HS, I hope you're getting help with this battle. Disordered eating is not something you can solve on your own. And don't be afraid to use this group for support as well.

Are you still training and/or racing while you go through this? You might consider taking a break. I've coached more than a few women (and men) with disordered eating. I think this sport encourages it -- the super-lean are the best climbers, thus the best athletes. Be very careful in this environment.

And get yourself healthy and whole again, okay?

Hey, good to see you again!

Happy to see you Sunshine!!

As for good stories, I've had several friends, clients and colleagues with eating disorders. All of them managed to beat it with the help of clinicians , family and friends. Most of them had to change something about their lifestyle. One friend had to give up athletic competition completely to avoid putting pressure on herself but she is very happy, healthy and whole now. Another friend gave up gymnastics and switched to adventure racing while vowing to never get on a scale again, that worked for her.

Good luck with your battle and we're here to listen.
