Courtney… are you emotionally in-touch with your Anorexia?

I know you are under the care of a therapst (to name a few)… have they helped you to see… to feel why you chose this condition? Do you understand the benefits of it? Do you know the seed of it? the source of it’s power over you?

have you done any work in your therapy with meditation and sub-personalities? A sub-personality is where you mentally create in your minds-eye a personality to your problem. Once you give your problem (in this case anorexia) a personality.. even a name… like Andy Anorexia… you can, in your minds eye have a conversation with him… determine why he’s come to you… what he wants to give you… and what he wants from you. You see, It’s my understanding that Anorexia is all greatly about control. But of course there is a short period of time where the ED is DOES have a benefit… and does help you… “There’s no such thing as a problem, without a gift in it’s hands”. By giving a personality (emotionally and mentally) to your problem, you can become more intimate with it… you can find out what it need from you… you don’t need to let it own you.

Nice to meet you too!! :o)

that was beautiful Courty… I’ll give you a shout later… you’ve given me something to think about.. I guess you have something to think about too :)

I’m so proud of you for gaining 2 pounds… it really is AMAZING… considering the impact of Ana… don’t be discouraged, that is GREAT news.

Remember you are loved… you know… since I had my heart attack… I can not eat bacon cheese-burgers… french fries… milkshakes… deep fried jalapeno poppers…. OMG… a cornicopia of food left out there for you cause I can’t eat it :(

love you
Bright blessings~

Aww poor little hun, i hope you feel better soon and gain that much needed motivation, I can’t give an advice other than eat but you already know that and know it’s not that easy.
I hope that it just suddenly clicks and you ut on a ton of weight really quick :)

*Jumps on Courty and kisses the crap out of her*
Don’t lose hope, chica!!
You’ve had one unlucky streak, yes, but it’ll get better!! Especially when the bronchitis ends, then it’ll start getting better :-P
Good luck!!

I wish I knew what to say. Understandably words such as “everything is going to be ok” might not have the same effect anymore. But I can say that I care for you, and your health and that I really do, with every fabric of who I am hope things improve for you. I want you healthy and happy and I wish there was more I can do for you. If you’re having a hard time holding your head high I will hold mine up for you. Don’t give up, you have too many people that care.

I hope things get better for you Court, I really do. Hang in there, it will be worth it. *hugs*

think about it, 2 lbs i mor ehten none. Right? you just have to look at the positive. YOu are getting help, and u realize that you have a problem, thats a big step. For some people they dont admit to having a problem so they end up getting even more sick and hurt.

I dont know you at all, but i do believe you can get through this
all the best, and my support
-Carolina

The name of this post is “I wish I could tell you I was doing better.”
Well, you can, you put on 8 pounds (Which is amazing by the way) and even though you’ve had bronchitis and a broken toe thrown at you you’ve managed to still keep 2 of those pounds.

You can tell us you’re doing better, because you are. You’re doing great :)

*suc hugs courty forever*

Court, I have a punching bag for you, right here! For real, I’m not joking. One of my sons left it, and I can’t throw it away. Big, heavy and dressed with black leather.
But I’m too lazy to hang it up (it need a secure hook).

But seriously, cheer up! Don’t focus on your weight right now, just take care of your other medical conditions! Everybody looses weight when sick, you just don’t have any surplus so you are more harmed by it.

I liked the ”GRRRR” part of your post. I know you have guts. You are something special. But I fear that you sometimes forget about yourself, staying up too late. You need to sleep a lot, especially when having an infection. And try to get as much light as possible, I guess it’s dark mid-winter there now.

Light, vitamines, a lot of sleep, small-eating (fish if possible) and a glass of red wine every now and then. If you can’t eat fish, try fishliver oil in capsules!

And again, sleep much until the infection is cured! After that, you’ll see that you will gain some ballast again!

Don’t you like eating snacks while watching a movie? Place a bowl of cheese (cut in cubes), a bowl of smoked sausage in pieces, a bowl of green olives plus whatever unhealty stuff you like (as potatoe chips, peanuts, cheese doodles or whatever) in front of you and arm yourself with a tiny fork or some toothpicks. Pour up a glass of dark red wine, and off you go! If you don’t like wine, have some strong beer instead.
When the movie is over, you are supposed to be kind of half-stoned and will be able to sleep tight…

You are sleeping now. I am really concentrating hard, trying to direct some energy your way so you sleep well!

Love and hugs for you, Court!

I know I do not know you, but one thing struck me as I read your post. You were bothered by the fact that you have gained “only two pounds”. Does that mean you are ready to gain more? That’s how it sounds. The hardest part of mental illness is changing your thought pattern from unhealthy to healthy. If you are concentrating on weight gain again, then you’re on the right track. So, two pounds. That’s an accomplishment, because that’s two pounds in the right direction. Forget about losing more because of your current illness. That wasn’t your choice. But the remaining two pounds are a reminder of what your choice was, and is. There is so much good advice on this thread, and I hope you consider it. But I think you already know what you have to do. So good luck, and congradulations on getting this far.

