Straight up talk therapy. The more I reflect back on the experience, I think I was caught up in a form of social contagion (thank goodness there was no social media). It was during the time when there were afterschool specials and "movies of the week" talking about anorexia. Add to that my very dysfunctional homelife and I was ripe for some kind of emotional affliction. I struggled greatly with accepting the need to gain weight while pregnant with my first two kids, but eventually that struggle went away. I think coming to know Christ definitely made a difference too. Now, I hardly think about it, but at one time, it was all I thought about. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
