I'm trying. After my session yesterday with my therapist, I made a promise to myself and God that I would try to eat. I made out today's menu yesterday and so far I've managed to stick to it. It's not a lot, but my stomach will only take a little bit at a time. I just have to do this. I do not want to die. I have to gain weight or I'll be hospitalized and I sure don't want that. I'm starting on DBT this week. I feel like it's kind of the last chance for me to have any kind of "normal" life. I sure hope that I can really work with it and get better.

YAY! I know you don't know me but i'm very proud of you. This is a big step and you sound like you are very self motivated. I have faith in you, and know you can do this! Keep up the good work! If you ever feel that you can't do it anymore, put on a brave face, and do it anyways, and remember ...

An important point. Working with your stomach will probably yield greater results than working against it.

Wishing you calm and ever-increasing progress.

Jean, You have realistic expectations and that is great. You also sound confident about your capabilities.Well done Jean! Best wishes to you.

Jean you sound like you know what you're doing and that's great. You know enough that you don't want to end up in the hospital and that's a big step. Good luck and keep up the good work!
