this invective written by someone who previously suffered from an eating disorder (something that i surmised even before being told considering the vitriolic language she used to describe overweight people) should never have been published. where were the editors? why would they think it was acceptable for one of their authors to write about anyone in this fashion? why are people still assuming that you can tell the state of someone’s health just by looking at them? and even IF all overweight people are unhealthy and burden taxpayers and the healthcare system do they deserve to be described as gross, with rolls and rolls of fat, and compared to drunks and herion addicts? both the author, who is a complete and total insensitive jerk (and who obviously needs therapy to work out her animosity towards fat individuals and self esteem issues), and the magazine should be held accountable for this article. it’s articles like this that give small minded and fatphobic loudmouth blowhard pretentious fools license to be hostile to overweight individuals as though they have the right to have some say over another individuals weight.
My family don’t take my BED seriously either, they just yell at me for eating all the food. They think because I’m a healthy weight that I don’t have a problem. I know where you’re coming from, but there are people that care. Trust me.
I'm at Remuda Ranch (One East Apache St., Wickenburg)

My name is Megan an I’m 17 years old and i have struggle with bulimia, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, self-harm, and even suicide attempts None of these factors in my life are full blown, but it make my day that much harder. I been through years of therapy and people that support me. I just cant stay home any longer because its making me worse. I just need to get away and find myself. I need help and i need God. So message me and tell me about ramuda and you experience.
Hey girl, it's odd that I came across this journal entry, as I was desperately searching Google for someone who might somehow relate. Well, here goes! I hope I am not bothering you by venting/asking for advice…
I'm a 22-year-old female who has suffered with an eating disorder for 14 years. Well, I've been in and out of treatment, therapy, and hospitals for the last three years (as the ED has gotten medically worse), and yet, I'm still struggling. I had an NG tube placed for weight restoration while at Remuda Ranch- I had it for two months. When I was admitted I was considered “medically emaciated” and had nearly died according to doctors in the hospital I was at before Remuda. I gained 30 pounds at the Ranch with the tube, then another six while at Remuda Life (despite frequently refusing the oral supplements Ensure/Boost).
Now, eight months later, I have lost twenty of the thirty-six pounds I had to gain to reach the low end of my “ideal weight range” that RR calculated for me, and I'm struggling deeply to maintain my weight. I really want recovery, as I can see how much I have in life (loving family, husband, friends, many possibilities, etc). I am not at the emaciated weight that I was before I went to Remuda, though.
I went into the doctor, embarrassed and disappointed in myself, and got up the courage to ask for the option of an NG tube in order to maintain/restore weight. My main doctor seemed like he would consider it, but then he went to talk to the head GP in the clinic, who told him that the NG tube is not an option for me because I'm not “emaciated.” All I want is to be able to get my brain back, along with my physical health, and I really do want recovery. The head GP even asked my doctor if I could “drink Ensures” to get my weight up. I mean, what makes him think that I could drink supplements like Ensure and Boost if I can hardly eat/keep down food? For me the NG tube = medicine, and purging is not an option due to the fear of aspirating the tube into my lungs (which can be fatal).
I guess my question is: How do I get doctors to take me seriously? I already feel like such a huge disappointment, and like a complete let-down to my family and husband and friends. I know I'm not severely underweight, but I don't want to get to that point again! What if this time, I were to die?! I don't want that at all, but I feel helpless at the hands of ignorant doctors! Is there some sort of specialist that you believe I could talk to that would actually listen to my concerns (besides ED specialists, as there are none in my city)? What sort of things should I talk to my doctor about so that he may consider this option before it's too late?!
I would appreciate any sort of advice you have…anything at all. I admire you for your honesty in your struggles.
If only we could “just eat”! Haha, isn't that what they ALL say? Sigh.
