Subject: Eating Disorders

I think the discussion on eating disorders was very important. Eating disorders are a very serious thing. When I was younger I had a problem with a anorexia but at that time I was going through so many things. I felt as is my life was completely out of control and nothing at all made since. Not to give an open invitation into my life but my sister was very sick at that time and she needed a heart transplant. I would look at her and she was so thin and so everything I was not. It sounds said but I was young and the only thing I could think about was the little sister should actually be smaller than the big sister. News flash, I was not. I was in junior high and we do not even want to know what problems I was going through at school on top of the fact of dealing with my personal life. My mind frame at that time zoomed in on my weight and I just wanted to disappear. I was 13 and 125 lbs and I remember getting on the scale one day and I at was at 98 lbs and food when I did try eat, mostly when someone noticed I was not eating, it would cramp my stomache horribly. 98 lbs was a great weight for me but it sparked more problems. I looked awful, my neck was long, and my face thin. I am just thankful I am still here after that. I just thought I would share that with you. So yes eating disorders are a very serious issue because so many other problems stem from that.
