    Don't view those ladies as intimidating, if they look fit then view them as an inspiration. You should stop worrying and go to the gym to work on your goals otherwise you're just prolonging it! Make sure you are eating hearty meals.

    I'm sure everyone of them felt that intimidation as well when they started but it doesn't take long to feel at home.

    *kitten*, I went from intimidated in the gym, to feeling out of place without it. Once you see gainz it becomes your happy place.

    Pretty close to my personal experience as well.

    Marium - from another person who has overcome an eating disorder - WELL DONE!! It's not easy and to be honest it never really goes away you just learn how not to let it rule. So be gentle with yourself. I'm really sorry your GP has not given you a referral for further help. I highly recommend BEAT, which is the eating disorder charity. They have a helpline and they are fantastic. They may be able to give you further advice on where to get local help and support and they may even be able to offer you support on how to gain weight. Very best of luck to you, I hope you stay well x
