I am here because I know I have an eating disorder.I have no support and my husband doesn't understand or believe me when I try to talk to him.
Actually no one really understands me accept the nutritionist I am working with and my therapist.
I need additional support and saw this site on eating disorders online and decided to give it a try.
welcome to support groups! one thing here you WILL get is a lot of understang caring insight and words of advice and support!
please share more when you can!
love

I am a 35 year old mother of 3. I have been battling with weight and my relationship with food since 16. I am just now in the last year starting to really grasp that there is some hope for me and that I dont have to live in this secret box anymore.
I originally was diagnosed with eating disorder unspecified, which I didnt understand. But now have come to the understanding for me that, it means that I am anorexic but think im bulemic, and have body distortion. Gosh that sounds really bad, ummmm I think that is the 1st time i have said that out loud. yikes see oh gosh, tears, gosh all for now.
Thanks for your response Maureen.

Hi mamma!
I just joined this website a couple of days ago, and I have been really pleased with it. Every single comment I've gotten has been kind, helpful, and very sincere- it's really nice.
I'm really sorry about how your husband is treating your eating disorder. I think it's great that you're looking for support in other places! I'm also glad to hear that you have a therapist who understands, and a nutritionist. That's great!
Anyway I just wanted to say hi and let you know I'm here if you want to message back and forth on here or whatever, for extra support.
Have a good night :)
Bumble,
Thanks for your response,
I have to say honestly your story is strikingly similar to mine I am struggling with same behaviors. It was really nice to read and understand there is someone else out there trying to deal with the same things I am.
Hope to talk to you again soon
Tami
