My story

I've been in an emotionally avusive relationship that made me feel insecure about everything, most importantly my body. I used to be heavier, and my ex would make fun of me, and compare me to skinnier girls. I used to have confidence in myself but I let someone take it from me, which is my fault. I've developed a serious eating disorder than I don't want people in my life to know about as I'm ashamed. I check my pants everyday to see if it gets together, I analyze my stomach everyday, I weigh myself. Sometimes I binge eat when no one is around. I'm trying to convince myself that I'm just thinking I have an eating disorder it's all in my head, but I don't know. With school stress and holidays coming up, it's pretty difficult, and my relationship with food is getting worse

    I'm sorry that you are going through this. No one deserves to be treated that way. It sounds like you are no longer with that person, and if that is the case, good for you. Is counseling an option? If it is, it could be a huge help with getting your confidence back and getting a handle on your eating disorder. If you would like an ear to listen, feel free to add me. I may not be able to relate to your story exactly, but I am a great listener.

    You're in the right place to learn about nutrition and how to lose/maintain/gain weight. You may want to talk to a professional about your relationships with yourself and food, though. Congratulations on getting out of an abusive relationship, that is a huge step.
