I'm looking for friends to help/motivate me to lose weight the healthy way. I've suffered with anorexia my whole life and during last treatment stay was put on terrible medication that made me gain too much weight. I'm now at 210lbs and trying to remain healthy while losing it. Please help!

Are you working with your treatment team?3

Do your treatment team know you are on here?1

I'm actually looking for a new team to work with, but I am still in touch with a very special counselor.
I did not agree with all the pharmaceuticals they wanted me to take.0 -
If you want to be healthy I don't think calling your post ana girl is a good start4
-
Logging your food on a site like this can be a massive trigger if you are not well on your way to recovery.3

Ok, does your very special counselor know you are posting here?1
-
What does me posting here have to do with anything? Are y'all the trolls of the fitness app community or something? Wow.1

Good luck with your journey..Get good plan and work hard2

Just trying to stop you getting Ill again that's all. Calorie counting can become obsessive for any one, let alone some one with a history of an ED.
Normally when you are recovering you are set a plan. It will say no weighing yourself, no more than 30 minutes exercise, must eat xyz amount of food etc.

Many treatment teams/counselors do not feel that exposure to weight loss forums (especially since there can be some very bad advice given out in these forums that counter what your treatment team may want for you) is beneficial to recovery.
In addition, counting calories in general can cause people to spiral into disordered behavior again. This may not be a problem for you, but you really should be working with a professional and get their advice for dealing with a weight loss/calorie counting site.7 -
I wasn't referring to you RunAroundAField, I was referring to the one who asked "does your very special counselor know your posting on here."
This is the only way I can make sure I'm getting the amount of calories I NEED. If I don't track my food, I will just not eat at all. At least this way, if I don't log my food in, I can get a reminder to do so.2 -
And I don't own a scale, but I went to the doctor Wednesday and discussed my weight loss and TRACKING MY FOOD.0

So why not just say that instead of calling people trolls?3 -

Then best of luck with it. I would set your self to a very slow rate of loss. Work out your TDEE and eat 100 calories below it. Make sure you get adequate protein and fats.
Don't rush it, slow and steady is the way to do it healthily

That's fine. Just, as a community, we get concerned with giving people advice in direct conflict of what their recovery team/doctors want.2 -
I shouldn't have to explain myself to anyone. I came here asking for friends to help and she trolled my post. I mean that's what she did. If she wasn't interested in helping, she could have minded her own business and kept it moving.TavistockToad wrote: »PrettyLikeDrugz wrote: »I wasn't referring to you RunAroundAField, I was referring to the one who asked "does your very special counselor know your posting on here."

As I just explained, I discussed this ALL with my doctor Wednesday. Look, I'm not a 15 years old girl. I'm a 40 year old woman. I didn't come here for therapy, I'm here to lose weight and STAY healthy.1 -
40 year olds who don't want to relapse don't refer to themselves as ana5

But that's the disorder I have. And that would be helpful in letting people be aware that I DO have a disorder. The thing to do if I wanted to relapse would be asking people for motivation and ways to lose weight without making them aware of my history. I clearly said I wanted help losing weight and REMAINING HEALTHY and if you're not on my post to do that, what are you on my post for? To argue about ME??0 -
Just find it strange since that is pro Ana speak. I'm a mostly recovered anorexic myself who's 40 but I qualify it by saying mostly recovered1

But I'm not recovered, I still struggle. So if I wrote recovered anorexic, that would be a lie.

It's not that you refer to yourself as anorexic that I have issues with, it's the use of the word ana but if you want to use it all power to you just letting you know the only place I see people using ana are in pro Ana communities1
-
I came here for support and advice from others who have may have suffered with an eating disorder and got well, but it seems like everyone wants to attack me for being on here.
First of all, my doctor knows I'm doing this, it was his suggestion because I have gained too much weight from a medication I was put on that I should have never been put on.
Second, I shouldn't be asked questions about my doctor or therapy, that's private and to me overstepping boundaries. I would never question someone about something that private.

Well, it's hard to tell, since you're being as defensive as a 15 year old girl0 -

There's far too little talk about being a vegan in this discussion.2

@_Waffle_ that's because she changed one word in her title0

I would love to be your fitness pal. We can hold each other accountable to log in our meals and be sure we are getting proper nutrition while losing fat the healthy way.
You can do it!
