Hey im stacey, some of use will know but most this may come as a shock so il start from the beginning
Ive always had a distorted body image and an obsession with being thin, on and off through my life this obsession got dangerous, i was counting everything tracking every step lying to loved ones and hating myself each day!
A year ago i went to my gp with my issues, i was weighed, but due to still being within a 'healthy weight' albeit the very bottom end of this i was offered no support what so ever despite giving details about fasting, purging and laxative use.
I felt even worse! I couldnt even have a eating disorder correctly and this made me go into a deeper depression and more obsessive and extremly distorted view of my own body wanting to get smaller and smaller to prove i was ill.
I hated anyone skinny than me. I hated myself.
I struggled and muddled through telling only a few people. Strugging with knowing i had a problem and my eating disorder had took over my life but not receiving professional help or support.
Then i found BEAT i followed them for a while using there tips on instragram such as writing a journal and finding that person i could be honest with without fear of judgement.
BEATs support saved me even now in recovery i still have my bad days and weeks and access their online chats but im adapting a healthier lifestyle, ditched the calorie apps and food diarys and trying to love myself for what my body can do not how it looks! GNR is another part of that proving im a strong capable women and i will not let my eating disorder overcome me again!
