I need more friends that are going through the same thing I am going through. I have been anorexic and bulimic for over a year now. All the people I'm friends with on MFP are either overweight trying to lose weight, or eating disordered and underweight already and still trying to lose weight. I need support to help me recover, and seeing all these people drop pounds and lowering their calories isn't helping. I am still very much underweight and I just need friends who can help me recover - and I'll do all I can to support in return :)

    Hey, I'm Bee and I am also trying to recovery from anorexia nervosa/bulimia nervosa. My doctor recommended this site as a means for me to try to keep track of what i eat and make sure im getting the nutrients i need. It's still very difficult to reach my calorie goal, and as you said, with everyone trying to lose weight it's even more difficult. I'll try to add you, I see that this post was from over a month ago... hope you're still around. some support would be nice.

    xoxo Bee

    Heh... & I'm Be.

    Originally BED until Bulimia seemed like a brilliant idea when I was 13-14. Nearly 14 years later and I'm still trying to fix both. While I'm overweight, I've seen a lot and am willing to help you anyway I can.

    I was just in the hospital a few months ago because I ate too little and my body gave in. While I'm not trying to gain any weight now - Not trying to lose any either. Just tryin to be fit and happy.

    I still find myself looking at nutrition labels, looking to buy the lowest calorie items.. And not eating any more if I'm 200 calories under my goal weight.. Still obviously getting through this, and would like to hear from others as well.
