Hi, im writing because I am in need for
some advice. I am 23 years old and in
school to become a doctor (ya I should of
known better). I have had a eating
disorder for about 3.5 years, I believe it
started when one of my guys friends
started teasing me ( I am really not
sure). Well it began when I started on
the atkins diet (bad idea). I began to
overexcericise with the fear of gaining
weight. Well 3.5 years into it and I
need help. My worst fear is gaining
weight if I begin to eat healthy again, I
dont know what to do. I want to get
cousling help, but I cant I dont have the
money for it.
If anyone has any advice or have been in a
similar situation please help.
I have a minor eating disorder. You say
that you attend school? Look for a
counseling service there. If not, ask
everyone you know--do not be embarrassed.
You need to get some help especially
since you have been suffering for 3.5 yrs!
Have you told your family and close
friends? They would probably be your
first best source.

I agree with the above - especially re
using the resources available at your
school - counselling etc - also many
people with eating disorders have
emotional issues, lack of self-esteem etc
- so often find support groups/group
therapy etc of help in these areas &
that flows on to help with the eating
disorder.
There's also alot of information on the
web - (google etc) & you might find a
free e- book>
