Well in my experience I found it very hard to eat at any times in the day, and trying to make me eat would just make me feel sick, I didn’t want to admit to myself that I had something wrong with me as I thought it was nothing, and that it would be all ok in time. But as you can imagine, my family started to get very worried about me, and I got forced to go to the doctors to see if there was anything wrong.
There was something wrong, with me and I had a very very low bmi and got put onto a food plan straight away, and got told that if I didn’t put on 3 stone then I would have to go into hospital, and basically have tubes put down my throat which would make me eat and then that would get me to put enough weight on to get healthy again.
This obviously really scared me and my family, it was hard to explain to my family why I had got these problems, and they got very frustrated with me as I couldn’t explain. But I think the best thing to do is to tell your family why you have the problems, so they can help you and just talk about them all. And so when you’re starting to eat your family can encourage you and help out, when you need it most. And someone telling you that you do look good it can help you and boost that your confidence up.
It is a very hard thing to go through, not just for that person but for all of the family and friends, which watch you go down hill and become very ill. Obviously this could start because of many reasons, but for me it was because I used to be overweight and I got bullied about that, and they laughed etc which just made me feel terrible so I wanted to lose weight and instead of doing it the sensible way I just basically stopped eating, and just cut out everything I thought I didn’t need so no breakfast or lunch and a very small main meal. So I became very thin and ill.
Going through this is very hard, but you have to try your hardest to just try and stop and go back to eating properly. Go and see a doctor if you are really worried or if your family is, then they can help you give you good advice and maybe get counseling for you. It is so so hard but think of it in the long term your body will be ruined if you keep going, and you could die basically it’s as simple as that. It takes a lot of time and commitment so as long as you really want to change you can do it. I have become better but im still getting help from the doctors but putting weight on and starting to look a bit healthier, I still have a way to go though.
I hope you have enjoyed reading this.
