My name is Alicia and I am currently 16 years old. I found CC around early April and have finally decided it was time to join after looking through mainly the Weight Gain forum day after day.

Now, I don't really know where to begin with this whole "bio" on me. It is kind of a long, confusing journey that I am still struggling with today. Basically back in March of '08 I started having severe stomach pains after eating and started drastically going down in weight. I went from being a healthy 97lb teenager (I've always been on the tinier side, was a premature baby at 1lb 15oz), all the weigh down to a horrifying 66lbs. Was admitted to hospital on two accounts: November of '08 (was not yet at my lowest here), and then again in Febuary of '09 (where I was at my lowest - 66lbs). Went through all the tests you could imagine with everything coming up negative. As a result, they diagnosed me with Anorexia Nervosa.

Today I am trying to regain my health and happiness (and the much needed weight of course).  I know it will be a very tough struggle each and everyday, but I am willing to go through that to get back to the life I once lived and long to have again.
