    ... but I don't want to think you're going to start starving yourself.

    Do you know, there's no worry of that, I'm such a pig that I couldn't even if I tried. I weighed 10 stone 2lbs this morning. I just feel sick to my stomach today. xx

    I wish I weighed that little :o I'm sure you're not as big as I am.

    But seriously, is the gym not an option? I was really scared the first time I went, but I actually really enjoy it now.

    I go for walks around campus, as the gym here is really small and always really crowded. I love walking by myself, collecting my thoughts :) thanks for being so nice xx

    Its ok, I just hope you feel better soon. Just try not to be so hard on yourself-easier said than done, I know.

    I'm ok-after a horrible few weeks I've decided I have to pull myself together a bit. OH couldn't come home over the weekend, and it was our anniversery, so I was really sad. I've made a decision to try and be positive and do enjoyable things though instead of moping and its doing me good.

    Been to an exercise class tonight, so I'm feeling ok about myself now

    Xx

    slowlyfading, its so better that you are eating now. As a child, through my teens and up until about a month ago I always had eating problems. I was stick thin and ppl use to worry about me. A lot of ppl actually thought I was anorexic but I wasnt i just never use to eat much. As a child, i would hide the food in my sleeve or give it to the dog, sometimes i managed to put it on my half brothers plate without him seeing and other times id give him 50p to eat my food. I did get smacked when I got caught. My mum would say my sons gonna be the same but am very lucky and blessed that he loves his food, veg and fruit. I told him from a young age that Im allergic to veg and some fruits(im not) so he doesnt ask why i dont eat.Before DS would say why aint u eating with me mum and i would say ive been eating while cooking or out some on a plate and pretend to eat.
    I could go days without eating and feel fine, just a little weak but since last month where ive stopped smoking ive swapped fags for food.I do feel bad coz i should eat healthy stuff instead of junk and stuff thats bad,i feel ive over eaten just to stop ppl nagging at me coz of how thin i was and my half brother has finally stopped moaning about me being thin but im just over 8st and cant even fit in my clothes i have,my jeans are so tight, my belly is like it has a baby in it, i dont like the way i feel and look but i never have.I look at the pics of me on facebook and the compliments i got but am nothing like that now.I do know i have to control the way i eat and start eating a little healthier. Atleast you like walking, thats a form of exercise hun, its not safe to walk round here, i dont like walking much unless its on a beach and we aint got one near by.xx
