Glad to hear you're ready to turn things around. You actually have to want recovery and follow through to get results...imagine that. I saw such an awesome group of nutritionists when I first moved to Houston for grad school. First, they saw me on a sliding scale since I had no insurance; second, they were all recovered from EDs. It was really like having nutrition and counselling sessions packed in one.
I need to get into a better mindset myself. It happens now and then, I have minor relapses, never so bad as the original recovery starting point though. I saw a PA for a UTI earlier this week, and he was practically thrusting nutritionist info and pamphlets at me. I'm sure if my regular PCP had been available, she might have sent me off for some bloodwork but not reacted so drastically as I've been seeing her 14 years now, she's seen me at some really bad lows.
