Step Forward and Take a Bow

I thought I'd be the first one to introduce myself.

Name: You can call me HC.
Age: 19
On the ED side of things: I am in full swing with my ed, but I am capable of supporting those recovering as well.
Stickynote: I'm a dork!! Feel free to pm me anytime. If I end up getting too many pm's then I might be slow in replying. I'm also a very very visual person... aka a picture/smiley fanatic.
Funny quote: "Don't knock on death's door. Ring the doorbell and run like mad... he hates that."
Pet: <Taco


Feel free to ask me questions.

i guess I'm the second. Call me Spider (some of my friends do). I'm looking forward to getting/giving support here. And having fun convos. I can also be pathetically shy so please bear with me.

Hi, I'm Aki... Told I was obese as a baby, put into ballet at 2, retired when I was 17 but retained all of the unhealthy body image concerns. To this day I'm trying to make peace... My aim every day is to psych myself up enough to eat a certain amount (some days a safe 500, some days something more normal like 1200). If I don't, it's nearly impossible to eat, and then I'll end up binging after a few weeks. That's my story, my life revolves around food. I have no life o.o

Just call me SkullChic, or Skull, or "that one chic" or whatever.

I am not 100 percent sure on the "definition" of my eating disorder. I like food, and will eat, but I don't purge. I feel a lot of guilt if I feel I have eaten to much. I plan on working out like a crazed banshee after the semester is over. (WISH ME LUCK, and some will power )

I'm 21, and was diagnosed with "depression induced anorexia" last year, when my husband deployed. He's back now, and no depression, a bit more eating, but still not 2,000 calories, that's for sure.

I have embraced my "ed", such as it is, as an integral part of my being, and as long as it's not killing me, it can stay. Kind of like my tattoo's or my nose ring, it's just a body modification.

But, yeah. My family is ultra resistant to me losing any weight. My husband is trying to understand it, but he is forceful about anything. I want to lose about 20 lbs, I am 130 at 5'5" currently.

And


Can't think of anything else. HAHA

p.s. I'm now on myspace. You can visit me at www.myspace.com/lycosida. It's private but send me a request and we'll be friends. If you don't like the name, age, and location listed, don't worry, I change them every few days. (Thanks to Pure & Louise who suggested I put in made-up info about myself.) Not much on it yet but at some point I'll add to it. Lycosida is a type of spider (the URL spider was already taken).

I also have www.freewebs.com/spiderr, you can post in my guestbook.

Hello I'm Widget

I believe in a new idea I call Grey Ana - we should accept our ED as part of who we are but remember to keep it in perspective because nothing about us is perfect - including our obsession! It's not about being pro- or anti- or having any particular focus, it's just about loving ourselves, ED and all.

My blog is at http://widgetdiet.blogspot.com and I consider it a bit of a partner site. I keep a diary and also examine some of the philosophical thoughts I have had about my ED.

When I'm not obsessing over food and my body, I'm working as a secretary or writing science or science-fiction. It's a bit geeky but I love it!

You can just call me Kam, or Pickle.
Or Kam Pickle.

I'm 18 and recently have come to terms with my ED. I'm terrified of gaining weight. Right now, I'm not looking for recovery, just support. I also suffer from Major Depressive Disorder. But, if anyone is recovering and needs a pep talk, I'm good for that.

I live with my mother right now and I'm currently looking for a job. I am taking tests to get my GED since I dropped out of high school my junior year. I am friends with mirror addict (in real life). ^^
Anyways, this is me. I have many problems. I am not looking for friendships of any sorts. Just here for support.
