I am having food issues and am scared. I have not be formally diagnosed with an eating disorder, but it has been suspected. I have some of the same thoughts of other with ED.

Looking for advice, suggestions...If interested- please make a friend request

" hey it's good that you are looking for support :)
i'm new to this group also.
all the advice i can give you is to see food as a necessity and that you need it to live (like a car needs petrol to go)
i know it's harder than it sounds.... but just work through it one issue at a time
oh and my name's chelsy "

" It's great that you are looking for support. I understand what you're going through. Quick suggestion: figure out what issue it is you are having with food and address it. Like the first response said, food is the petrol to your car/body. It's also very tasty! Make sure you try new foods so you keep your taste buds happy, and then food won't seem so bad =] "
