Eating Disorders Support Group
Eating disorders are marked by an obsessive need to control the intake and/or purging of food. This community is dedicated to those struggling on the road to recovery. Join to discuss your experience with others and find support. Get advice, ask questions, and meet others who are going through similar struggles.
I've been reading a lot of other comments, and see how much support there is out there for those of us that feel guilty, isolated, in despair with bingeing and purging.
I think that this space is great to vent one's feelings and explain when things go wrong, especially when you feel like you can't turn to people you know well, you can write to that big anonymous electronic world out there.
But I want to leave my first message to say that now, today, I feel ready to be more responsible and change my attitude to eating and what I do and get out of life... the problem is that my bullimia is secretive, and I can't share my sense of satisfaction with my closest friends and family. I can't say "HOORAY I've stopped" when they don't know I even started, 10 years ago. So I'm going to post my feelings here and, as they say, the rest is history.
