Unfortunately I don't have any answers for you but I am happy to listen. I hope some others will write and provide something more, but I wanted to let you know that we care.View Thread

I'm not eating enough, altho I don't know that I'm truly anorexic. I still have a "healthy" BMI but for the first time I didn't have a period (no, I'm not pregnant). I am able to hide my eating very little/not eating and family & friends who have noticed the weight loss believe it's due to healthy eating and exercise - it's not - I'm starving myself. I am so exhausted some days that it's difficult to make it thru the work day - I rely on caffeine way too much. I hope that this site is a safe place to share, be encouraged and encourage others.View Thread

Sorry you've been sick - that cold is really hanging on! Have you been able to rest? Ugh - your family is obviously really watching you about eating. Sorry things weren't so good on Thanksgiving. Family stuff can be so stressful.I know there are some family members that bring out the worst in me! My Thanksgiving was ok - no big drama or anything, which is something to be thankful for. You take care!View Thread


Thanks for responding. I'm glad to hear that this is a safe place - that's exactly what I really need. Can I ask how you hide not eating when your family is around? When I feel that I have to eat I just don't eat anything else the rest of the day and if possible, the next day. I have not checked with my Dr about the period thing - insurance is an issue right now - I need to wait til the new year for any Dr visits. I am in my early 40s so it seems a little young for the early menopause but who knows? Are you pretty much always cold? I can't get my feet to get warm. Sorry, enough about me already! What's the issue with your periods - do you know? Has you week started off ok?View Thread
