Welcome to Health Boards! It’s nice to have some newbies here, too. :)
You came to the right place… there are plenty of people here who’ll be happy to support you and give you advice. :)
It’s good that you are able to talk to your parents. I think it’s so much nicer to know that they understand. :)
Exercise is good, but if your parents DO allow you to begin exercising again, do it only in moderate amounts. It’s great to avoid depression; you don’t want to be stuck living with an eating disorder AND depression, after all! Just don’t overdo it. A low body weight can so easily cause depression.
Don’t let yourself believe that you are to blame for this disorder. You’re not. This disease can affect anybody. It’s like any other disease, you can’t stop yourself from getting those, and it’s not a whole lot different with anorexia! Your parents don’t blame you, they’re just sad for you, and afraid for you, but in no way would they blame you. :)
110 pounds is not a lot for someone your height, so there’s no reason to be afraid of reaching it. Of course, I know it’s not as easy as that with a distorted body image and all… but one day you’ll be able to do it! :) For now though, make 100 your goal, and work up from there. Maybe if you see that you really don’t look fat at 100 pounds, you’ll be able to go a little higher? Worth a try, right? Beats the alternative!
Please, post back and let us all know how you’re getting on. Once again, welcome to the boards! :)
