Hey everyone, I'm new to this site and am already finding it useful. I've struggles with my weight for a while now and am currently recovering from being diagnosed with anorexia.
I'm extremely level-headed and so it was a surprise to my friends and family that i developed this illness out of everyone. Being so level-headed meant that once i recognised what was wrong with me i was determined to get better and put on a lot of weight in a really short space of time and have now gone from one end of the scale to slightly over my desirable weight.

For once I would like to lose weight for myself: when i lost it the first time it was for my appearance and for the judgement of people and then when i gained weight it was for my family. I want to do something and achieve something i'm proud of and i did myself, and that's when i'll know i've finally overcome this disorder.

Let me know if anyone else is experiencing anything similar! x

    ((hugs)) Thank you for sharing your story. It is hard on both sides of the spectrum, and sometimes we don't always reconize that. You will find plenty of people who can relate on this website. Who are also willing to support you. ^.^

    I recently tried to lose weight for the wrong reasons. I was doing it mainly because someone else thought I should. I mean she was right, I definitely need to and was never mad at her for expressing it. But the only way you can succeed, is when you are doing it for the right reasons. Right now im doing a great job, and its because im doing it for me and only me.

    It feels tough, like you need to do it for something or someone, but you just need to do it for you..
