I have finaly said to my self that I need to do something about how I feel, look ect so I am going to go && see the doctor as soon as I can & get some help I cant keep going on like this it's not fair on my husband & boys.
im sooooo scared what they will do & that they will say that I am wasting there time can anyone help me on what will happen

Cat, that's great news. Believe me, the doctor won't be hearing your problem for the first time, he (she) will be sympathetic and at least rest your mind by checking you out physically and make sure your diet isn't causing any physical harm.
I think it's a good idea to bring a friend (or husband) along with you for support so you won't feel so nervous.
Either way, you're doing the right thing.
You might want the doc to refer you to a counselor for followup as well, as the doc will not have any magic cure, just medical help/advice.

Thank you both well I went yesterday thinking that the doctor would tell me that I was waisting his time & there was nothing wrong with me but he didn't say that at all he told me I was over 10kg under weight & that I need to see a psychologist but that will be about 2-3 weeks & he has also given me some anti depressants I feel that I have done the right thing in taking the first step to get help I just have to see how I go.

well its now 24th feb & I am doing really well on eating i eat 3 meals a day & then if I want I will also sit down in the evening & have something eles as well

I have not long moved so I had to see the nurse at my new drs for a health check I was a bit worried about it as I knew that I would have to be weighed & she said that even though I am still under weight I am doing well as I am now up to 8st (110lb) I still dont like what I see in the mirror but I have got to see the pshycoligist still as I have not started that yet but that will be in the next few weeks due to the move but the main thing is that I have started to eat & put on weight since 13th dec I have put on just under a stone so I think that im doing really well I want to get up 2 8st 10lb then im not over weight & im not under weight.
