THIS IS NOT AN "ATTENTION THING"...read on?

Question

I am 5'4 and weigh 110......I am 29 and weighed 128 in high school...I have an 8 year old son and am happily married....I know that I have an eating disorder. I will force vomit if I consume too much. I am constantly comparing myself to other women. I wish to lose 10 pounds. I know this is unhealthy. I am scared that this disease will eventually kill me. I want to be around for my son. He means the world to me. My husband does not like me this "skinny" though I see myself as fat.....counseling has not helped, been there and done that. ANYONE ELSE SUFFERING...? thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Three years ago (I'm 24 now) I was also bulemic. I was lucky and my family and my boyfriend and best friend forced me to get help quickly and it didn't progress to a near-fatal level. But yes, I have suffered as you are. I'm 5'11" and therefore, I'm not meant to be as skinny as the other girls, but I didn't think that was an excuse, and I worked out ALL the time, and tried and tried to get as skinny as everybody else was and as everybody wanted to be. I was so addicted to exercise as well. I'd eat to hide my problem, but then of course throw everything up. This continued over a course of 10 months and I lost around 30lbs and my period stopped (like I said, I'm not built to be that skinny) and I fell off a catwalk and broke my ankle cause I was so week and that was my stopping point. I went to counsiling and it helped me, I also had my mother who had just gotten over breast cancer (yeah that didn't help the original issues either) come over and stay with me and support me, and my boyfriend did the same, he and my other friends and Mom watched me, and complimented me, and with counseling I got through it. But sweety, please, i don't know what to tell you except get your husband's help and try another counselor, and look into programs because its soooooo dangerous, I'm really scared for you, and you are NOT fat. That doesn't help I know, but really, you MUST get help. It's a stupid thing to die over, really it is. Please, and good luck, and no, you're not alone.

Answer 2

Go back into counseling but this time take husband AND your son with you. Having a "second" opinion and another set of "eyes" makes a huge difference in the out come.

Answer 3

You need to stop becuase if you really love your husband and family you would start eating normally. On any hot day you can faint and thats the end of you. I dont know how you look but if your husbands says your beautiful you need to stop looking at other woman and comparing yourself to them because your husband isnt married to them hes married to you You need to start eating because im sure your beautiful and your too young to leave behind a husband and a child . Hope u get better

Answer 4

I know you said counseling has not helped, but, maybe you gave up too soon or maybe you need to go through a program specifically for eating disorders.
