Hi everyone! I am so glad to have found this place and am in definite need of support! I am not new to the dieting scene. I have actually been dealing with weight my entire life. As a teen, I was diagnosed with anorexia and struggled with that for years. I then became bulimic and dealt with that throughout college. I began to yoyo again and then was finally able to stop purging (a huge step). Unfortunately I didn't stop the bingeing and ballooned up to 380 lbs. I am 27 yrs old and can't stand being so big! I am very tall 6'2" and have always stuck out because of that. I am tired of sticking out because I am fat as well.
I started dieting on June 30th and am down 29 lbs so far. So my current weight is 351. I am really motivated but am finding the task at hand rather daunting. I am trying to stay on a strict diet while not crossing over into some of the unhealthy eating issues from my past. So far, I have been able to do this... I just need help to stay on this healthy course.
Thanks so much for allowing me to join y'all here! And thanks in advance for the support!!

Thanks so much! I am praying that this is the last I will see of my eating disorder. It has taken over my life for too long (in all forms... the anorexia, bulimia and binge eating) I am SoO over it!!

Wishing you the best of luck, I always thought I was tall...Keep us posted on how you are doing!!
haha! Yeah, I am REALLY tall for a woman. It has been one of the biggest hang ups I have had about my body for as long as I can remember(all of my short friends are jealous of my hight and I just want to be shorter... the grass is always greener on the other side I guess )
