Hello! I am new here and wanted to introduce myself.
I was bulimic/anorexic for 17 years and in my 7th year of recovery.
Losing weight for me is a struggle as I have to navigate triggers, but I would like to try![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
I have some emotional weight left on I would like to shed.
Thanks!

Hi there! Just want to welcome you! I love this site and find it very helpful in many, many weighs:laugh: I really love watching my ticker change as I lose weight! That is so much incentive! The calorie counter is fantastic! The support from other members is unending! I pray you are successful in your weight loss endeavor and achieve a healthy balance in your life!
I am 49 years old, have lost 39 pounds so far and yes, I did have Lap-Band surgery to assist me, after decades of playing the yo-yo game with no success! Now it is all about eating healthy, eating small portions and exercising! I just had a hysterectomy April 1st so I have a little recovery time before I can hit the gym, but I can't wait!
Just remember if you feel you are relapsing, DO NOT WAIT, immediately ask for help! We can all give you some emotional support here, but nothing replaces a professional who KNOWS HOW to really help most! I have OCD so I know a bit about addictive disorders:flowerforyou:0 -
If you ever need anyone to talk to I'm sure almost anyone on here would be willing to help(:
Trust me, I know what you're going through darling!0 -
Recovering bulimic/ compulsive overeater here! This is a great place for support. Feel free (and please do) add me if you'd like0

Thanks everyone! I feel very strong in my ED recovery, but as far as losing weight goes...it's tough if you do it the healthy way!!:noway:
I am in grad school for clinical counseling and graduate next year so I have a good support group for ED there...but I just need one for losing this weight.
Getting motivated (and avoiding the cheese) is the hardest for me!
Thanks again.0 -
Good luck!0
