I'm so pleased to hear from you Sharon!

I've been in a similar place to you concerning body size and clothes size but I've got so much better lately. I was also was buying my clothes in the children's department until recently, but that's over now!

Believe me there is a way out. It took me a while to put the weight back on, but I finally did it. Some people don't realize that's it's just as hard to put weight on as it is to lose it, but over a period of time I started to get back up towards the ideal weight for my height.

To be honest, there are times when I wonder if I've put on to much! Maybe I was anorexic and didn't realize it....who knows!

When you've been as thin as you and I have been.... altered body image is hard to come to terms with.

Please keep in touch Sharon........We're all interested in hearing how you're going.

Thanks, but I eat a lot, but cannot eat large
meals, because it triggers seizures, so I have
to divide them up into small portions, so I'm
eating all the time. I've been monitored in the
Hospital for a week, twice, and was seizing, but
my diet was fine, but still loosing weight, because
of the seizures.

Trust me on this, after coming out of it, I'm hungry
and thirsty as a horse like I hadn't eaten for 2-3 days
or more! So I'm always eating. Eat, Sleep, Seize.

*sigh*

No fun! I seize a lot in my sleep but have no awareness
of it and when I have real bad ones, my whole sleep
cycle gets messed up big time. I should be asleep
right now (considering it's 3:37 AM EDT at the time
of posting my time), so it takes me several days or
more to get all back in sync if my brain behaves itself!

I'm so sorry!

Please know that I'm thinking of you and if I could help in any way, I would.

Thank you for the update, Sharon. I'm still praying for your comfort and divine intervention to stop those seizures.

So sorry to hear you are going through so much. I will be praying for you and your mother. May all our prayers bring you the peace that already seems to be yours. I do so admire your courage. Hugs
