I want to get some feedback from you guys.
How would you feel if our active members were to buddy up for support and accountability?

I've been through every therapy under the sun, and having a dedicated buddy was a very powerful recovery tool!
I miss having someone to help me overcome/listen about my ED thoughts.


What are your thoughts?

    Sounds like a great idea! I've never been in any type of therapy for my ED and I have no one in my real-life who knows about it. :)

    Perfect! I'm going to start a sign-up sheet for more active members! That way we can start a facebook group too! I think this would be a perfect way to keep in touch, as it's hard to be active here :) Can't wait to get to know you ladies better!

    I think this will be very helpful. There are many people on MFP who are using the calorie counter as a tool to continue the anorexia/ED cycle. Maybe if they do come across this group and see other people's recovery, they might want to reach out for some help.

    Yep, calorie counting doesn't mean much other than tracking calories. That could be 300 per day or 10,000 per day, Right?
