How do I get out of my anorexic habits?

Simply a Rose to brighten your day,         And maybe lessen the cares in your way;         And also, too, to help you to know,         That in knowing you, many others grow!

  Don’t take hungry’s “fatten you up” in a negative context. It simply means to help you gain an appropriate amount of weight.

Learn to stop fearing food. Food, by itself, does not make you “fat”. It is your mental attitude that goes along with food that determines whether it is going to be fattening or nutritious. In your case, it will be nutritious.

Learn to appreciate food as your body’s friend and savior and you will find eating more enjoyable. You are fortunate. You have so far to go before you even have to worry about what you weigh that you can eat any and every thing that you want.

You know, or can ask your doctor, what weight you should strive for. Set goals of amount to gain in a week; in 2 weeks; a month and 6 months. As you attain your goals, it becomes easier and you will be happier.

Set other goals too, such as things you want to do, or have. Set yourself a goal to be healthy!
