I consider myself to be a recovered from my eating disorder but I guess I am not sure. I am on the other end of the spectrum now - which is overweight, based on my height and I am extremely unhappy. I know that I can not go back to my lifestyle before because I wasted too much of my life (over 10 years) worrying about eating, fasting, calories, and exercising and have been hospitalized 3 times because of it(which was also very expensive since most insurance companies don't cover residential treatment) .
My problem is now that I want to be a healthy weight but I can't seem to find a happy medium. It's all or nothing. If I begin exercising normally or just eating healthier foods, eventually I find myself heading down the wrong path. I've just about given up and decided that I can't watch what I eat or exercise because of this but at the same time, I'd like to be fit, at a healthy weight and feel better about myself. Is there anyone out there that has recovered that can give me some advice on how I can find that middle ground? Please help.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
as far as diet goes, well I am not doing so well on that. but the same theroies should apply. try to eat healthy but don't kill yourself doing it. tomorrow is always another day. Hugs
Are you sure you are overweight? Maybe you are just in your body's comfort weight which can be less or more than your ideal body weight. I would visit a nutritionist and talk to her to get you on a balanced diet and I like the Yoga idea. It helped me too with my overall well being.
