starting out...need some support

[Guest guest]

Hey group!

I suffered from an eating disorder for many years but after several years of

counseling and seeking the guidance of a skilled nutritionist who walked me

through IE, I was able to break free from not only the physcial but also the

mental pull of my eating disorder. I thought that I was done with it but it has

been 4 years since I was " free " of eating disorders but when I started my new

business a few months ago, I started seriously restricting my diet and obsessing

about my weight. I have gained 20 lbs over the past few months and I think that

a lot of this was due to a death of my best friend, moving to a new city,

putting my house on the market and not selling yet, etc. I've been totally

bombarded by all this stress and I think that I'm trying to have control through

my eating. My therapist encouraged me to join a support group since I have had

an eating disorder in the past and I don't want to go down the same hell that I

was in when I was anorexic so many years ago. I'm glad that this group is

online and I hope to gain a lot of support so that I can not only survive during

this time but also thrive. Thanks for your support!
