Dear Stronger. Please PLEASE DON'T get caught out by thinking you can handle this because this is exactly what we as anorexics do ~~ fool ourselves we can handle any situation involving food, whether restricting, starving or binging. It's exactly like being an alcoholic or a drug user, we ARE addicted for life and merely in recovery every hour of the day, we just choose to abstain for that day/hour/week or minute. I fully identify with the terrible health probs, I'm still in the grip and I'm relatively old [56] so after 33 years suffering all of the ED's my body is that of a 70 year old. Teeth are breaking and I can actually pull them out myself!! Lots of fillings are falling out, my hair is so thin I need to wear hair pieces and my nails are broken to the quick, oh and not forgetting the bowel probs and oestoprosis [brittle bone disease]. I know our weight can be in a ''safe zone'', but we're always secreatly pleased when we see the llbs fall off.
DARLING, YOU MUST BE VERY VERY CAREFUL.
