I never were fond of anorexic figures, but never were fond of food either. It was a chore. I liked tasty food but could never eat enough easily. People around me kept encouraging me and I kept pushing myself, cause I did want to stay healthy. My weight was 10 kg less than the minimum for my height, often resulting in easy fatigue, low blood pressure or dizziness.

Lately, I suddenly decided to start chasing the dream of my life (to become an artist) cause I couldn't take it anymore. What I didn't expect was that my appetite had a significant change. I do get hungry when it's time for food, and even eat stuff between main meals. I have only gained 1 kg so far (it's been a month) but since I eat often I have no problems of dizziness or debility. It stopped for two days when I failed an art school's entrance exam, but now I'm applying for another. I hope I'll get in...for medical reasons

Glad to hear that you are recovered. I too had faced a similar situation. I had eating addiction and shown severe health issues by this. Later, as per the advice of my friend, I had sought the help of an addiction treatment center in Toronto. They really helped me to recover from my problems.
