Hey smilelivelove, I also am suffering w/ an eating disorder. I am at a healthy weight now (5'4", 112 lbs). But I excessivley count calories, I can't help it..even when i try not to, i just automatically do. I had gotten to the point within the last six months that I was down to 108 lbs and hadn't had a menstrual period in 4 months! That's when I realized I needed to stop the insanity!! You are 5'2"? A healthy weight for you would be between 109-130 lbs. Good luck staying healthy, b/c the reality is... E.D.'s are very very dangerous. I am a nurse (believe it or not), so I KNOW the problems anorexia can cause, the list is endless... contact me if you want to know what exactly, and send me a message anytime you need someone to relate to! :)
You weren't getting periods at 108? I'm also 5'4 and I have issues with ED and last year (right before I became an inpatient and they made me eat =\ ) I was 79lbs and still getting periods... the only problem I had was that I was CONSTANTLY bleeding. My period never STOPPED.
