((( Sonya ))) Two pounds could be water weight. It could be anything. Just think you were eating less than 500 cals and not losing. Then for several days you ate well and the scale went up only 2 pounds. Okay, I know 2 pounds is scary for us. But I bet you thought it would have gone up more.
Anyhow, I think you need to talk to your therapist. Find out if she has experience dealing with EDs. If not, find a therapist that does. It doesn't mean you have to give up your behaviours. It means you can you work on the issues now and not carry them around with you for as long I have.
You can babble mail me any time okay or email me at need2starve@yahoo.ca

> Thanks for your concern. After my pdoc's lecture of last Friday I increased my caloric intake this weekend. I GAINED 2 LBS! When I got on the scale this morning, I got so depressed. I feel like a total failure. I didn't eat any junk food, just small portions of protein (chicken, eggs) and more veggies. So today I'm back to 500 cal or less and I don't care what pdoc says. I'm petrified of gaining. Besides the additional calories didn't make me feel any better. I was still real tired by mid-day. I think it's the Wellbutrin.

> I'm so sorry you've been dealing with your ED for so long. It must be very disabling. I know I get too preoccupied with my diet so it's hard to think about anything else. It feels like it becomes my life, the only reason why I keep living. If I get fat again, I don't want to live...I hate myself too much.
