in Health and Weight Loss
I am neither overweight nor underweight. I am 5' 4" and a healthy 135 lbs. I don't think I'm even really trying to lose weight, but tracking every calorie puts a lot of control in my hands and makes me feel calmer about what goes into my body. As a result, I find it easier to deal with the urge to rid myself of excess calories because I can remain under a very specific calorie count per day while (fortunately or unfortunately) still being able to get in sugary or unhealthy foods. I do believe that I will lose weight this way without being in any real danger. I think I can handle this. I guess I'm looking for friends that also are not on extreme diets or maybe have had an eating disorder in the past that can empathize with the feelings of control, anxiety, guilt, shame, and the rest.

    yep i hear you. I have fought a self-starve ED for years and it was totally about control. This gives me control in a healthy way and I too am seeing my ED fade into my past :)
