    Hey there. Chances are you're noticing "problems" with yourself that other people don't see as problems. Keep communicating with your community of supportive friends, including the people here. Learn to love yourself. As corny as this sounds, say one nice thing each day - either about yourself or something that you're grateful for. Believe it or not, it really does help.

    It sounds like you are pointed in the right direction. Body Image is a really tough thing even if you do not have a disorder, so I can imagine you must have your work cut our for you. There is a lot of really supportive people on this site!
    I hope you can find the strength to see through this tough spot, but sometimes a doctor is needed. Try to stay positive, and find people you trust to reach out to as often as possible.

    +1. There are a number of groups on MFP that you might find helpful and supportive as you deal with your eating disorder. Hopefully you are also under the care of a professional to help you recover.
