I'm sorry that you had an eating disorder -- that must have been so rough. I'm glad that you got better.

Me, I have been doing the opposite of dieting because of the new meds I started in December -- in fact, I've gained over 10 pounds in the last five months. I'd rather be fat than insane, though :]
