Hi Joanna,

I'm so glad that you are getting yourself more help!
I battle with the appietite loss everyday.

A couple of months ago at 5'7" and weighing only 97lbs I was basically told, that if I didn't start eating and gaining weight... hospitilization was a real possibility.

It was so hard, food was not appealing at all, and I just wasn't hungry.
Fruit was the first thing I started forcing myself to eat.
Banana's, apples, and melons seemed to be gentle on my tummy.
If I wasn't able to finish the entire banana in one sitting, I would put it to the side, and force myself to finish it later!
I stayed far away from greasy foods, because those just seemed to make me feel more nausaus.

Think small portions, several times throughout the day.
The best method I found (when I have enough energy to do it...) is to pack yourself a "day" lunch.
That way, there is no cooking/preparing/etc. you just reach into your "lunch bag" and snack. Heck, I had to walk around with it, just so I would eat!

And make sure your partner is on your ass about eating!
My boyfriend portions me out my meals now... and watches over me to ensure that I finish ALL the food on my plate.
Yes you might feel like a kid... but it's better than being admitted to the hospital for starvation.

Right now I'm 110lbs, and still have to force myself to eat.
But after seeing some older pictures of myself (from months ago) and looking at my "bony stick figure" body... I felt sick... at the time I hadn't realized just how bad it had gotten.
