Wth?!?

Vanessa sweetie, I understand how you feel! When I was 16 years old, my mother had enough and she took me to the hospital and had me checked in. I was so angry and started cry and begging her to take me home and that I would eat. But huni you know as well as I do that I never had that intention, I just wanted to go home and continue controlling my own life. Going to that hospital was the best thing that ever happened to me. I finally was able to look into a mirror and see me again, not some disfigured person that I had created in my own sick mind. The difference is hun, that I wasn’t pregnant when I was getting well, so I had more time. Vanessa you don’t! Your baby needs you to get well and needs the nutrients now! Please stop crying, wipe your tears, go into the kitchen make a healthy snack and show your mom that you want to get better. If nothing else go to the hospital to learn how to feed yourself again and how to look in the mirror “normally” again. Trust that everything will get better soon, because I know it will! If you need to talk more, don’t hesitate!

Van,
megan is right. Do what is best for your baby right nowm not yourself. You haev to eat, keep it down, and make the right decisions for your child. Even if those decisions are not ones you like, a hospital wouldn't be the end of the world. Who knows it might help.
We all love you,
chanda

You girls are so amazingly supportive it's incredible...I honestly was waiting to get a reply back saying that I should stop being selfish and eat for god sakes! Even though that's the truth, you guys are really helping to motivate me to get my butt in gear...I'm giving myself 3 days to eat properly and stay healthy, both physically and mentally...If I fail in either, I told my mom that maybe I should be admitted into a program in the hospital, like you said chanda, maybe it's not the end....I'm hoping it's just the beginning, beginning of something good...I'll keep you all posted throughout these next 3 days, pray for me!
Vanessa

Hey hun... Ive been talking to u alot and I know you can do this. I know it.You are a strong person. If I can do this, so can you. Were both going through the same things together. You will just need to try your very very hardest to do this on your own.. Ive been admitted to the hospital for my eating disorder for a month. .And it is not fun.. I wouldve much rather of done it on my own... Being there made me crazy..And the people there arent the best.. At least if your at home u can make the decsision of what foods you want, and when etc, but now u just have to do it to whats fits you and your babys nutritional needs.. But anyhow.. I just know you can do it. Anytime u think of restricting just tell yourself, that if u skip a meal, your making your little hungry baby skip it's meal too. I know how much u already love your baby so just keep your little angel in mind and I know you will do just fine. This will just test your inner strength, cuz god knows we all need alot of it to be a mother*

Yes yall can do this if u have an eating disorder, just think of ur precious child..Everyone of yall are capable ..I know ya'll are..Yall are beautiful! Dont let ur mind fool you..Oh yea I got some interesting info off the internet a min ago....Low-calorie intake can cause the mother's stored fat to break down, leading to the production of substances called ketones. Ketones, which can be found in the mother's blood and urine, are a sign of starvation or a starvation-like state. Constant production of ketones can result in a mentally retarded child.
so ur doctor could b able to tell just in ur urine, so please girls, eat..Please. :p
