It's gotten so bad about my self image I can no longer look at my self in the mirror. I feel like my body looks one way, then I see myself in pics and it's like I can not even recognize myself. I've worked my way into an eating disorder. I'm afraid to ear thinking that even if I ear one small meal a day I'm going to gay weight. My disorder is lack of eating. I'd rather live on water alone.

I work out everyday but and still about 50 lbs over weight. I do not know what to do.
 
thank you! i will give it a shot! happy holidays!
 
Hi, I just stumbled upon this board today while looking up something and your message was the first I saw. So before looking at any other posts, I have to respond to yours because I feel so strongly that you should never starve yourself. You need to eat, but you need to eat the right foods! Your body needs fuel! When I lost my weight, I could not believe how depressed I was before I lost the weight, I had no idea. Weight, dieting, etc takes a huge toll on you. I eat only plant-based foods and feel amazing! Going vegan was the best decision ever! I eat as much as I want, I do not count calories and I never feel deprived. I also have a lot of energy and for the first time in my life, I am genuinely happy and confident. Guess what? I used to dread having my picture taken but now, I really don't mind as much, LOL! So please don't starve yourself, eating disorders are very consuming and they cause much more damage than you think. {hugs} you can do this, but you can do it the right way and come out glowing!

Hi, hope is what I found when I was able to see love inside of me. I had to change the picture of my mind's view of how I saw myself. The picture perfect body in good health is what I had to see. I sat quietly with my eyes closed, took some deep breaths, affirmed five times out loud: I am made whole in my mind, body, and all my relationships. Thank you God. I connected what I was saying by seeing it in my imagination. what I was saying connected to what I was thinking. This I practiced in the morning and at night. Our mind has the power to control our body. Our own immune system can help us to achieve our goal. I kept fresh flowers around the house to help me keep from feeling low. I had to love myself at whatever size I was, encourage myself, but it took practice. It is always safe to follow up with your health care professional to make sure you stay healthy. Hope. deborahfearon62
