really thin (5'10 120) and avoided eating at all costs. I lost my period for 2 years. I never ever told them I was anorexic, but I feel like they suspected. I am going to see them in a week and am so nervous of what they will think of me. I am not fat now, just normal I guess( 5'10 150.) But I still feel huge, because I will always have the anorexic mind that I have to fight each and every day.
I am so anxious.. I don't want them to think I like ate and became fat.
Should I tell them about my past and that now I am healthier because I am actually feeding my body? Or just forget it and not care. help :/

sorry, to clarify, they are my good friends, I saw them 8 months ago. We live in different states now.

Your mind is what was shared back in those glory college days. Your mind is what they will remember the most. You will probably find that they also have gained a few extra pounds since then. 5'10" at 150 lbs sounds like a great weight to be. I'd sure be happy in your shoes. I was skinny as a rail back in my teen years as well. I'm a little plump in the middle now. No big deal. You are ok. Don't tell if you are not asked. And, they won't ask.

If it will help you, then you should tell them, especially if they are your good friends. You shouldn't have anythign to worry about . Then you won't be wondering what they are thinking about your weight gain. If you really want to put the past behind you and live in the now, then just forget it. You don't owe it to anyone but yourself. Good luck!
Congratulations! Anorexia is a very hard thing to overcome!! Kudos to you!!

You shouldn't have to justify yourself to old friends. Obviously they aren't good friends because you haven't seen them in a while. However, if it makes you feel better about yourself, talk all you want. Good luck in doing whatever you decide to do.

def... I am recovering too. if you don't they might say sometihng triggering to you like "wow... you look great!" Even though you are still thin, you might feel like restricting again. Your friends should know of your struggles...

don't care. it's what I do. try not bring up the subject. or you can tell them how you seem to be eating more than usual lately.
