i posted this in Eating, but i dont think much people post there..
didnt take too long did it? posted about it a while back. Prolly like 5 monthes ago or so. Idk just a guess.
Im over starving and am finally creating a positive body image for myself. Instead of looking in the mirror and automatically noticing negative things I think positive. Because honestly I look fine and good. Im healthy as a horse and im not overweight at all. Plus some people say im attractive.
Ive actually been over starving for a while. Thats old news. Then after that I found out about my control issues and battled them. After learning about my control issues I realized I had alot of control issues around pretty much everything I do, so I improved all over. Im creating a social life very slowly, but surely its coming.
I have finally found a reason to live.. Life continues to get easier and easier for me. I want to find more and more coping mechinisms and keep gaining knowlege about myself, and changing and doing new things. Im extremly proud of myself, but im definalty not done yet.

Wow Sam, that's sounds great. Eating disorder, self image issues are tough and go deep, and these issues are not always given the respect due them. Open any magazine, etc. and it's no wonder why. Interesting to hear that you teased that out of your insight into control issues.
Sometime these eating issues can resurface with times of stress, so my two cents is to take good care of yourself, and surround yourself with good friends who understand and reflect back to you your own healthy sense of self. Congratulations!

P.S. folks at the psychology board might be interested in this? (a guess)

I'm glad you posted here. You are right to be proud of yourself. I hope you get a sense of how proud others are of you as well. Body dysmorphic disorder must be hell. It seems that a little CBT has gone a long way.
Nice success story.

Sam, I hope you didn't take my suggestion about posting at psychology board as that I didn't want you to post here! I just thought your thoughts might elicit more response there. You could always cross post. I'm not sure this is in keeping w/ Babble protocol, but I do it sometimes.... However, I was pleased to hear of your success!
best regards,
