Welcome to my world...I am guessing that if you have found this site, you have been drawn here out of personal experience. I am not a doctor/therapist, but I DO care- I know what it is like to be in pain. I would like to express both my understanding and best wishes that you all find peace within yourselves someday. Some of the facts on this site are upsetting- they are not here to shock or horrify you in any way. This is reality. A reality that sadly, many people live with every day. Recovery from an eating disorder IS possible. It is a long, hard journey, but others have done it, and while I myself would not be considered by anybody as 'recovered', I honestly belive that one day, the time will come where I can accept myself for who I am and be able to cope with life without using food/weight as a mechanism to get through the day.
