I'm a recovering anorexic who recently put on about 10 to 15 pounds. It's a big step for me not to obsess over it, and I've really tried not to make a my main focus. Just yesterday my neibor asked me if I was pregnant, and told me that I've been gaining so much weight lately. Does anyone know of anyone who doesn't find that completly inappropriate. I cried the entire Thanksgiving day! I'm I odd for not thinking she was completly out of line?

I am sorry that happened it isn't right... Once I was in the produce section of the store and a women walked up to me put her hand on my stomach and asked me when I was due.... And I wasn't pregnant! Not even overweight... it sucks!

keep your chin up,the man was not thinking.im sure he didnt want to hurt your feelings.my daughter weighs a mere 80 pounds at 18 years of age and she is very thin .but she feels shes fat.just try and focus on something else in your life like helping others with anorexia,you will feel so much better knowing you may have saved a life....good luck.......

no your right that was out of order big time! she's probably walking around looking like death and expect everyone else to look sick also, i know 10 to 15 lbs will not make anyone look pregnant by no stretch of the imagination!! please dont let your crazy neighbor get in your head, im glad to hear youve put on weight and your getting healthy, sexy aint skin and bones!!! you go girl!!

She was out of line, and obviously very ignorant. One should never ask another individual if they have lost or gained weight unless they are very (extremely close) to that individual and are concerned. She is a miserable witch... Keep working on getting better. And simply ignore her and realize she is a miserable ignorant witch... God bless****

as a recoved anorexic, it is NEVER ok..... it is enough to send you right back into old habits..... I would have said, I am recovering from Anorexia, and thank you for possibly sending me back into my illness..... and walk away!!!

its never OK to say anything like that....but in your case that's a complement......she may not be aware of you being anorexic....so she wouldn't of known you are super sensitive about the subject.....try to let it go .....
