Hi everyone.

I am new here, i just found this place today. I have a problem with COE, although when i was younger i went through a period of anorexia.

ED's are ruining my life, my health both physically and mentally and i dont know what to do or who i am anymore.

I just wondered if there was anyone out there that can relate

I need to sort myself out now, but i just dont know where to turn.

I look forward to getting to know you all

I think we all struggle at times with who we are, who we used to be before ED and if we ever will be that healthy person again. So you are in good hands. We will give you all our support but you know you also have to see a doctor and a therapist.

One of my best friends is a COE. She and I go to Overeaters Anonymous meetings together even though I'm an anorexic. We get so much support, as although we are so different, we are alike in the respect that food and weight plays a central role in our lives. The purpose is to take the focus off of the food and reconnect with who we are as important, loveable, and worthwhile human beings. I look forward to getting to know you too. XOXO

Welcome. You have found an excellent place for support and a caring shoulder. It doesn't matter which form Ed takes he is the same ugly, abusive, batterer no matter what his current M.O. is. I hope you stay for a while and if you would like to be friends just add me to your friend list.

    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...
