Lots of support needed!

  • Hi everyone!

    I just wanted to come and introduce myself and pretty much get to know people in the same position as i am and receive as well as provide support.

    I am a 22 year old student/cheerleader/cheer coach and am on a mission to lose 25lbs. I have already lost 2 and just need help to stay focused.

    From the ages of 13 - 19, i battled anorexia. At my lowest, i was about 90lbs. Its been 3 years since then and i wouldnt say im cured coz if you have ever battled something like that, you know you never fully recover. But now im older, and wiser, i want to do things right!

    I had a health check when i started college and i was told i was overweight according to my bmi at the time. That was nearly two years ago! And im finally doing something about it.

    I quit smoking a couple months ago and now im ready to take this on. So any words of encouragement would be awesome.

    Sorry for the rant lol

  • I was an anorexic in HS and College and I never got as low as you did...my lowest was 129lbs. (on me that was pretty bad though..I have a large frame and it looked really bad) I am still battling "food is bad" thoughts. I put on a lot of weight in my 20's and early 30's and now I want it GONE! but I need to do it healthy. You can do it too! Good luck! I am new here too.
