I have been anorexic and in disordered eating for 25 years. The only way to gain control and be safe is to diet and constantly restrict calories to less than 500 per day. I have never been bulimic -afraid any little calorie will stick. I forgot how to eat normal. I have not had a cookie, pie, candy, pizza, etc in 25 years. I do not know how I will reach my goal of 92 pounds because my metabolism is slow. I have tried all the tricks to boost it but it still crawls. I am newly married but depressed all the time. I have a 16 year old boy who is self absorbed and has no time for family.
