Hey Ratty. I had my appointment with the ED partial hosp people today. I ended up agreeing to try the partial hosp for 2 weeks. They wouldn't let me just see a dietician, but I will meet with one next week. I'm hoping that they won't make me gain too much weight. I'm a little scared of it, because I'm going to be embarrassed at being the only one who isn't really too skinny. I can already feel my jeans getting tighter. I'm telling myself that I might learn new ways to deal with the other problems in my life, and they can't force me to stay in any kind of treatment. They had a way of convincing me that I do have an eating problem, and that it eventually make me sick. I also have a 9 year old daughter, so I want to be as healthy as possible for her. I think if I can get my husband to leave, I would be much better. Maybe you can record what you eat everyday so that the medical people can see that your body just wants to be a certain weight - like 100. I think the main reason they talked me into this treatment is because of the way I answered their questions (I would like to weigh less, I feel guilty when I eat a normal meal, etc.) What are your answers for those quesitons? Have you asked anyone if gaining a few pounds will help your other health problems?
