Hi everyone;

Just found this site and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what a good diet program might be for me? I am 40 years old and somewhat active, but I am carrying 80 extra pounds on me.

I feel fine eating breakfast after 7:35 am, lunch around 1 and dinner after 5pm- if I eat too early or too late I get anxious and upset. At the same time, I want to not eat and lose weight. I do restrict and stick to non-fat foods, though (certain foods make me especially uncomfortable). I decided ...

My first session was weird, I walked through the door and just started crying. I was really stressed out with so many things, and I just poured out everything. The counsellor focused on my ED, and the fact that ...

Hello Ladies,

I am new and I have been looking for support and understanding for my disordered eating for some time. It all started when I grew extremely dissatisfied with my weight and athletic performance 2 summers ago. I was overweight and wanted a complete makeover. It made me really proud to have lost about 35 lbs by running and restricting my food intake throughout the entire summer. Occasionally I would make myself sick when ...
