Hi, I'm Jo and I created this website on July 4th 2004 for many reasons.
When I was creating my Communications A2 project, I discovered there was very little information available on the internet about eating problems apart from websites telling you that you need to talk to people...etc...etc. There was nothing just giving you the facts and somewhere to talk whether you were a sufferer or just generally interested.
I myself suffered from very mild Anorexia for possibly just over 6 months. It only became obvious to me about 2 months ago when my ex-boyfriend picked up on it. I was only just 6 stone in weight and if I was unhappy or just feeling down and I didn't like it, I could control something - what I ate. When I did this I got a sense of...success. I've recovered now - I think.
Food is still an enemy of mine. If I start feeling sad or depressed I binge on sweets...or I stop myself from eating for a day. It's hanging over me like a dark cloud and I doubt it will ever completely go.
