I have never told anyone in my life that I was anorexic when I was a teenager. I have been very ashamed of that. Having difficulty eating at times after a recent loss. I'm bummed that I feel I have to look a certain way to feel like an acceptable person. Working very hard on my image issues and making positive affirmations daily.

having anorexia is nothing to be ashamed of. you are not alone in this battle. if people don't accept you the way you are they are not worth your time.
Yip I agree iwouldntgo al out to be accepted you wouldn't do otforstrangers so sounds to me like your friends are putting you down so called friends as you say you need to work to fit I. If you don't k ow the prop,e why feel the need to fitintotheir life's not like there anything to you if they were friends you could be what you want to be they should be therefor you if they feelitsto much then walk away don't be there for onefriend the have a good gossip with another friend just not right

I had anorexia years and years ago. I certainly would not say that if people can't accept me the way I am then they are not worth it. anorexia is an illness and it is not something that people can deal with because it is a life threatening illness and that's what scares most people. one thing I've realised that having anorexia was a total waste of my life and I have a lot of regrets now at the age of 48 for being the way I am and still being obsessed about my food and my weight. a good friend of mine is also my age and is anorexic she has broken her legs her hips she doesn't work what sort of life is that really. I know that it is controlled by your mind but at the end of the day you have a choice about staying the way you are or trying to move forward you don't have to end up being fat if you eat healthy and exercise that will never happen trust me because I'm still slim.
