Rochemist.... I remember you!!
Thanks for all those links. Eventually I will work my way through them.
I really and truly (especially in the past) found this site to be more helpful to me than Something Fishy. To me it is almost contradictory that you need to be open about having the ED, but on the website we are not open to discuss all about the ED.

I am not one for propagating the bad behaviours, but I am completely for transparency, complete and brutal honesty, accountability and responsibility. To me being completely open about the matters that are affecting me are what will ultimately help me to heal, NOT hiding certain things.

By the way, CONGRATULATIONS on being b/p free for so long!! That is SO awesome and truly inspirational!
Hugs,
Dietrie

silly,

I agree that this site is more helpful than Something Fishy. While I now occasionally go on their site for some support and resources, I like this site and its support a lot more. I don't think that it is right than one cannot openly discuss weight loss there, or at least it had be to discussed in very sensitive terms on that site. That doesn't make sense to me because weight loss is part of recovering from overeating, or at least it is in my opinion. I understand how weight loss can be triggering to some individuals with other eating disorders though.

Well, that's my two cents.

I would also highly recommend Rational Recovery.

I guess it is considered somewhat controversial, but I am a living convert and it helped me immensely. It was originally intended for alcohol and drug abuse, but has information for binge eaters, as well.

I started with this technique after reading "Brain Over Binge" which references "Rational Recovery" a lot - so I read that, as well. I've spent time on the Rational Recovery website and re-reading both books named above, and it has really changed my life.
