Ok so my mom talked to my regular doctor
last night and they came to the conclusion
that I no longer have any time to waste
and if I don't seriously start to clean up
my act with eating right, than they're
going to admit me into the hospital!! I
freaked out on my mom because I told her I
was going to, and have been, starting
today, eating right! She said "you've
said that too many times and now
especially because of the baby we have to
take this even more seriously and maybe
that means taking it out of your hands and
putting it in those of someone who knows
how to deal with this the right
way"....She just told me 1/2 hour ago and
i've been crying ever since...How can they
do that?! I'm helping myself and getting
it together! Ooo I just want to scream
right now!!

Vanessa sweetie, I understand how you
feel! When I was 16 years old, my mother
had enough and she took me to the hospital
and had me checked in. I was so angry and
started cry and begging her to take me
home and that I would eat. But huni you
know as well as I do that I never had that
intention, I just wanted to go home and
continue controlling my own life. Going
to that hospital was the best thing that
ever happened to me. I finally was able
to look into a mirror and see me again,
not some disfigured person that I had
created in my own sick mind. The
difference is hun, that I wasn’t pregnant
when I was getting well, so I had more
time. Vanessa you don’t! Your baby needs
you to get well and needs the nutrients
now! Please stop crying, wipe your tears,
go into the kitchen make a healthy snack
and show your mom that you want to get
better. If nothing else go to the
hospital to learn how to feed yourself
again and how to look in the mirror
“normally” again. Trust that everything
will get better soon, because I know it
will! If you need to talk more, don’t
hesitate!
Van,
megan is right. Do what is best for your
baby right nowm not yourself. You haev to
eat, keep it down, and make the right
decisions for your child. Even if those
decisions are not ones you like, a
hospital wouldn't be the end of the world.
Who knows it might help.
We all love you,
chanda

You girls are so amazingly supportive it's
incredible...I honestly was waiting to get
a reply back saying that I should stop
being selfish and eat for god sakes! Even
though that's the truth, you guys are
really helping to motivate me to get my
butt in gear...I'm giving myself 3 days to
eat properly and stay healthy, both
physically and mentally...If I fail in
either, I told my mom that maybe I should
be admitted into a program in the
hospital, like you said chanda, maybe it's
not the end....I'm hoping it's just the
beginning, beginning of something
good...I'll keep you all posted throughout
these next 3 days, pray for me!
Vanessa

Hey hun... Ive been talking to u alot and
I know you can do this. I know it.You are
a strong person. If I can do this, so can
you. Were both going through the same
things together. You will just need to
try your very very hardest to do this on
your own.. Ive been admitted to the
hospital for my eating disorder for a
month. .And it is not fun.. I wouldve
much rather of done it on my own... Being
there made me crazy..And the people there
arent the best.. At least if your at home
u can make the decsision of what foods you
want, and when etc, but now u just have to
do it to whats fits you and your babys
nutritional needs.. But anyhow.. I just
know you can do it. Anytime u think of
restricting just tell yourself, that if u
skip a meal, your making your little
hungry baby skip it's meal too. I know
how much u already love your baby so just
keep your little angel in mind and I know
you will do just fine. This will just
test your inner strength, cuz god knows we
all need alot of it to be a mother*

Yes yall can do this if u have an eating
disorder, just think of ur precious
child..Everyone of yall are capable ..I
know ya'll are..Yall are beautiful! Dont
let ur mind fool you..Oh yea I got some
interesting info off the internet a min
ago....Low-calorie intake can cause the
mother's stored fat to break down, leading
to the production of substances called
ketones. Ketones, which can be found in
the mother's blood and urine, are a sign
of starvation or a starvation-like state.
Constant production of ketones can result
in a mentally retarded child.
so ur doctor could b able to tell just in
ur urine, so please girls, eat..Please.
