DD1 needs help again

[MrsBexie]

Just wondering how your DD is??

[KimB]

We have the GP appointment today. I haven't made it a big thing though to DD as she might very well run off and not go I have told her it is for a check up and to have her wieghed and see if she needs the dietician again. Sneaky I know but I also know DD.

She is still not eating breakfast and if she can get away with it lunch as well. We have been sitting down and eating at the dining table lately so we can watch how much she eats. I don't put a lot on her plate so she doesn't feel daunted but I have noticed she is not eating everything on there either. If she could she would live on energy drinks and cigarettes. Real healthy.

Fingers crossed my GP remembers my talk with him and can just start assessing her when we get there.

Another one with a history of an ED here. I also had trouble again after the birth of DD. it's such a horrible thing for both the sufferer and those around them. I spent 3mths in one treatment facility and short stays here and there. It upsets me when doctors put people in he category of not bad enough, because the earlier ED are treated the better! Hope all goes well today and she gets into treatment soon! Dr Phil is on ED today if your interested.

Oooooooh thanks em. If I can get to my telly (DD2 & DD3 are watching ABC2) then I will switch over. I think I have seen just about every show that Oprah did though

I've been where your daughter is, at the same age. You're doing an awesome job just by KNOWING what she's up to. My mum didn't realise I was slipping into an ED or that I was smoking. It took me until I was 20 to realise the damage I was doing and help myself. Part of the reason I'm slightly chunky now is that I don't want to fall into the trap again. I can't describe how addictive it was to deny myself EVERYTHING. And I still can't explain why.

Keep in her face about it. Do not back down. She needs your loving hand to guide her. You're a wonderful, present and observant parent. Sending you all some strength.

I have only just seen this, but wanted to offer some hugs. Your DD is much the same age as mine... it's a scary thing, parenting teens, at the best of times, much harder to be dealing with what you are. Much love & support to you

Thinking of you and your DD on this extrememly hard journey - sending heaps of hugs.

**UPDATE**

DD saw our GP who questioned her quite extensively re her drug habit. Apparently she has smoked a $50 by herself She must have been off her face after that much. She told him about smoking cigarettes as well and he was not happy with her. He weighed her and she is 47 kg (more than I thought) and she is 174cm tall. He wrote up a new referral for us to see the specialist and hopefully this time we get in. I'm hoping, that by her knowing we know what she is up to, that she will stop itms lol. Oh well waiting to hear from the specialist now. Not to long I hope

I'm glad things are moving forward for you. Each step forward is closer to your DD getting better.

Thinking of you! xoxoxx
