Ok maybe i'm to old to have this problem at 20. I'm 5'3 and weigh between 87 and 90 pounds. I also have two kids. I have had eating disorders when I was younger but I got pregnat at 16 then agian at 17 and had no problem with gaining weight while I was carring my babies or after until now. I find my self throwing up alot whenever I get stressed but I dont do it to lose weight I want to gain some I look so unhealthy. Yet whenever I have a rough day or get upset I find myself running to the bathroom, at first it was just once in a while then every week now its a few times a day. I tried telling my husband but, he just got mad and was like your going to make yourself sick and if you get sick who is going to take care of the kids so just stop. I've tried so hard to stop that now I just dont know what to do. Any advice would help. Thanks

how do u feel when ur going to throw up is it because u need a break or because ur mad. u said it wasnt because ur afraid to gain the weight so wat is it. once u figure that out try to help it not to come try to calm down and just breathe through it thats the best advice i can give i hope it helps

At first it was a feeling of giving myself some control over something-my oldest son was just dx with some major medical issues and there is nothing I can do about it and it was-but now it doesnt seem to be for any reason at all unless the usual everyday stresses of life count It almost like an addication I want to do do it I crave it and don't know why.

try a new coping method, simple as that
if you need additional couseling, talking to a friend you trust, or a therapist
think about the consequences of your actions
(damage to esophagus, thyroid problems, swollen throat glands, yellow teeth, ruptured skin vessels in face, puffy face due to swollen glands, ulcers, damage to stomach...)

yeh, i agree with the other responds. ur pretty little for ur size. and for ur kids, thats not healthy. i really dont know what else to say! all the davice is pretty much taken..lol

take care hun!
