It was really like having nutrition and counselling sessions packed in one.

That's awesome! I was kind of fighting with myself with whether I wanted to be healthy or whether I wanted to get to my "ideal" (aka ridiculous) weight. I was torn in two. I think that caused me to keep heading in the wrong direction, the part that was pulling me toward that was small but strong. Now I am 100% committed to being healthy. I always knew the health risks associated with the disorder but I kind of ignored them and pushed them aside as things that "are unlikely to happen to
me" I'm not sure why but it recently got through to me the reality of how dangerous this stuff really is.
