's down 35 pounds. That came on a week when I have only lost.2 pounds. I logically know that isn't the right way or healthy way but I would be lying if I said it wasn't a tempting thought.

Thank you so much! Yes once you've gone there the thought will always linger. Even if just a little bit. Usually I can ignore and brush it off with ease but this week was hard. It can be quite tempting. Especially when your on a diet.
