It's almost as though there is a set path towards developing an eating disorder. And once you put even just one step in that general direction, you're already on that path before you even realize it. ( Read more...Collapse )
I wanted to create a group where people with eating disorders could chat together freely about the sort of things that only other ED sufferers could really relate to.
Now that I'm getting older, I'm finding it's more difficult to find other adults out there to commiserate with.. Those who are also struggling with food issues, body image distortions, obsessions with numbers, and how it all impacts our mental health as a whole. Yet, at the same time, trying to remain conscientious adults. Especially those of us, like myself, who are now parents- a role model of healthy behaviour for our children, and also needing to take proper care of ourselves so that we can be healthy and strong for them.
So I made this group with all of that in mind. A place where we can write about daily life with eating issues, trying desperately to control our weight, and trying to find that healthy balance.
If you feel this group is for you, request to join and then post away about what's on your mind. :)
