Tracy,
thanks for sharing your experience. I am where you were.
I like being horribly thin - it DOES feel like an accomplishment.
I AM messed up.

Can you tell me how you turned it around, and in only a year?
Did you do it on your own? Or if not what kind of help did you have?

You've given me some hope - thank you.

I remember my husband telling me I was getting too thin and I looked like a boy. I liked the attention. I was messed up.
Today, a year later, I no longer count calories, weigh myself, or care much about my weight to a degree. I am over the anorexia. I am healthy. I eat what I want, when I want. I am a size 3. Still thin, but I still think I'm fat at times, but I have no intentions to go back to the unhealthy lifestlyle.
