    hello.
    I've come to my fitness pal to help me gain weight, and i find it easier recording what i eat online than in a note book.
    After battling an eating disorder for 5 years, i've decided to make a big step and actually gain weight now instead of losing, i'm fed up of looking like a child at the age of 21. i want to be a healthy bmi of 18.7.
    so here i am tracking my progress through here.

      Hi Bexx - Welcome to MFP...and I have to say, I'm proud of you for making the decision you have. When I finished high school, I developed eating disorders as well. It started with anorexia, then blossomed into bulimia, and when my health began to deteriorate, my senses kicked into gear and I made a change, albeit a difficult one, but I'm here today because I didn't let the disorders control and beat me. Kudos to you, you will be glad you've made a healthier decision, wtg. All the best on your journey!

      yeah, i was the other way round, i started with bulimia and then became anorexic, ive been in and out of trying to recover since 2009 when i realised i needed to recover. anorexia just keeps sucking me back in, but ive got over the urge of wanting bulimia, and made a full recovery from bulimia in 2009. (if any of this makes any sense) i went from a uk size 8 to a usa size 00. i'm now a uk size 6 again and hope to be back into my uk size 8 soon. and re-gain a good relationship with food again.

      thanks everyone. :)
