Doctor thinks im crazy basically cos i want to be skinny!!

ok here goes...

i know of all the problems with being skinny and unhealthy. i also know all the wrong things to do in order to loose weight and i totally understand it, if anything im against bulimia and anorexia as i have a child and have to be sensible cos he needs his mum around after all!!

but there is a problem...

lately (meaning over the past year max) i have developed what the doctor calls a obsession with my weight. not so much starving myself but forcing myself to fit into the smallest sizes! I know it sounds silly but its getting bad and i dont think anyones takin me seriously. The thing is i can fit into size 4 in tops without no problem and i would even go as far to say that i could get into a size 2 top!! No boobs u see, only a b cup.

so the top half is not a problem. I have tried a size 4 pair of jeans on in changing rooms and it was only my hips (after having baby they widend) that was stopping them from fitting, everything else was on track and i thought i looked great if only my hips werent so big!!

my wardrobe collection has been deteriorating in size due to my obsession. in the past 2 year it must have easily gone from a size 10 to 12 down to 6 and 4.

So anyway been to the doctor and he reckons i need a mental health team to sort me out! anyone else going through this cos i cud really do with someone on the same wave legnth to talk to, please!!

Hi sarahlou

I am not the right person to speak of this with you because I am not on the same wave but I think your doctor is right. You need some help,some psychological help because your problem isn't your weight but what you think about your self. You don't love, respect your self. What matters isn't your physical appereance but your values. You will solve your situation if you understand it.
Best regards

Is tiny bad??

This is an absolutley identical situation as me - and worst of all im a health professional so i should know better !!! So.... am im gonna tell you its time to recover...Oh no cause the buzz of control is too high, espeacially coupled with looking and feeling good in yourself... No advice from me but at least you know your not the only one suffering.

My weight

sorry i havent replied in ages, i dont have a computer at home.

Thanks for your reply by the way.

Its a relief in a round about way that i feel im not the only one.

I went in river island yesterday and picked up my usual, size 6 skinny's. but i had the shock of a lifetime when they wouldnt fit! i was nearly cryin in the changing room,
Due to support from bf and etc i had started eating again, but unkniwn to tehm i went to another extreme of eating way too much. At the minuite i think im a large 6. but today i wouldnt let myself eat any dinner, i just keep gettin cups of tea and water, its like im tryin to get skinny again and i m scared of what i'll go to this time!

Tried talkin to my bf bout it last night but he just doesnt get it!!
He thinks i want to be fat, but he couldnt be more wrong. he is always sayin you are a size 8 darlin, when out shoppin with him. And to be honest, him sayin that is makin me regress to damn well prove him wrong, but how am i meant to tell him that!!

i feel really lost and upset and could really do with a chat. wb
