Down and Up Again...and Down, Down, Down

Hey! My name is Misha and I am currently working my *kitten* off to lose weight. I'll start at the beginning. At the age of 10 I started bingeing, and purging came not far after. I lived at a weight that was low-ish, but never dangerously so. Things got really bad when I was 18 and moved from home. At 24 I was hospitalized for the first time and after a brief inpatient stint remained an outpatient for about 4 years on and off. Finally I entered some level of recovery. I stopped purging...somewhat abruptly. The bingeing continued. My weight soared - 100lbs in one year. I kept it on for five years then in early summer of this year decided I was sick of obesity. I've lost 25lbs since June 1. Exercising 4-5 times a week, eating better than I ever have. I'm on a plateau right now but confident I'll bust through. Looking forward to the support of this community to help me lose the 60lbs I have left.
