Hi, Jami:
To be totally honest, I've never become "anorexic". You see, I'm what you'd call a self-diagnosed food addict. When I'm upset, I eat. When I'm celebrating, I eat. If I get a new job, the first thought entering my mind is "where can I eat?" I realized at some point that I'm not much different than an alcoholic - but with food. I've been binge free now for 48 hours, though, so I'm trying. It stinks, though. I've never been too depressed to eat. It shows, too.
Society is miserable on women. No culture so frankly abuses young women like ours. In some cultures, thin women are frowned on. I even read about a culture in Africa that "fattens" women up in the weeks before their weddings. Not us - in the US, it's all about skin and bones. It's hard on all women, but especially young women. I keep telling myself I'm in this for my health, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't care about my jeans size. So lets weather this together. If you're only 10 lbs from your goal, then you're totally almost there. The last ten are the hardest to shed (or so I've been told) - the key is to get moving. I HATE exercise, but I hear it's the key. I need to get moving, too. What is your choise way to get active?
