Chey,

I agree with Juls, I see lots of warning signs for you. Being underwieght or thin isn't a problem I face. I am in reality very overwieght. But I do know what it is not to be happy with yourself and not like the way I look. To be unhealthy because there is stress on my body because of the wieght.

You need to take a really honest look at yourself and hear what your doctor has said to you because you can also be unhealthy when you are using pills and other means of wieght lose that harm you. You defeat the very purpose that you set out to attain.

Can I ask a very personal question? Is weight a big issue with your family, or was it while you were growing up?

If so maybe you should seek some professional help with this. Seems like the hardest thing for you is to accept yourself for who you are. That's far more important in life than anything others have to say about you or your appearance.

Keep coming back here, we're here for you and woul like to hear more.
