Hi there

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I didn't really know where to start so thought just introducing myself was a

good place to begin!

Here's a bit of background about me and why I'm here. I'm 24 years old, and

from the ages of about 17 to 20 I struggled with anorexia. Having thankfully

kicked that in the butt, I nevertheless still struggle sometimes with what seems

to me an unhealthy relationship with food, especially at times of stress.

When I was recovering from anorexia, I read the book Intuitive Eating and it

helped me to see that there was a different way to approach food, but I've never

managed to jump on board with it fully. I struggle to stop eating when I feel

full at the end of the meal, my brain taking over from my body and telling me

I've got to finish it. I also still struggle to relax about eating so called

'unhealthy' foods.

This next year is looking to be a fairly stressful one for me - I'm getting

married next October so am busy planning that, myself and my fiance are looking

for a house together at some point before the wedding and I'm also trying to

change job. So I'm taking a lot on and don't want my relationship with food to

get in the way.

I want to go for this properly now, but I'm nervous, scared, and quite frankly

just don't know where to start!

Thanks,
