    You're doing great, and your success story might be exactly what some MFP newbie needs to see right now. Thanks for being an encouraging MFP friend and always having a positive comment on your friends' journals and activities! :-)

    The first pictures make me want to feed you - a lot. Be proud of yourself for beginning to break free of your ED - you look strong and so much healthier :)

    This makes me cry happy tears. I lost my dearest aunt to lifelong Anorexia and Bulimia and I have a very dear friend struggling with it right now. It makes me so happy to see someone overcome it! You look AMAZING!

    Good for you, I'm proud of you. I struggled with anorexia starting from 13-20. In college I got comfortable in a relationship and gained 100 pounds. I'm still 100 pounds overweight. At this point in my life I am trying to lose the weight without falling back into old habits. It is extremely hard so I know where you're coming from.

    I'm in tears reading this... you have done such a phenomenal job and YES this is a success story!

    I too see myself as fat at 131. I am extremely "fatty", but now hoping if I tone it up I won't feel so "fat"

    At the age of 18, and a height of 5'5, I was 96 pounds. Then came college and I ballooned to 167.

    I'm so proud of you for realizing your issues, and now working on them!
