Thanks you!! That's really helpful. Number 5 really applies. yea, and after reading some stuff, I feel like i've fell into a form of bulimia-like, I binge, and then instead of purging I work out really hard. Sometimes I even cough up food, but its not like throwing up.' It really scares me though, cuz I don't want to fall into another eating disorder ya know? And also, I try to tell myself I CAN have anything if I want it, but at the same time, because of my previous eating disorders I have gotten a digestive disorder, so I really CAN'T eat whatever I want, so that makes it extra hard. xo

i know exactly how your feeling i was anorexic/bulimic for about 4 years and it may be hard to find a middle between never eating and eating way too much
it just takes a lot of learning and lot of time and patience a few tips that really help me are
1. Always check portion size (whether its too much OR not enough you want to have the perfect portion size) 2. Always eat breakfast even if your not hungry make a fruit smooth and add some fiber or protein powder and take it too school you wont feel over hungry and itll help you eat healthier at lunch and dinner 3. Never say Never. too foods never tell yourself "oh well im gonan STOP eating chips and chocolate" instead say "im GOING to eat less chips and choclate" or "I'm going find a better solution for chips and choclate" 4. Its ok to go "off" of your diet every once in a while one peice of cake or pizza will NOT make you gain weight (boy did that one take me a LONG time to learn) 5. Just be active regularly. Make exercise a regular part of your day. or make a specific activity a part of your day liek walking the dog or having to walk a few blocks to get mail. if your constanly thinking how to work off what you ate or how many calories you need to burn to loose weight your more likely to over do it and just go back into the same cycle you were in
Good luck!

Hi. I was anorexic for about a year and a half. I've been "recovered" for about a year. The problem now isn't that I'm not eating, but that I'm over eating. I binge when I get stressed, and right now I'm really stressed. HOw do I get around this. I enter the food i've eaten today into the meal plan and I've gone over about 1,000 calories! I don't count, but still, that puts it into perspective. Any helpful hits?
Also, I really would like to fitness model, and train for it, but between school and stuff it's really hard. Any suggestions for that? Thanks.
