New to 3FC, & finally ready for support

  • I am just starting out on 3FC. I joined 2 years ago(which I don't even remember) but never really got involved. I'm 19 & have been "there & back again" with eating disorders & distorted body image. My mom was bulimic for 40+ years & my dad & 3 brothers are always dieting/talking about food/body. I'm always labeled as the only one with issues(probably because I'm the only one able to admit it) & I want to change. I may not have much(or any...in some eyes) weight to lose, but I definitely think I need support. I want people to talk about this with, so that I can get a healthier body-image, a better relationship with food, & be ready to take on the position of good role model for the rest of my family. Wish me luck!
  • Hi and welcome to 3FC.

    Good luck with your goals.

    Hugs

  • It doesn't matter how much you have to lose...it's all about you and your body image. You will find lots of support here...the members have been great!!!
  • Thanks! I always kind of felt silly joining a weight loss support group, considering I'm already at a healthy weight. But knowing I can get support here...well, it feels great.
  • Welcome. I suggest you look for a support group or challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated. Find one you like that fits your needs, or inspires you, and just post to join.
  • Good luck.
