I have loved her, hated her, raged, wept, broken and all the rest. Now it's hard to feel anything for her at all. It's complex. This illness. In the last year something has happened to me that I find impossible to comprehend. I have begun to struggle with food and wanting to be very very very small. I have no idea what to do about this. I'm in therapy (as of the last 2 months) but there seems to be little point fussing about the food thing because I have no desire to stop. I don't really know what to do.

This even has odd reprocussions. I know a friend who is naturally very thin, and she gets acused of having eating issues when she doesn't have them.

I have a sister who battled with anorexia when she was in her late teens. She's now in her early 30's, eats very healthy and does moderate exercise every day. She's also married and ready to have children. After trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant for a few months, she went in for an evaluation and some tests. She found out that she did some pretty serious damage during her anorexic period, and may never be able to have children of her own. They are looking into adoption, but she's still very sad.

I really like your encouraging words at the end of the article. It's really nice to have someone who cares and not just labels others as "anorexic". <em>Don's last blog post..<a href='http://rapidimprovements.com/blog/raise-your-standard-to-move-to-higher-level-in-life/'>Raise Your Standard to Move to Higher Level in Life</a></em> Thanks for the article.

She's probably around average weight for her size but she's convinced herself that she is fat and nothing anybody will say can change her mind. At first I thought it was just some childish act but today I walked in on her intentionally throwing up. Im so worried about her but I don't know what to do :( <em>Samantha's last blog post..<a href='http://www.disneyscrapbook.org/disney-scrapbook/disney-scrapbook-supplies'>Disney Scrapbook Supplies</a></em> My sister has begun more or less starving herself trying to lose weight.
