Hi,

Am hoping someone may be able to offer so words of encouragement, maybe from experience....... I was an anorexic from about 20 yrs old and although I have gained weight and now have a BMI of 17.5 (now 26), but I still am weight obsessed, I still check my weight a lot and feel bad when i see ive gained a pound. I used to eat what i want (within reason!) and wasnt worried and i now want to be able to order food in a restaurant without trying to work out the calorific content like I used to. I figure I will always be sensitive to weight issues but am hoping I can get to a point where it doesnt occupy so much of my thoughts as currently it is always in the back of my mind. I want to be able to just accept my body shape and size and enjoy having curves, inside of fighting them off.
When I see very skinny women, I can see that actually it isnt that attractive, yet I hate feeling an ounce of fat on my own body.....any advice would be most gratefully received...
