Hi & Welcome! There are some great tools on MFP to help you on your journey and the people on the forums are very encouraging.
So glad you are working to conquer your eating disorder! I suffer from binge-eating disorder and food addictions myself. Taking steps to take care of yourself is the best thing you can do, you got this!!!0 -

I meant to say more. You can definitely do this. For me, the secret is to avoid processed foods. Like foods from factories. They trigger me into a lack of self control. Food from farms don't do that. I also recommend lots of self care. We eat for so many reasons. Try to care for yourself so you can eat for hunger more and emotional support less... that helps me. I wish you the best.0
