Been on this journey, it feels like my whole life, but seriously getting the help I need since mid last year to now.
I was diagnosed with an eating disorder in Jan. of 2018. According to the DSM4 and my licensed therapist, I was diagnosed with OSFED (otherwise specified feeding or eating disorder). I had been heavy my whole life and always felt like I was living in a fat suit, not showing on the outside the person I knew I was on the inside. After my diagnosis everything finally clicked.
I wasn't lazy, I wasn't weak, my failures weren't because I "didn't want it enough". So with my doctor and my therapist watching closely I have lost quite a bit of weight, improved my life and life style!!! I am no longer pre-diabetic, my cholesterol has fallen to a safe level......I am finally living the life I always wanted to. I just wanted to share some brief stats and pictures too!
Height: 5ft. 4 inches
Starting weight: 216
Current weight: 157
Current loss in #: 59-60
Current Goal: 145 (as set by myself, my doctor, and my therapist)
I am about two months away from my target goal weight if I keep losing consistenly. We, meaning my care team, have also discussed the possibility that 145 may not be my ultimate goal either. However, we are working together to make sure I do things the right/safe/healthy way. Keep at it my friends!
I know at times the grind and sweat and the hurt and the struggle all seem insurmountable but I believe in you! You can do anything you put your mind to!

Hi iotterbeinbed! Thanks for your message and your friend request. I am still not in recovery, still working on getting better every single day...just in case anyone got the impression that I have "beaten" my eating disorder. It isn't something you "beat" and then it is over, just like being a recovering alcoholic or drug abuser, you are never "cured" you just keep going one day at a time. There are TONS of days when my eating disorder wins, rears its ugly head, and kicks me down-makes me feel like I used to feel. and there are other problems that have come up as well, I am glad my story is inspiring to people and I am totally here to talk if anyone would like, just thought I should put that out there!2
