done something brave

i have finally accepted i can't do this on my own and am seeing a therapist on thurs and am very scared. I have been doing terrible recently and lost more weight than even i wanted to. people have stated saying i look too thin rather than i look great. i think this is the kick up the backside i needed. i now instead of wanting to get better need to get better.i don't want people to find out and the only way to do that is to stop. I'm worried what he's going to say and worried about letting someone else in. My husband is so happy cos now it won't be just him knowing this, i worry tho cos i think he thinks i'll be magically fixed. Every time i think of telling someone face to face i panic. I'm not going to chicken out tho. I can't do this anymore i need control back.

You're right, it is very brave, well done you!!! It's probably the hardest thing to admit to another person how you feel, but be strong and know you can beat this

you are SO brave and SO strong.
The real bravery is doing something that terrifies you, and going through with it!
Keep up your strength!

It's going to be a bit challenging to finally admit it but once you do and have the therapists support as well as this site you will be able to give this a better shot because you won't have to ever be alone. Good luck :)

I'm so happy for you. You sound like you really want to get rid of ED and that's what it takes. Don't be afraid to see the therapist. Once you get talking you will feel more comfortable and if you shouldn't click with him see another one. Plus bring your husband to one of the early sessions so the therapist can explain to him that it's not going to be a quick fix.

I can totally relate to your husband thinking you will be magically fixed. When things came out into the open and I started getting help my husband thought I would never b/p ever again. Sadly, he got very upset and a couple of my relapses that he discovered. I am working hard at it right now.
I think you seeing a therapist is the right thing to do. Keep positive and try to communicate with your husband about your feelings. I wish you the best!

    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...
