hi

Heya, I'm Shell, I'm 34 years old and a recovering anorexic/bullimic and am looking to gain 1 and a half stones possibly 2. I'm currently stuck at home recovering from a collapsed lung so I thought id use this time to really try and make a definitive effort to change. I am waiting for out patient treatment at a specialist clinic but I guess I'm hoping to find support and advice from others who have direct or indirect experience of the struggle between trying to gain weight whilst constantly worrying that I'm eating too much. I've read meal plans for anorexics and it seems like such a lot of food so please don't think if I don't manage 3 huge meals plus snacks straight away that I'm not trying, its a lot to get my head round but I really do want to beat this as my health is suffering at my current weight and it's effecting the entire way I live my life. I'm going to be off work at least a week as the lung thing has made me very weak so I'm seeing this as a sign that I've been forced into resting and having the time to put into recovery, usually with work and being a carer for my nan I use that as an excuse to carry on the way I am. Well in a nutshell that's me and why I'm here, I apologise for the lack of a photo, I'm not the best at technology but I will try and figure out how to upload one soon. I'm looking forward to getting to know people here and on that note I'm gonna go and have a look round the site.
