Thanks everyone for your valuable input and desire to help others and yourselves.
Dear Butterfli, YES I DEFINATELY identify with your horror and anxiety regarding loosing control with your bowles, happens to me all of the time for various reasons. Loosing control creates sheer panic of course, which makes tummy muscles contract, thus causing more issues. If anybody, I mean folk without any ED's eat much more than they otherwise would, the same result ensures, it's the bodies way of ridding too much bulk. It occures much more in people like us because generally our tums can shrink from prolonged starving as you'll probably know. When I was in the psych hospital I was made to eat little and often to avoid this issue. That still felt far too much but it did avoid the "upset tum issue". I know it's so very difficult for us when we have the presiding parents hanging over us, though they only mean the best for us. Could you let them know that you will eat with them BUT, for now can only manage smaller portions. I do understand hunny. Love and Hugs, xxxus
