From Obese to Anorexic - in a year

Marie Westwood has been through a rollercoaster of excessive weight-loss, and she has allowed the TV cameras to record her feelings.

One of the most extraordinary stories covered by 91热爆 Midlands Today, the daily regional TV news programme, concerns a Staffordshire woman who couldn't stop eating - and then couldn't stop starving herself.

91热爆 reporter Catrin Nye met Marie Westwood from Burton-on-Trent - and you can see Catrin's video report about Marie by clicking on the link further down this page.

Marie

Marie ballooned to 18 stone by the time she was 22.

But then, fed up with her weight, she started dieting, then making herself sick, and finally eating nothing at all.

In just twelve months, Marie shed an amazing thirteen stone.

Marie had reached an astonishingly gaunt and stick-thin weight of just five stone - before realising she had to learn to eat again... or die.

In the report, Marie tells the story of how she's living with the consequences and trying to rebuild her life.

Advice

Marie's experience is not however one to be copied if anyone wants to live healthily.

The 91热爆's health experts have put together webpages designed to help you reach your right weight without endangering your well-being. They also want to dispel some of the myths about eating disorders.

I was once 95 pounds wet with my clothes on.. I was anorexic when I was a teenager..then my mother discovered that I had been starving myself and all hell broke lose.
I "gained" a few pounds and yo-yoed until I had my first child. My weight slowly went up and up and up. It went down and down and down. My first pregnancy.. I weighed 120 pounds to start..ended up at 180 after I had her... gained 20 pounds over the next 7 years.. got pregnant again.. gained 14 pounds with the second pregnancy and managed to lose 80 after I had him.. I was all baby.
Fast forward to 7.5 years later.. I weigh 265 pounds. I am 36 years old.. terrible marriage..even worse job. Don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs. Husband doesn't care to hear about my feelings or my worries..so what do I turn to? Food..lots and lots of it. Now..I hate myself..I am ugly. I am fat..and "I suck in bed".. that is a direct quote from my "husband".. I am seriously thinking about starving myself.. and actually I would be ok if I just drank Slim Fast right? I mean..my kids would have extra food now.. cause a family of 4 like ours with a husband who makes awesome money refuses to buy groceries..or pay the bills..and I, making only 10 bucks an hour has to pay for it all.. he gets to joy ride with "his" money. that is 84 more meals my kids could be eating a month right?????? they can have seconds..or thirds if they want.
My question is.. how to do it.. do I have the will power to control this "fat, ugly" body? Clothes would be cheap too.. I can finally find something at the Good Will to wear....

stay in there! keep fit and keep healthy! nobody needs to be stick thin but i think a size 10 or 12 is an appropriate size for you after seeing the midland today news! i hope you manage to keep your weight healthy and feel good in yourself!
