    I myself feel like the heavier I am the more im going to get sick. I also think that it will be worse as well. What do you think?

    I personally dont think it matters because i felt just as sick when i was like 75 lbs and unhealthy and anorexic as i do now.. and i am like 35 lbs heavier.. i dont see a diff.. or feel a diff for that matter . in some cases it was worse when i was thinner..

    I do worry that if I get too thin, and I get very sick, that I will be worse off because i'll have less to lose. I think i'm a healthy weight at the moment - 9 st 7 (I think thats about 134 lbs) or 60 kg and a UK dress size 10 - but I worry that if I lose a lot of weight then I don't have the 'scope' to get ill too much.. does that make ANY sense at all???

    I really don't see where it would matter either way.[img]smileys/smilies_12.gif[/img]

    I feel healthier if I am skinny because I do not eat sugary and fat things then and that means I do not stress my stomach.

    I have been healthier and less sick now that I am heavier. When I was thinner I got sick easier and had nothing to fight back with if I was sick.
    I don't think weight plays on being an emet or not though. I think eating healthy is the key. if you eat healthy and are heavy then at least you have nutrients in your body.
