Mommies with eating disorders

I think there should be a mommies with eating disorders forum. A place where those of us with eating disorders or recovering from can talk about it and support each other. please please please!!!

I agree with you. I've encountered quite a number of women here that are recovering from eating disorders.

it is such a hard subject, and i think it would be helpful for mommies with them or even without them. A full on support group, and hopefully can truly help some women! As much as I am trying to be strong myself not to fall into it, it is a hard thing to avoid nowadays. I have been avoiding it for years, I am not there, I don't have one, but there are days I think, gosh it would just be so easy... ya know, and to be able to talk to people about it, and learn from them, would help me stay stronger still. (sorry i tend to go off into detail quite a bit) I do think this is a good idea for a board though.

I am a recovering bulimic and it is a struggle everyday to not revisit my past. I never got counseling for it or anything....I just fought it and won, but it is a fight everyday and I imagine it will be a fight for the rest of my life. It always comes back to haunt me. A board would be a nice idea I think. I was going to suggest it myself a while back but wasn't sure if there was a need. Thanks for doing it for me.

I think this is a great idea..

My sister died from having a eating disorder, she was bulimic for 9 yrs.. Some people dont take it seriously, and its serious because it can and will kill you. My sister died because of it, and she left 2 beautiful children behind.

I am so sorry. (((((hugs)))))

Oh my gosh I am so sorry about your sister. I have been bulimic for 10 years and thats my biggest fear, is that I will die and leave my four kids behind!

Thats why I really hope that we get this board up and going

I also think its a really good idea!

I know it is hard for alot of women to admit they even have an eating disorder but if they see they are not alone and other mommies out there have the same problem they have someone to talk to you never know how many people it might help..

I used to have a real problem eating then throwing up.. I havent done it since way before i was pregnant.. But i have thought about alot my finace told me he'd kick my butt lol
