I think what your saying is that you deal with stress by not eating....I'm the opposite, but it still is a coping mechanism so I do understand how you feel. Do you have a therapist, or have you talked to anyone about this?

Hey i can totally relate you are definately not alone. When things used to go bad or i felt out of control my food intake was the first thing to stop. Food is one aspect of life im totally in control of. Big hugs

I too have been battling this disorder for well over 25 years. I don't really do anything to stop eating. I just don't eat. I realize that when my life is chaotic or when I feel powerless or hopeless I can control nothing else, but what I allow myself to put in my body. It has taken me a long time to seek treatment but it is helping. I am not 100% but at least when I starve or purge I have some idea why, now. I wish you peace. Stay in touch.

My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

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...
