For some people it takes longer or it takes a specific event (or scare) that really shocks them into the reality of what they are doing to themselves. For me, it was my husband (at the time) telling me he was ready to leave me if I didn't seek treatment.

Good for you for reaching out and trying to get treatment - kuddos on that one! It's a big (and scary) step!

What treatment are you in now? Counseling? Inpatient? Are you seeing a nutritionist? Please don't let it get that far.
