You are thirty pounds from your target weight meaning you need to gain? Please don't freak out either way. You're still you.....no matter what you weigh. Remember, you don't see yourself the way others do. First you must GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION to get over this illness. Why don't you try taking it one week at a time? Just say "for one week, I won't weigh myself, and I will eat like a normal person. At the end of that week, if I can't stand it anymore, I can weigh myself." When that time frame is over, try it again, and again..... You must give yourself permission...don't you deserve it? Of course you do! Go out and get the healthy body you deserve. You will have setbacks, everyone does, and it takes time. Expect that, but if you take it slowely and just have faith in yourself IT WILL WORK FOR YOU. I know it will, I have been very thin and afraid to gain....years ago. Working out helped me, gaining muscle and feeling fit is a great feeling. It changes everthing, they way you feel about yourself, they way you look, etc. That's how I got out of my being too-thin situation....it made me start thinking differently and the great thing was that I didn't mind it like I thought I would. My best to you. -L
