    One, you look sexy in all your pictures Wink so keep eating right. It's ok to eat junk food every now and then. Trust me, you don't want low blood sugar.
    Two, I feel you. Now all my life I was fine with my weight...until last year. I'm a transgender and when I tried to people...they took it bad and not even serious. I got really depressed and I stopped eating. I wasn't happy with my body. I hated it. I was so use to not eating a lot because when I lived with my mother we had money problems. We'd eat like every other day. So I could go a week or two weeks without food because I drank a lot of water. My parents started to notice and would shove food down my throat last fall. Because my stomach wasn't use to eating so much food, like a full on meal, i would throw up without stopping myself. I wasn't purging, but it was like it. I eat two meals a day now, but every now and then my stomach will get upset.
    I'm glad you stopped. I can really relate to this, so stay strong Cool

    ): I'm sorry... You can't be diagnosed with anorexia, but you can be diagnosed with bulimia, maybe.

    I think you look good. I started purging when I was in my teens. Years later, I have stage 3 kidney disease from doing it, not to mention other mental problems that come with obsession with food. It's always on my mind. And, to make matters worse, I'm not willing to give up my ED. I don't know why other than to say it obviously does something for me. I don't know what I get out of it, but I feel better after purging. Like ridding myself of the fullness like you stated, but also all the feelings I have at the moment. (anger-sadness)
    I'm really glad you've stopped. Like I said, you look healthy and good. Constantly worrying about what you eat really does take a toll and I understand where you're coming from. I wish you the best of luck. =)
