I'm getting married June 2018. I'm anxious as all hell, because while my future husband looks amazing, I...don't think I'll ever be able to look at the photo album if I go through with it looking like I do now. I hate the way I look. And it's terrifying, because the stakes for failure are so high - either I succeed at…

Greetings, fellow cosplayer! There's good news for you: you don't have to give up fast food in order to get in shape. The only thing you have to give up is the idea that going out with friends for lunch is a loss. There's nothing wrong with going ahead and having that burger, and just having a lighter dinner. You can do…

Well, I'm back with another serial starting story! Last time I was around here, I was at my future in-laws' house and...well, they act more like the grandparents I never knew, than what you'd expect from in-laws, and I have a hell of a time going anywhere from their house since my car stays on the opposite coast and the…

I once had One Of Those Doctors who insisted that everything wrong with me was because of my weight. I started restricting myself to under 1,000 calories per day (measured for accuracy) and found myself still gaining weight. Talked to him - he put me on appetite suppressants instead of trying to get to the bottom of it.…

Unless the person you're talking to has specifically requested otherwise, I recommend the five-minute rule when it comes to a negative comment on someone's appearance - if they can't fix it in five minutes or less, shut up. In other words, toilet paper on the shoe? Something in someone's teeth? Shirt on inside-out? Fine,…

Speaking as a trans guy with an eating disorder, the one thing I've learned about this is that you need to do whatever makes you feel most comfortable living in your own body. You need to. And yes, sometimes that means you'll end up conforming to a certain ideal just because it's treated with less disdain and it makes your…

Hello there! I'm C, and I am definitely guilty of being a serial starter. Part of it is part of an eating disorder, even, so all the more reason for me to break out of it - a slowdown or an illness leads to binge eating, which leads to me hating myself, which leads to me panicking and becoming afraid to eat, or purging, or…

This sounds good to me; I'll throw in my profile - I'm a college student, I've struggled with disordered eating all my life, and I'm looking to use my upcoming wedding (in a little over 10 months!) as a good goal to finally get myself on track. I binge-ate my way to a peak of 325 pounds about 4 years ago, and so far have…

I'm in the same boat. I've never had a healthy relationship with food and it's taken a sharp turn for the worse in recent months - I'm trying to learn to live healthily for real for the first time. I know what I need to do in theory...its just hard to apply it in practice. Not giving up though!
