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 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!
