Joining MFP

What is everybody's reason for making a new start and joining My Fitness Pal?

Same reasons as my "about me" says: I've tried losing weight before, albeit in very unhealthy ways. I regret these decisions so much, so I've decided to try to undo as much of the damage as possible by getting fit and healthy. I'd love to make connections here and help encourage others to get healthy as well!

I used to get asked quite frequently if I was pregnant, and it just got way too much. There were constantly rumours about me being pregnant, or similar, and it really got to me. I was already bulimic at that stage, and it kind of woke me up to the fact that it wasn't working for me. As much as I realised that, it can still be really hard to not purge everything I eat.

I joined MFP also, so as to prove to myself that I wasn't eating too much, and that it was okay to eat what I was eating, and just excercise the calories off if I didn't like how many I'd eaten.

I have been struggling with my weight for the last 5 years and i thought maybe if i started anew that it would help me. I did other websites before and had some success but it all became to stressful at times and of course i quit after a while.

I was bulimic for 2 years. I haven't purged in 2 months (:

I was for around 4 and a half years. It sounds a bit naff to say "I realised it wasn't working for me", but that's the best way I can describe it, haha. I'm so proud of you for not purging!
