Hello Cathryn,
Welcome! I check into this board every now and then to see what's going on. I'm sure everyone here can relate to your struggles. It's a good idea to try different types of treatment and see what works for you. Therapy did help me, I can tell you that. It still is helping actually. I can say the biggest thing I'm learning is patience w/ myself and my food issues. Nothing happens overnight (even gaining weight) so I literally have to take it a day at time. I know its sounds like recycled info but when I'm actually living it, I understand the importance of it.
Start small w/ exercise and things and you'll be surprised how fast it spreads. It doesn't matter how small, everything counts! 2 situps is still 2 more than ya did yesterday. Don't overwhelm yourself with weight and numbers at first either. Everything in due time.
The first step really is bringing out into the light. So you're on your way and you can do it!
I'm here anytime you want to talk. Good luck to you!
ps- Hi to (Not)JustaPrettyFace too!
