My issue has always been overeating, not restricting or purging, so for a long time I couldn't admit that I had an eating disorder. But when I finally did and joined Overeaters Anonymous it helped me a lot. They also have people in that fellowship who restrict and purge (not just those who overeat).

It was a little tough coming to India though, because diets here tend to be high carb and low protein. And I don't really feel satisfied eating that way, and it's also not good for me when I'm prediabetic. But I explained it to my family, and they did get eggs for me to have with breakfast, and I am eating meat with my other meals.
