Hi i am 32.  I struggled with anorexia about 4 years ago and went from 70kg to 48kg.  I went through a program and gained weight again.  I got married this year March and weight 61kg on my wedding day.  4 months later i weighed 74.  So i started to throw up every time after i had something to eat.  It has been going on for 4 weeks nou and i'm already down to 67kg.  I want to stop but am scared that i will pick up wieght the minute i stop.  I am also trying to get pregnant and though that once i'm pregnant i can stop because then there is a reason for me to pick up weight.  I've also tried the healthy way of loosing weight seeing a dietician but the weight lost is to slow for me.  What can i do if i stop to ensure that i wont be putting on any weight.

You are probably not going to like this answer, or rather your disease won't like it! What you need to do is stop worrying about a few pounds here and there. That worry is what makes your eating disorder worse. You need to get your eating disorder under control and then learn to eat healthy and your weight will be fine. You need to do this before you consider getting pregnant. I suggest getting a referal to a therapist experienced with eating disorders and or going to OA. It won't get better, only worse if you don't.
