My Baby In My Belly Just Gave Me Some Strength... :(

Hi everyone~ well I am having a not so
good time right now... As some of u
might know, I am recovering from an e/d
(both anorexia and bulimia but more-so
bulimia) anyhow I have only purged 3 times
in the past 3 1/2 months which is terrific
for me and its now been a month about
sense I did it.....Well today, I just ate
kentucky fried chicken (not the chicken
cuz I dont eat meat, but potatoe wedges,
and a biscuit, cole slaw, and these 2
quesidilla things! I know. . Its
a ton. . I way over-ate. ..
Well I felt/feel terrible so I ran to the
bathroom.. Ready to purge.. I had my
toothbrush.. I stood there for a minute
and then I just couldnt do it . . I
couldnt do it cuz I didnt want my baby to
have to be there while his mom purged her
food (his nutrients) . . I mean I
know it wouldnt nessescarily hurt him tho
cuz many women throw up a ton during
pregnancy. .But I didnt do it. Its
hard tho I can tell u . . I want to
do it so bad right now.. I know I
definitly over ate and I just feel awful
especially with my belly already big as it
is without all that extra food. Ugh
this is so hard I want to cry! It
shouldnt bother me maybe cuz either way im
gonna gain (im 4 1/2 months tomorrow) I
just cant explain how sick and disgusted I
feel right now. I am going on a walk
tho at least so maybe that will help.
Its just that ive been eating sooo much
lately and I feel as tho ive just lost all
control. I know I will be hungry more
bein preg. But I feel like im crossing
the line sometimes.

No definately not...I ate all the time and
I wasnt crossing the line. Its perfectly
normal and healthy. Stay strong and eat
up for that little one!
Yes the baby will get nutrients from you
either way, but if you have had an e/d
before..You already missing nutrients your
body needed. And you will be so
unhealthy after you give birth if you dont
eat now, you will be drained of all your
nutrients!

Look you shouldn't feel guilty about over
eating. U are eating for 2. Also your
baby needs this food to grow and be
healthy. My doctor told me and I have
read from other resources that even if ur
not hungry at times, the baby is. Feed
that lil baby hun. Dont throw it up. Be
strong. I know u can do it. U wouldn't
starve ur baby when it is here right?
Then dont do it now. Keep up the good
work. Then after the baby is herem u can
be more strick about ur diet. But
obviously no purging. This disease u have
is very serious as well as dangerous im
sure u already know that but u need to get
it under control if not for yourself then
for your baby. He or she is gonna need u
throughout their life. Good luck!!! ~

kari I know first hand how hard it is to
not only think about those things, but to
be big enough to get up and walk away!!
We have both made huge accomplishments
today! I ate pizza for lunch for the
first time in months!! I was just sitting
there with mike and I was like I feel like
pizza, so I had my mom call and order and
when it got there, I stared at it for like
10 minutes and finally ate it, and you
know something? It felt great! It felt
great to have that power back in my
control and sweetheart you got that power
back too!! You are a very selfless
person!! Way to go!!

Kari, keep up the great work!! I never
had this problem, but new many with it and
I think what you did was the best for you
and for baby!! Me and you are only a day
appart now with our babies and I just want
to say, what you ate was nothing. Just
think, the baby is the one getting most of
it, not you. You are right we are
getting bellies on us, but we need them to
carry our angels in!! Don't feel bad
cause you think you ate so much, sometimes
I feel like I could eat that 3, 4 times a
day, lol. My doctor says the weight gain
is fine, feel that belly, its not flubby.
It is rather hard. I think what you did
was a great thing and we all are gonna
keep on encouraging you to get through
this :d
lots of love,
heather
