In need of a little help...

Hello :)

So I was essentially looking for a buddy to help and keep me accountable..

I used to be very underweight and was diagnosed with anorexia about three years ago. I have now gone the other way, gaining three stone due to emotional eating and I am consequently very very unhappy. My eating can go from being extremely healthy and strict to then, a minute later, losing control and leaving me in a very sad place.

I am also a competitive long distance runner but with the additional weight, I am not the person/athlete I used to be.

I would love to have a buddy who knows what I am going through and we can help each other get to the other side!

xx

    Hi ! would love to offer some support. I have a long history of disordered eating, from restricting to b/p, or just purging. I am now back on my path to fitness, however I notice some of my old thinking/habits returning. I know rationally it's not healthy so I know support is extremely helpful. Friend request sent... xx

    I used to struggle with disorders eating behaviour but have had a much healthier attitude towards food since becoming a competitive long distance runner, now I see it as fuel not a reward (or punishment!) Xxx
