I am new to this forum, but not this site. I am 19years old, and weigh 120lbs at 5'9". This is the lowest weight I have ever been at (except in earlier years). Still, I think I am fat. I dont eat except for a light dinner. October of last year, I got pregnant and lost my baby at 6 1/2 weeks. I then got pregnant for the second time in March and just recently lost another one of my angels in the first week of May. I have been doing some research and I am coping to come to the realization that I do have an eating disorder. I also have been having a temendously hard time dealing with the loss of 2 of my babies. But, knowing that I have an eating disorder makes it that much harder. What if it is my fault? Its my fault I lost my babies. What if I can never have kids again? That would kill me. I have a doc. appt tomorrow and will be talking about all this. Later next month I will also be going through some tests to make sure I am fertile, and check to see if everything was just bad luck. Please keep me in your prayers and thoughts during this very traumatic time. God Bless!

Hi Brittney,


I am so sorry you lost your babies. I can't even begin to imagine how hard that must be. My prayers are definitely with you.


The good thing is that you have admitted to yourself that you have an ED and that you need help. I am glad you are going to talk to your doctor about everything and hope it will be helpful. Please check back in and let us know what he/she said.

Love & hugs, Kristina
