@ MuddyBoots - I hope the online recovery support group helps you; like I said in the bipolar thread an ED support group only helped me become more competitive with the other members of the group; numbers weren't allowed but certain things got out once the sessions let out and before they started. Of course, that was an in-person group. Just if you start finding it hurts more than it helps, don't be hesitate to use common sense and stop attending the group.
I'm still at it with the overexercise but I'm eating enough my weight isn't fluctuating (though often I find myself wishing the number would go down) even though I know I am thin, bordering on underweight when it comes to BMI, but whatever, EDs are so messed up, I am pretty much convinced at this point this sort of ED thinking is not ever going to completely go away. And yet on the other hand, these past few days my body image itself has been good, even if I want the number on the scale to be lower, I'm all messed up and jumbled in my thinking when it comes to weight and body image. Even my feelings with eating like if someone says they haven't had much appetite in another forum (let's just say the bipolar forum since I'm active there), I'll feel horribly guilty that I do get hungry and have an appetite and am eating regular meals and snacks which is good for me and what I need to be doing so why do I feel guilty about it?!
