I was diagnosed with anorexia purging type awhile ago and have had my eating disorder for over eight years now. I've been in and out of recovery a few times, but I really want this to be my last. Is there anyone who has recovered or who is looking to recover that would want to support each other? I really want to learn to eat healthy and be fit rather than sickly thin so even if you don't have an eating disorder but would be willing to help motivate and help with food, I would be so grateful. You can add me on here or kik me at strivingtobethinner if you're interested. I just would really love any and all support I can get.

    Are you still aiming to lose weight? I notice your tracker is set with weight to lose.
    I recovered from anorexia a long time ago. I was 72Ibs at 5'11 back when I was 18.
    The mindset never totally left me and I still struggle with body image issues and occasional phases of binge eating, but I eat a healthy amount, I am very fit and active, know a lot about nutrition and am a normal weight, albeit at low bodyfat % due to my muscle mass.
    I am happy to add recovering people IF they are genuinely recovering and are eating a healthy amount.

    Hi. I had a mixed episode eating disorder (bulimia mainly with low weight) from aged 13 to 23. Since I have recovered from that I have become physically disabled and as I became less active I went from healthy weight 140lbs to 220lbs. Which is what i now weigh. For years i was so scared of having an eating disorder again that I had lots of rules 1. not allowed to weigh myself 2. if unsure how much to eat, eat the same as the person I am eating with, 3. absolutely no being sick regardless of circumstances. etc..Now at 35 and with still slowly increasing weigh it is clear to me that I do need to diet. I am really scared of getting ill again though. Last time I tried 5 years ago I lost 2 stone very quickly and it impacted on my physical health and I began to obsess about food and weight loss so I made myself stop dieting. I would like some support to make sure I am really recovered because I don't think it ever really goes away. I weighed a worrying 7'3'' at one point and that was probably just as unhealthy then as I am now.
