    :smile: Hey kac8 - I think you've come to the right place. MFP has a number of tools you can use, and you can even track your own customized goals if you want. Plus, the vast majority of people posting here are only interested in one thing: making improvements to their health! So, they'll offer ideas, pose questions, try suggestions, and most important, provide support to others!

    So; good luck to you and congratulations on taking things on head first. Remember, we cannot change what we refuse to acknowledge!

    :happy: :laugh: :glasses:

    do you think im "in the right place"... i know that it maybe isnt for EATING DISORDERS, but i NEED support and help. i wanna change the UNHEALTHY things, yet KEEP my weight low....
    ... im NOT underweight tho, just normal. is this the right place to be or, should i find another site.
    a bit of history.... i was around 170 when things went BAD for me. ALOT happened that caused some pretty bad changes in my life. i lost weight RAPIDLY, and i developed some unhealthy ways of keeping my weight down. my GOAL here, is to keep my weight low, but learn i can do it WITHOUT the "unhealthy" things i do to myself.
    is this a place for THAT kinda support???:blushing: im currently about 108, wanna get to maybe 95-100... in a HEALTHY WAY. im only 5'1 sooooo im short

    hello, I have an eating disorder as well.. I have been in and out for 5 + years, and every day is a challenge. I'm actually trying to be healthy as well, tracking is a decent idea...but at the same time be very careful, because seeing LISTS of food might trigger bad thoughts.

    I'm here if you ever want to talk..
    I'm also looking for a friend :)

    thanks SO much for your REPLY! im so glad to meet someone who "gets it" i DO know what you mean by triggering BAD things. my GOAL is to track, ans SEE exactlt what i consume. i was diagnosed anorexic with purging. ive ALWAYS been weird with food, but things got BAD 5yrs ago, and REALLY hit the fan a year and a half ago.

    im ALWAYS here for you. id LOVE to be your friend and support you :heart: kelly
