Hello everyone! My name is Megan and I am a recovering anorexic. I know most people using this site are here to lose weight but I am using it to gain about 30 pounds. I am not one of those women who rubs it in though by saying "Oh I'm so skinny! I want to gain weight!" because I know that is the last thing someone actively trying to lose weight wants to hear. I used to be overweight sdo i do understand the other end of the spetrum as well. Let's face it, we all have an eating diorder. Whether it's over-eating or under-eating we are all obsessed with food. Don't get me wrong. Just because I am anorexic doesn't mean i dislike food. I LOVE food! I used to be bulimic and binge on all types of food....it was horrible. I just want everyone to know I am here to support you all and I would like some support as well :) We are all in this together.

    Hi Megan
    I think this site is for anyone struggling with their weight, whether that be to lose or gain. I am so glad you are here! You are a beautiful girl and I hope that I can be an encourager to you! I have been heavy almost all of my life. I am a 2 time cancer survivor and have especially struggled with my weight since my first bout in 1994.

    Let's do this together!! I will definitely pray that the Lord gives you the strength to make good choices and gain some weight. I also pray you can feel his arms of love around you knowing how precious you are in his sight!

    Your friend,
    Kay

    Thank you so much! Trust me, I can relate to being the big one too. Before my disorder i was my dad's "little eater" and the friend who always gave the piggy back rides or was leaned on. I was the biggest out of all of my tiny friends. Obviously i over compensated for this and got myself into quite a pickle lol. I've been horpitalized 5 times but i refuse to go back again. This is something I need to do on my own for once. Life is too valuable to be like this, knocking on death's door. It's very scary to gain weight and honestly I am having a hard time dealing with it but I just need to bite the bullet and DO IT! Live life! I will try and encourage and support you as well on your journey :D We can do this!

    Dear Lord,
    We ask right now in Jesus name that you watch over Megan and comfort her and let her know that you love and value her so much as your child. Lord, we pray that Megan can see the beautiful woman you created and that you only want her healthy and happy. Lord, we all have our own struggles and I pray we can be an encouragement to one another and help each other on this journey. Through you, ALL things are possible. We love you Lord and we know you have our best interests at heart, so be with us on this journey together and lift us up! Amen and Amen!
