Wow, I feel bad for you having to live with someone who just doesn't understand this at all. I'm glad you were able to get away for a while at least. I know it must suck to have everyone constantly going on about your weight though. I know everytime I come home I hear about it too. This time I was at least under 90 so it kinda made sense, but usually I am only down 5 pounds or so. I can't imagaine coming home after losing 20-25! I mean, that has to be hard! I don't know if I've ever lost that much so quickly either -- I can't imagine what you must be going through. Usually, I end up losing 1-2 pounds a day until I'm down about 10 or so, and then I just don't have the energy to go on anymore and I have to gain some back. I really hope you can start to get better, and maybe going home will help you. It must be so absolutely awful to feel the way you must everyday. I wish you were closer by, and then we could be roommates cause we'd at least understand what the other of us was going through! I have a new roommate for the next month over the summer. I haven't met her yet and know nothing about her, but it's never fun moving in and being "the anorexic girl." I haven't been doing so great with the purging either -- so I'm not sure what I'll do! I know I really need to stop all together, and put on some weight... we'll see. Anyway, I hope that the rest of your time there goes ok, and of course, that things will improve when you get home. Please keep trying to take things one step at a time and one day at a time. You can get through this -- we both can, it's just hard for us to see sometimes. Take care, ok Gwennie. Luvs, ~Kris~

Dear Gwen, I'm so sorry you are still so sick. That worries me that you've had this stomach ailment for so long and that you've lost so much weight. Please do your best to do what the doctors are telling you to do -- although from what I've read I'm not impressed with the way you're being treated. Please take care of yourself; it's hard to enjoy Magic Mountain when your stomach isn't agreeing with you!

Thank you for the note. I know, no one deserves this. You don't either. Have you been on livejournal recently? There is this huge pro anorexia/pro bulimia movement going on. It's so sick. Your grandma seems really sweet. And I hope you get better soon, you've been sick so long. Just remember to stay hydrated. Drink lots of gatorade, it's good for you even though it tastes like it should make you feel guilty.
