Hi,

I'm trying really to eat healthy. I struggled with an eating disorder but now I'm over it. However, I can not seem to eat right. Either I don't eat at all or all I eat is junk food. I don't know exactly what I'm looking for in this community, I just want to get all the nurishment I need and loose a little weight without slipping back into the unhealthy eating mode.

Welcome!!
Since you are recovered from an ED and this could be shaky territory for you, I would recommend going to your doctor and getting set up with a nutritionist. Not sure what country you live in, but you can always access the Canada Food Guide (or equivalent depending where you live) on line and that can tell you how many servings of fruits/vegs, grains, etc. you should be eating every day.
Hope you continue to stay well!

Welcome to the community.

This is a great place to come for support. JLB made a good suggestion telling you to talk to your doctor about suggesting a nutritionist.

Maybe a good first step is to buy some fruits and veggies that you can eat raw, and have them around the house. That way they are there when you feel peckish, you can just grab one. Get things that don't take a lot of prep time, that is my obstacle with the veggies sometimes. Apples are great as a snack and you don't have to limit them at all. Other fruits are very nice too - grapes, bananas....don't buy snack foods at all any more. When you go out, take apples with you.

    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...
