hi i was wondering if anyone else has an eating disorder and how they are coping i am doing ok at the moment but i have anorexia adn found out miraculously i was pregnant when i was 92lb
at 27 weeks i am now 116lb

just wondered how others with ed's are coping?

I'm finding it hard, but I'm fighting every day. I know bulimia and anorexia (if you practice these behaviours while pregnant) can increase your chance of premature labour. I refuse to do anything to harm my baby. I'm sure you know how I feel

anamaz

yes i do know what you mean i am determined to recover now whereas before i wasnt so keen
i havingf a lil girl and i dont want her to be like me its terrible to have an ed

what do you have and how are you coping is it will ppower alone or do have any tecniques

p.s im so sorry for reading your ticker wrong before

I have a little girl who turns 3 soon, she is my motivation. I want to teach her starving yourself, purging, abusing your body is not okay, it's not normal. Just because someone else does it, doesn't mean it's right or something you should do. Right now I'm taking day by day, that's all you can do hun.

Don't worry, we will blame pregnancy brain!

I was anorexic when I was a freshmen in high school. Well thats when it got bad. I cheerleaded and danced, and even tho I wasn't fat (THEN!!) I didn't like the way I looked, especially in my leotard. I think thats what started it. Also, I had moved across the country to Maryland with my dad and stepmom and was miserable. I missed my mom, and whenever I was at home, I was sad. That made it much worse, since I couldn't control my home life, I thought I could control food. On Thanksgiving I refused to eat with my family. My stepmom told me I couldn't leave until I ate dinner, and I remember having 2 bites of potatoes and almost vomiting. I didn't pay much attention to how I was eating less and less until February. My best friend was having a quince and we were wearing short clingy dresses to it. 2 weeks before, she said she wasn't going to eat so she would look good in her dress. I said I would too, and 2 days later she said she had to eat cause she was starving. I hadn't even noticed that I hadn't eaten anything. It was like I knew what I was doing, and then I didn't want to, but I couldn't stop. I was losing so much weight. When I had visited family in CA back in Dec they said I looked great. I finally moved home in April, and they said I looked sick. After being back in California with my mom for a while, and being happier overall, I began to eat more and more. I had her support, as well as my family. It was really hard, and I cant imagine battling it while pregnant. You women are very brave and very strong. Geeze while I was pregnant, there were times where I could barely stop eating! I wish you both the best of luck fighting the ED!
