I was diagnosed with anorexia in high school and I weighed 120 lbs. at 5'7". I was borderline anemic by then.

I don't know why, but I got to where I couldn't make myself eat without horrible guilt feelings. Not even a lifesaver or a mint. Once in awhile, if I got dizzy or passed out, I'd eat a sandwich. Usually when a friend would make me.

I weigh a lot more than that now that I quit smoking and had all the plumbing yanked out!

I know someone very dear to me who had this problem...same guilt for eating anything. We nearly lost her, but 5 years later she is doing fine. We are looking forward to Thanksgiving. I am so very glad that you are doing well.

God bless the woman who knows that zoftig and happy is better than thin and miserable!

120 lbs at 5'7" doesn't strike me anywhere near an anorexic weight. My wife is that tall, and weighed 105 pounds when we got married.
