One thing that I have learnt from going along to those support groups i've been sheppereded too is that while the sufferer may be in the contmeplation stage, like knowing what we're doing is unhealthy, the parents are in the action stage and expect us to be there too. They dont get it, and I guess we cant blame them. I hope everything goes fab for you, I hope you dont do as I did...When my parents found out I had to stop purging, but now i've started restricting in a major way. I'm boerderline anorexia aswell, so I guess we're in the same boat. I dont think either is mentally more healthy, but phsycially in the beginning anorexia is, but it has bad complecations after a long time. Neither is good, neither should be considered good, but i'm been a total hypcrit when I say that to you, because its exactly what I say t my self "well atleast i'm not throwing up anymore, its more healthy this way". *sigh* its all so hard!
