Autistic and defeating my Binge Eating Disorder

I've had BED since I was a child and I'm turning 21 in just under 2 weeks.

I've struggled with weight for as long as I remember and I have hit my heaviest at 13 stone.

This year I move out, I leave a job where bullies made my life hell, I'm continuing to fight mental health and this is the year I WILL take my life back.

I have autism and it effects my eating habits so badly, if there's anyone who can relate to any of this, I'd love to hear about your experience. I'm hopeful this app gives me the motivation and support I need.

    I know this is a few months old, but I wanted to say I'm autistic with BED also!

    I'm autistic as well, and I struggle with dysmorphic body image. I wrestled with orthorexia after college (and still have to be careful not to fall back into bad habits). There's a good core of nice, knowledgeable people on here to tap into.
