Hi ptina! Welcome to the board! We're glad to have you join us.

I'm a little confused, you state that you have been struggling with anorexia. Are you currently trying to lose weight or eat this way to prevent diabetes since it runs in your family?

Hope to see you around the board!

Re: new here

sorry i just reread my post i meant in addition to bingeing. The typical one extreme eating disorder to the other. I think this WOE is a great because you can eat normally without starving and still loseweight

The mind and soul are a great thing to heal too! OA is a support group and you go to meetings and such? That's a great idea.

You will lose your 35 pounds in a healthy way. When you're done losing, you will be in control of your eating and you will feel great, probably look pretty good as well!!!!
