I don't know how to answer all of your questions; first I fought with bulima and some restricting and I basically got over the bulima for I was in a drug induce coma for 6 weeks and on life support for 2 1/2 months(not because of the eating though) and that's enough to scare anyone I think into straigtening out. I still struggle with restriciting but maintain an okay weight-I should gain more weight(only a couple of pounds) but no matter how much I eat I can't so I don't think it's meant for me to do that at this time.
I can tell you life is a lot easier when you have energy from food and it's a lot more fun to be able to eat and enjoy it and not have to worry about the excuses all the time.
God Bless.

Hey, thanks for replying. Congratulations though on straightening out! I'm all for you. Keep it up!

I am going to give blood tomorrow, or at least try. (Yes I'm very scared! it's my 1st time!!!!!)

I may be anemic. I have lost alot of vitamins I know. I think I need more magnesium and today in dance my muscles were cramping so I ate a banana. I probably need more potassium. they should test my blood for iron so I'll finally know. I'm still tired and out of breath all the time, I feel like laying around all day. even though I've been eating it's too dificult to move sometimes. I feel like i'm always in a daze. I don't really feel 'sleepy' tired but just exhausted.

Anyway i'll let you know how it goes!
Thanks for the reply!

Good luck
