I am new to these forums, but i'm looking for advice from people other than mental health professionals. I am 46, and my docs think i have anorexia. I am 5'6" and 98 pounds. I know it sounds like i'm very thin, but i've been thin all my life. my parents were thin, and most of my siblings are thin. i have not been 98 in my adult life, but i've never been more than 118, even when i was pregnant. i think it's just the way my body carries weight. i'm seeing a therapist and psychiatrist for depression (bad marriage, emotional abuse i think), and then they started bugging me about anorexia because i lost a few pounds. doesn't just about every woman on the planet want to lose weight anyway? and it's not like i'm emaciated by any means. i'm not 70 pounds, i'm physically healthy, i am able to work out, etc. Does anyone else out there have a similar problem?
