Just read your post in proana.

Found it very comforting as you and I have many similarities.

I am 27, by no means anorexic, but am a compulsive overeater, binger, restricter, overexerciser, laxative abuser and basically a "non purging" bulimic.

I dont catagorize myself...I just know that I am truely food disordered.

Stay in touch! Its nice to see us older girls on here!

hi there nice to meet you :) Im Katie by the way

[newport3158]

you are right, the communities do attract alot of the teens and i mean i understand it, they are the dominent generation of the internet age

[tinykittykat]

I understand what you are saying in relation to the younger generation and the internet. I am a high school teacher, and I am deeply concerned that one of my students might find me on here. I try to steer clear to talking to younger girls because I would feel irresponsible. I will comment on things they might write but I try to steer clear. I try to discourage the use of laxatives and things like that there are alot of girls that ask.. are they any good and I always write my horror stories.... to deterr them

So I know I am so far out of date here, but just wondering if any of you are still around?
I have been fighting this restriction/over eating/diet pill disorder since I was 16. I am now 39 with 3 beautiful children. I find myself struggling again. I have spent the past few days reading community posts and ran into this.
Everyone I have ever met my age with any type of eating disorder has been in recovery for so long, that they don't know how to help me. And my damn dr just thinks I need a support group. But they are all teens that look at me like I'm crazy.
I am 5'4", 137lbs, single mom of 3 sons.
I hope you are all doing well. Contact me if you're still around and want to chat.
