New. Hoping to connect.

Options
I am 45. Married with 4 children; ages 24, 14, 7 and 5. I have tried many! weight loss programs, diets and fads. All I've done is gain more weight. I struggled with anorexia early in life and continue to struggle with finding moderation.

I would love to connect with others that can relate or someone interested in just being a mentor.

Also, I just started using a misfit if anyone is looking to make a connection.

    Nice to find a fellow 45 year old with the same struggles. I've battled anorexia since I was 14 and have been recovering since. It's such a long process and never seems to go away. I have learned many great skills and better coping methods along the way but that ED voice is ever present. I also work on balance in my life. Not too much or too little is my goal in life. Nice to meet you!

    45, 3 kids here. Anorexia, bulimia, BED, orthorexia! I'm equal opportunity! Doing much better now. Digging in hard to not restrict, at all which has been taking away any urge to binge!!!

    That's great! I find this app reminds me to eat because my first instinct is to restrict. Keeping a balance is key.
