I too have had an eating disorder and gained a bunch of weight due to meds and other reasons. I'm now going to the gym 5 times a week for half an hour to an hour of exercise each day, 2x with a personal trainer. I have to be sensible about how I'm going about losing the weight so I don't trigger myself back into the eating disorder. it takes a lot of awareness. you can do it!

Love and hugs,
Tara
Thanks for the reply! You're right, I think exercise would help me to lose some of the weight without strict dieting. I need to be better about that!
