Hey yall! I need friends who are willing to help me with eating disorder recovery. I am at normal weight but am in the normalizing, so to speak, phase. I am looking for people looking to make sure I am being healthy. Health is health, at one extreme or another, and I just want to be healthy. I definitely was malnourished and not doing well. If you are underweight, overweight, looking for someone to maintain health with, wanting to gain a few pounds or lose a few pounds...I'm here to help! In turn, I ask that you just check in on me and make sure I am keeping on track.

    You've got the right attitude! We are all here because we have eating disorders - too much, too little, whatever.

    You can achieve that healthy lifestyle you are after! One day, one decision at a time!

    Wow, you have a great attitude! So happy you are in recovery. A caution to you, however: this site makes you think about food & exercise, sometimes a LOT. This is a VERY positive, encouraging & inspiring place; just be sure it doesn't dominate your thoughts -- does that make sense? Good for you for choosing a healthy life!:smile:

    I am here for you! I went from eating disorder (underweight) to eating disorder (overweight) . We can do this together!
  • I know exactly what you mean. I've talked to my dietician about this and since I have gone through treatment and am in the focus of normalizing and keeping in line, i think I can do it. I look at exercise, diet and nutrition in a completely different way now. It isn't about the weight you see on the scale, it's about what nourishment you are giving your body. Thank you so much for your support! I was a big worried about this, because relapses are so common, but I am still seeing someone to help me so I think it's more of a regulatory thing. Plus, the community, and having people like you, is so awesome. especially since I am moving every few months!

    I'd be glad to offer you that support. I am on hoping to lose, but I know at some point I will be interested in maintenance. I'm not sure how to add friends or anything but feel free to add me. I need some new friends =)
