Hi everybody!
Im choosing not to disclose my name, just to make me more comfortable. Ive been through one of these forums before, but it was a psychotic eating disorder one, and that was years ago. So now Im making a come back to lose weight while maintaining my health, which I believe also makes you feel good. So Im very glad to be here, and I believe its a step towards changing my unhealthy eating habits and feeling good.
Though my binging is not as extreme as it was before, when I would starve myself, I would still like to reform my diet permanently, sticking to healthy foods and exercising regularly. Blah blah blah! You all know the drill. I have faith that this will help, theres nothing more helpful than the support of others who are going through the same thing.
I work at a chemical dependency center, and am finishing my last year for a bachelors of arts degree. Then Im hoping to head off into pharmacy school. So the stress factors of my life are abundant but I wont let that stop me. Im also transitioning into adulthood (Im 21 years old) and am learning to take care of myself. My mom is in Kuwait and I live with my stepdad and sister, so I have to assume personal responsibilty of my health. But Ive been through an extreme eating disorder phase and have knowledge of what is right and wrong for me. I have lots of faith that I can do this, and Im ready to receive and give support!
Taking action

I know I did.
