edited October 3 in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone, my names Charlotte and this is my 1st post :)

Joined because ive gained quite a lot of weight after losing it from an eating disorder. I was 8stone 12 and am now 11stone 5 so im living proof that starving will never work in the long run but unfortunatly its a mind set thats hard to get out of. Luckily i've finaly seen the light and im here to lose the weight i've gained but in a healthy and sensible way. Im really excited for this change, its took me so long.

Anyways, just thought i'd introduce myself :) x x

    Hi Charlotte,

    Im Joy.
    Never had a real eating disorder, I just tend to over eat! haha!
    MFP does help you track what youve eaten. Ive been on here for 2 weeks now, and its amazing to see how many calories ya consuming!

    Good luck with the weight loss.

    :D

    Welcome!!! As someone battling mild anorexia I see hope in the fact that you overcame. It lets me know I will too.

    You will do but in your own time. Its a hard battle and although i never got as far as anorexia an ED can still be as serious. Looking back i hope to never be that way again. I've learnt that no amounts of words ect from anyone can make someone come out of an ED themselves, they have got to want it but with a bit of determination hopefully things will improve for you, good luck :)
