My heart goes out to you as well. This soes control your mind. I suffer from your same exact symptoms. I wish the weeks of not eating would go by really quickly. I work like a horse so that I won't have to be at home around food. My mom was actually morbiddly obese when I was younger. When I was 13 I observed my mother as she was losing her weight drastistcally, and quickly. She slept all the time, I don't remember seeing her eat. I knew I was a heavy girl,(185 @ 14yrs), so I took everything she was doing and put it in to action. I used to freak out when I had a stick of gum, because it had 5 calories. I am now 24 years old. I've had an eating disorder for 10 years now. I have complete sympathy for you, because I understand the most confusing thoughts, and the depression of always having to think about whether you are going to allow yourself to have something to eat tomorrow, when there are so many people in this world, that can go to sleep at night, and live their lives thinking so something so much more enjoyable. I know many people go through, and that is supporting, but in this disease, one can't help feel completely alone. Sorry I ramble a lot, it's nice to be able to get these things out of mind. My mom slowly went back into her obese lifestyle, while I continued my starvation. When my mom figured it out(what I was going through) she became very angry with me. We actually have not spoken in 6 yrs.
