Many hugs to you. Good job taking a huge step in taking care of yourself. You can do this.

Good for you! I'm always inspired when someone recognizes a need in their life (whatever it may be!) and takes the appropriate steps to do something about it. I hope you are happy with the support you receive there.

Good luck.

[aussiecrush]

That's a huge first step. Best of luck to you.

It takes a lot of courage to admit that you need help and do something about it. Good luck and all the best to you.

Check out the Recovery board. There are amazing ladies over there in similar positions.

Good luck, and hugs! Disordered eating, on either end of the spectrum, is such a tremendously scary place to be but it's even scarier to seek help. I hope this is the start of some positive changes for you

i am always here for you if you need. you are such a wonderful strong person and i know you will get through this.

Thanks ladies. I have so much work to do, but I made the first step I guess.

The first step is the most important one!  I know it sounds like such a cliche but that's what you do: One step at a time, one day at a time. Everyday is a new opportunity for you to work toward the goals you set for yourself.

You can do this Gracie!

Good for you for seeking help to tackle this. I wish you well. And ditto the recovery board.

I know the emotional eating all too well and I admire you for facing this and trying to make changes. Good luck!!

[aprilsails]

Congrats on taking that first step. There's so many people here who will help support you in this. Take care of yourself and be kind to yourself. Good luck!

[mellymel]

Good luck, Gracie!!
