i feel scared to eat anything

[scaredtoeat]

i have changed my name for this for obvious reasons. I am a regular poster. if you know who i am please dont say as im very self concious about this.

After having my baby i put on a bit of weight have put on about 3 stone. i start eating something now take a coupe of bites then put it in the bin so dp doesnt know. he has noticed ive not been eating right. its not that i dont want to eat or anything its when i do i imagine it will make me huge and my appitite just goes.

dont know what to do and thought someone might have gone throught this or know what to do.

You need to get help! its not healthy and you need to stay wel for your baby hun, dont get me wrong i have been through this as a teenager and whe you do eventually want to eat its so hard, please talk to someone.

It sounds to me as if you are heading for an eating disorder - if not anorexia, then something close to it.

Not eating is not going to help you lose weight. Your body will think it's starving, your metabolism will slow down, and your body will hold on to every last calorie it can. Eating sensibly is the only way to lose weight, but I suspect that you already know that. You also already know that pretending to eat is not sensible.

Please try and stop this before it turns into something really nasty that you can't control. If you have already lost control of it, then please see your GP.

i am sitting here with a cheese burger and have had a couple of bites now feel full and sick.

Try and have something healthy to eat - an apple, if you don't fancy anything heavier. If you can't eat without it making you feel sick then you really do need to get some help.

If you can't face seeing your GP, the Eating Disorders Association are very helpful and may be able to give you some support.

Please get help.

i am still putting weight on thats the weird bit. i had this prob a while back and would bring up blood they thought i had an ulcer but nothing. a while back i couldnt eat without being sick (would never make myself sick) just feel crap and tired all the time.
