    i am trolls mom. i never knew she was struggling with this like she was. she had always been tiny and wore baggy clothes so i never knew that underneath it all she was pretty much a skeleton. i feel horrible about it--i cant believe i didnt see all of this. thank all of you for your encouragement and support to her.

    KELSI: YOU ARE MY REASON FOR GETTING UP IN THE MORNING. YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION EVERY DAY. I COULDNT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT YOU. YOU HAVE HELPED ME MORE THAN I WILL EVER BE ABLE TO TELL YOU AND EVEN THOUGH I COMPLAIN BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO DO ANOTHER PUSHUP, LUNGE, BEAR CRAWL, ETC YOU "SWEETLY" ENCOURAGE ME TO DO JUST ONE MORE. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. I AM SOOOOOOOOO PROUD OF YOU BOO BEAR.

    LOVE YOU BUNCHES

    To Kelsi, BRAVO!! I am giving you a standing ovation for your success! I, too, have overcome anorexia and bulimia...to quote Joe Biden, "this is a big f'ing deal!" :happy: Congratulations a million times over for being HEALTHY. It feels good, doesn't it?

    To Kelsi's mom: Don't beat yourself up. Even if you had seen it (my parents didn't until I was very, very sick), telling her how worried and scared you were may only have fuelled the fire. It's part of the illness - when a person with an eating disorder is told "Wow, you're looking really skinny", s/he often hears it as a compliment and tries even harder to lose weight. I know I did. Bony frames, ribs poking out - those can be hidden with clothes. People with eating disorders have many, many strategies to hide it from even the most caring and watchful of families. It's a scary, scary illness and you have nothing to feel guilty about.

    Good job! You should be proud of yourself! Taking control of your life and making healthy choices is what is all about - no matter if that means you need to loose or gain! Keep up the good work.

    I teared up a little reading your post. Congratulations on your weight gain and your journey to being a healthier person. It's all about being strong and healthy and happy. Even though I don't know you, I am proud of you and happy for you! I don't know what it's like to be anorexic or bulimic, but I certainly do know what it feels like to feel like food is the only thing you can control and then suddenly, have it be the thing that's controlling YOU.

    I love MFP because it's easy to find support here. Know that I support you and am rooting for you!

    Thanks for sharing. It's great to see people's lives being turned round and their bodies brought into the 'healthy' category, from above or below.

    P.S. I do think I'm addicted to caffeine, yes :laugh: well, recently I've been making an effort to cut down...
