I was borderline anorexic when I was a teen. Then I got on psych meds and in 8.5 years gained 136. I got off those meds and I started dropping weight like crazy. I need to lose 16 more pounds to be a normal weight. I started I guess resorting to old habits. Instead of eating everything in site, I am restricting to 1200 calories a day. I feel guilty when I eat stuff. I just almost finished a bowl of spaghetti and when I got to the meatballs, I just felt so guilty I put the bowl down and now I don't want to finish it. I just think of eating meatballs when I was fat. I was eating them so fast. I'm so scared of being fat again. The only one I talk to about this is my therapist. She said that I don't have a problem yet, but that I am heading towards one. I hide it from my mom. I think she has her suspicions though. I'm wondering if gaining all that weight messed me up mentally. I categorize things into two groups. Before I gained the weight and after. What should I do? I kind of mentioned it to my physcian. I said I sometimes have trouble eating, and her response was "good. She's just so oblivious. She prescribes my sesonale and I'm worried another doctor won't. What if I need to go to an eating disorder unit in a hospital? I'm pretty sure my insurance won't cover the only one I can think of. I'm really worried.
