God bless you for having the courage to discuss this issue. My older sister was anorexic in high school. This was in the '70's when anorexia wasn't the issue it became later on.

She wasn't fat, but she thought she was. She just stopped eating. She'd eat half a piece of plain bread in the morning and brush her teeth and then not eat 'til the next day. Her appearance drastically changed to the point where she looked like she had tennis balls for knees.

To this day, I don't know what brought her out of it - but something happened. She spent an entire summer between her jr and sr years in high school with a favorite aunt and when she returned, she was much better.

Don't feel like you're alone with your food issues, I believe they're much more common than you think. I became extremely overweight after my husband died and had gastric bypass surgery earlier this year. I'm down 83 lbs with 20 to go to reach my goal weight.

You may need to discuss your problem with a dr, but please, for your own health - don't take any more diet pills. Those things will kill you!
