Ugh, sorry to hear about your therapist problems. Do you live in a small town? Non-ED professionals just don't seem to get it, as it seems you have found out. After the fiasco at the VA I tried someone else who insisted I count calories... really? I told her that doing that is triggering but that I knew what normal portions were. She still kept going on about it not knowing that what she was asking me to do was something that could potentially pull me back into the anorexic side of things, grrr.

Anyway, had a bad day yesterday but as far as suggestions, I know that if I just stick to eating in my dining room and NOT in front of the TV or computer I will be fine. That seems to be what it comes down to. I am just going to have to stick to that no matter what... on my own.

Being a nurse has to make it that much harder because you know the ramifications of your actions. I can't even offer any suggestions. What stopped 90% of my ED behavior was doing 4 years of chemo: interferon/ribavirin combo tx for HCV (not cancer for folks who don't know what that is)... Talk about putting things into perspective! I think I only purged twice in those 4 years.

I am going to update my profile for IM contact. Something I should have done before starting this thread. I have a Mac therefore use Jabber for IMs and didn't realize I could add yahoo to that. Yea! I thought it was primarily google.
