It's v...take this more seriously please, dear. It's very clear you're trying your best and I sympathise with you as it's difficult balancing strictness with empathy for the sufferer. However, ultimately there's the need to be 'cruel to be kind' and properly implement schemes to halt further weight loss. Otherwise, your daughter will lapse further into this horrific cycle and it feels increasingly inescapable. I don't say this to attack you, as you sincerely do seem to have your daughter's best interests in mind; however, I have no doubts you'd be thrilled to see genuine progress and improvements, so this is just a gentle hint that you really need to press more firmly down that path. All the best! xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533015960615782466.post-47104055840075913432010-05-16T02:25:26.496+01:002010-05-16T02:25:26.496+01:00please please treat this more seriously.
I really ...please please treat this more seriously.<br />I really can see you trying but it seems you're torn between trying to keep Waif happy and trying to keep her healthy...<br /><br />please realise that eating 'junk food' in addition to 'healthy' food cannot harm her body any more than anorexia can.<br /><br /><3Girl.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12138102536171702225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533015960615782466.post-6503919376634133482010-05-15T06:28:21.400+01:002010-05-15T06:28:21.400+01:00Ahh I feel for you, but frankly, if she's avoi...Ahh I feel for you, but frankly, if she's avoiding such a significant range of energy-dense 'fear foods', the issue remains quite serious. Her reaction to the cheesecake sounds remarkably familiar though; I remember once the foods I avoided were re-introduced, I ate them frantically and recklessly. Whilst it's great she managed to do that, realise also that the gusto with which she consumed it is partially symptomatic of her condition in re-feeding. It can be almost mechanical and involuntary, so her claim of disliking the food was only natural, as the experience was possibly associated with considerable shame. <br /><br />I know you're doing so well, but I urge you to treat this with the seriousness necessary, so your daughter can have the life and health she deserves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
