A member asked:

I've battled with anorexia for 19 years, will i ever stop worrying about my weight and get fat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Quite impressive: if you are 15 years of age and have been aware of this for 19 years! Sorry just had to point it out. You will require counselling and a strong support group to change your body dysmorphic image (BDD). Best wishes.
