Thread: My commitment to health.. (And journey away from eating disorders & unhealthy habits)

Its hard to believe how low I have gone. And how relatively quickly its all happened. In less than a year I have gone from unhealthy (but not necessarily full on disordered) eating, to a strict diet and exercise (along with weight loss) to binge eating, to bulimia.

The point of this thread is to accompany me on my climb out of the dark hole I have found myself in today. I may slip up.. I may get side tracked or back track.. but I am committing myself to becoming healthy in body and mind. I owe it to myself and I owe it to my boyfriend and best friend.

Another reason for this thread is that if anyone else comes on here and is struggling with bulimia, depression, or any other disordered eating and the feelings that go along with that.. you are not alone. And hopefully my journey and commitment out of it can help you too.

How will I know when I am healthy. Well physically I will know I am on the right track when I begin menstruating again and my hair stops falling out. Those are my two most obvious physical symptoms. Mentally.. Well I guess I will just know.


Feel free to ask me any questions, leave any comments, feedback, support.. etc. It will be appreciated.
