I am jealous that your Dr. cared. (not really, just a little because mine doesn't seem as concerned about my weight as I think he should be).

I am pleased with this part of your sentence:Last night I ate a lot of celery but it could have been worse. But it wasn't worse. lol. By adding, "But it wasn't worse" it shows that you understand your issue, how good and how bad it can be, and you have a respect for your efforts. I think those 4 words suggest self acceptance, tolerance and even like and appreciation for the work you have put into overcoming your struggle.

You put this in the area of Eating Disorders, and not under the Binge / Overeating area. I go there, and wouldn't have even noticed this if not for the title. I think the Binge/ Overeating page ebbs and flows in how often people respond. I think as we become more active on it, it will become more active. I think depression, and self esteem issues are probably common for binge and overeaters and sometimes we just don't have the heart of motivation to comment. I think I am not alone in feeling happy for you, at the same time, sad for myself that I am not medicated.

I am really glad you shared your post, and I hope more people continue to talk in this area. I think sharing is actually going to be good for us all.
