As a kid, even at a very early age, I remember my mother always telling me to pull in my stomach. My mom had me wearing a girdle at the age of 12 or 13 to make myself look thinner, and at the age of 14 my mother took me to a weightloss doctor to get me appetite supressents so I could lose some weight. I remember 'sneaking' food because I was "hungry". I think the food thing was a result of high stress in our family- lots of arguing, fighting, yelling, screaming and throwing things. I don't know what else to attribute it to. Some of what happened (like diet pills) were at my request. Bot I wonder what does a 14 year old know and why the ehck did she take me to this doctor anyway?? I wasn't overweight at all. I was 5'4" and 125 lbs. That is pretty normal and healthy! UGH!

So anyway................. (sorry for the rant)

It'll be interesting to see what comes up for you. Please know you really are not in this alone.
