This is such an amazing story to see. My life is following a similar pattern (from overweight to ED to binge eating) and I think it's something that happens to a lot of people who suffer from EDs, so seeing a story where someone beats the odds is awesome!! Thanks so much for sharing this <3

The feelings that you're describing indicate to me that you would do well from seeking professional treatment. I've struggled with the type of self-hate that you've described, and the only thing that really helped was counseling. If you see a therapist, they can help you find healthier ways to relate to your body. I will…

Just wanted to post again and say thanks for all the info! (The link from Dragonwolf was an extra awesome addition!) I'm doing a lot of research into the low carb/high fat/adequate protein change you guys mentioned. I don't know if I'm insulin resistant or not yet. I have some blood work scheduled later in the week that…

Hey! I recently posted a cry for help in this forum because I understood exactly 0 things about my PCOS diagnosis, and some really awesome people responded to me with a lot of good information. You might want to check out their responses to see if they help you at all. (Currently, that thread is directly beneath yours and…

It's possible that she doesn't like to talk about her weight because you are attacking her about it. Young girls live in a world that conditions them to feel uncomfortable with their bodies. If she's starting high school in a year and a half, then she's at a very difficult time in life. If she feels like you're shaming her…

Families are complicated. Regardless of whether you have an ed or not, they're treating you in abusive ways that don't in any way encourage healthy habits or mind set. In my experience, when people say "I think I have an ed", they have more going on than eating in secret. This one thing alone doesn't an eating disorder…

Thanks so much for all the information!!

Definitely interested in helping!

I used to have trouble getting up and working out in the morning too, but I've come up with a routine that has been working for me. I get up in the morning, and the rule is that I'm not allowed to shower or eat breakfast until after I've worked out. I don't go to work until afternoons/evenings, so the temptation to sleep…

Feel free to add me! I agree with the other users- it's possible you're not eating enough. "Strict 1200" is a phrase I give the side-eye to more often than not.

If you think you're getting into a space where you're TOO obsessed, it's possible that you are. Things like calorie counting can become dangerous if you let them get out of hand (ED sufferer speaking from experience) and they can get in the way of you enjoying your life/food. My advice is to listen to your instincts on…

Fellow ED sufferer here. They're right, you should be seeking help from a professional. Weight loss during/after recovery from anorexia can be dangerous and make it hard for you to get out of the tricky head space that anorexia leaves you with. If it's possible, seek professional help from both medical doctors and…

That's so exciting!!! Congratulations, I'm super happy for you. :D here's to hoping more accomplishments like that are in your future -raises glass-

Definitely a boob girl. There seem to be a lot of us here! I'm also a lips/cheeks/jawline person.

I make a stew/soup thing (it might be closer to chili) with ground turkey and chickpeas that's fairly high in protein. You could try something along the lines of that?

It's not about a comparison between fat bodies, colored bodies, and disabled bodies. The types of discrimination these separate categories of people face (not that they don't intersect) can't be compared. But most fat positive bloggers root themselves in the movement of overall body positivity with a focus mainly on bodies…

Now, that's just tone policing. Conveniently enough, it's also not true. I actually run a body positive blog (I can link it here, if anyone's interested) and I promise that it's never been used to perpetuate "thin hate" or whatever it is that people are supposedly worried about. I can't say that no-one has ever just out…

It's always the fathers, isn't it? :P Best wishes to you, too!

I don't believe in judging anyone based on body type OR health status. It's ridiculous. Someone else's health is none of my business if I'm not their doctor. (Spoiler alert: never going to be. I'm a communications major). Being a doctor in general doesn't make it right either, not unless they've invited your scrutiny and…

I work in a coffee shop and spend a lot of time customizing people's drinks so that they can get the caffeine (and flavor) they want for the caloric budget they have. If you want the caffeine of coffee (lighter roasts have more caffeine than darker roasts, by the way, contrary to popular belief) but can't drink it black,…

I always try to be my own best cheer leader, if that makes sense. It's hard to make progress with anything if all you do is beat yourself up over mistakes. A lot of the time, our "failures" aren't even as big a deal as we've made them to be in our heads. Sometimes you're going to eat junk food. That's okay! Just make sure…

Mature and intelligent

Honestly, a good red lipstick never fails to make me confident or improve my 'bad' days. If I throw on some red and a good pair of jeans, I feel like I could take on the world. But, I tend to be pretty easy to please.

I am so in!! 100 days will pass like nothing~ Add me if you want!
