I'm a Recovered Anorexic... Posted: 10-12-05 12:51pm
...And I just had a baby. She is now
eight months old, but I still am
140lbs...I can't seem to safely lose my
weight. I'll start exercising and
dieting like a good, normal person, but
then I can feel myself slipping into my
old ways, and it's scary b/c I dont want
it to control me every again. But yet
i'm soooo frustrated that I can't lose 30
more pounds!
So I don't know what to do...Because if I
try to lose the weight, i'm afraid of
losing myself to anorexia again. But if
I dont, i'll be miserable and fat.
Can anyone else related to dealing with
anorexic feelings postpartum????

Hi, congrats on the new baby. How long
have you been recovered from anerexia.
Have you seen a therapist or anything.
Well, it does sound a lil bit like you are
starting to slip back in I hope that you
don't. I think that you should exersice a
lil bit each day and eat healthy. I don't
think I am much help though sorry.

I'm Not Sure If It Is Safe For Us to Diet Again Posted: 10-16-05 19:04pm
Or not. I thought about asking my
dietician or support group this. It
might not be a good idea at this point
though since I still have to gain weight.
You might want to talk to a dietician
about this. That way a dietician can
supervise your diet and make sure that you
are being sensible.
