thanks to everyone you guys are really encouraging and very sweet. i know that my bmi is considered healthy now but when I was younger I was much thinner and pretty much ate whatever I wanted. I guess that's just part of getting older. so there are things about my body that i would like to change but i do need to work on appreciating what i have now. i still would love to build muscle and tone up. thank you again :)

ryann i'm so sorry you have to deal with this. i feel for you and your mother.

I know it's frustrating because you are mad at your mom for hiding food from you guys which is absolutely wrong. but it is one of the symptoms of her illness. control is a big issue with people with anorexia. they try to control others to make up for a lack of control that they FEEL they have. anorexia takes over your life 100%. you become a different person.

the idea of printing out a symptoms of anorexia sheet and going over it with your dad that someone suggested is a good idea. the problem is she is most likely not aware that she has anorexia. it's like substance abuse. the first step is admitting you have a problem. the sooner you can get your mother help, the sooner she can be on a road to recovery. you might just need to have your whole family (including your grandparents )sit down and intervene.

yes I eat lots of fruit, I rarely eat white bread, and generally avoid high fat foods except for peanut butter and sometimes I allow myself to indulge in a bit of ice cream

thank you! i'm glad to know that it's not messed up forever. i'm going to try that and see what happens.