Hey - you still have gone up not down - so your time there has not been wasted - not in the slightest! 8lbs! 8lbs! That’s wonderful! The 2 lbs you have left is a tibute to that!

You have done so well and come so far - you have managed to keep fighting even though you have had so many hurdles because of illness and bad times.

I have been so proud for you all this time you have been there and to think you’re still 2lbs up after having illnesses and being so very very low is amazing - you are getting there!

Keep going - get some warm comforting soup and some lemon and honey drink and cuddle up in some soft comforting duvets and blankets. Get that bronchitis and cold gone!

Please don’t give up - you’ve come so far, you have done so well! You CAN keep control over this you will keep getting healthy! Just get over this nasty bug and then you can keep getting there!

Big warming hugs!

Julie

EAT!
lots of chocolate,chips,crisps……….everything!!!
get a movie out,enjoy

im sorry, i dont have any advice *hugs* be strong! and i hope you do end up getting better soon

Courty you are not only worthy of nutrients, but you are worthy of the love and support you receive. You are an inspiration to all of us who have read your posts on Help. Your body may not be as strong as it needs to be, but it is clear by your posts that there is a fiesty girl in side of you. I hope you let her out to fight the good fight and give you the amazing life you deserve. You need to get better so you can help all the young ladies who go through what you are now. My intution tells me that you would be an amazing leader and teacher one day. You have a way with word and an amazing ability to inspire others, so I hope you use these talents to help others. My prayers are with you. I hope you learn to give yourself the life you deserve.

2 pounds! you think two pounds is nothing! it is something to celebrate! 2 pounds is almost 3 percent of your total weight. CONGRATULATIONS! Keep it up girl!

Courty, you have every reason on earth to be proud of yourself. You are the best and truest friend EVER…you have been to HELL and back and here your are still fighting for your life…AND you have amassed all of these people who apparently love you so much. So how on earth can you ever be so down? You are such a beautiful soul,lady…And if anyone can kick this thing in the a$$, it will be you. In the time that I have known you and laughed with you and cried with you, I have also grown with you. And because of you. And even in SPITE of you in some ways…hehehe…Omigod Courts, I love you so much it hurts…You are the woman that I have always wanted to be, but somehow just never had the moxy that you have shown day to day…You are the best…You will kick this thing and go on out into this world and show others how to kick it too…I know…because I’ve seen you doing it right here on this site…So please never ever give up…remember…you fall I fall…but you will NEVER fall…Because you are Courtney. The girl with the huge heart…All the love in the world for you, my soul sister…Now and always…Let ‘er ROLL!!…Look out world…here she comes..!
I LOVE YOU COURTY!!!!! Mandy

its a real knee slapper of a laugh isn’t it?
hehehe
so is everthing else that has happened
good luck
oh and that message you left on yahoo?
Right back atcha
Timing is perfect for just that response right back in your face,my cough friend.

You have my permission to punch Fin and Wilby in the ovaries until you feel better. And don’t scoff at two pounds especially since you’ve gotten the cold and gunkylung. Everybody loses weight during debilitating sickness so don’t hold that against yourself. I look forward to your sarcasim at every opportunity so hang in there. Take care and I’ll see you in chat - by the way, your not whining - you’re venting well placed anger and that’s good to.

every day is a fresh new morning, full of so many promises. Today looks sad and dreary, but remember the clouds and the rains have to come before the flowers will bloom. And you will bloom too, and leave all this saddness behind you. And when you are free of the saddness it will be like spring coming into your heart. I trust that because I know you have many dreams you still want to live, and a heart full of life and spirit. Its just some days you can only put one foot in front of the other, whereas others you leap up with joy. You will get back to that place, even if it seems far away.

sry to hear about that your not feeling well courtney. my bro has the sam problem he can’t even gain one pound let alone two. i hope you get to feeling better and no dying on us your too much of a great friend.

One day at a time Courtney, I hope your feeling better. Your doing great just getting the support you need, it maybe a long and winding road, but keep truckin along. once you get past the cold & eat you’ll gain some weight, the cold is a minor set back that makes you feel like crap, but all in all you are on the right path for yourself. Be well.

pamark is right courtney be well and once you get past this nasty cold(which seems to be going around everywhere) you will gain weight again and start th road to recovery. Good luck best wishes and i’m praying for you.

U can do it don’t give up!!! Time shall heal all, theres girls that get worst after 2 months, so look at the bright side u gained a little but f**k u gained it! =)

you will be healthy again don’t loose faith i’m still praying for you
