anna - i know you said you've gone to counseling before, but maybe you would benefit if you tried again except with a different counselor. maybe one who specializes in OCD and eating disorders? they might be able to offer you other outlets to direct your focus on.

ZUMBA! Brazilian Butt Lift DVDs. Insanity.

congrats on the 7lb loss! that, along with joining this site, are great first steps :) my suggestion is to sit down and figure out what your short-term and long-term weight and fitness goals are and write them out. keep them where you can see them so you don't lose track of what you're trying to accomplish. make sure you…
