well i thought that i could start a list on the ways i used to help myself out and to limit and eventually stop my eating disorder and i thought it would be a good idea to share some of the pointers with people that are having a hard time:
if anybody has anything to add on to this list please be welcome to

- eating in presence of people
- during meals start a conversation or join the conversation - don't stay focused on eating
- express how you are feeling after your meal to someone that you can trust
- find something to do after the meals - go out for a walk with a friend or family member or start a game of cards, etc.
- don't rush yourself when you eat - take your time
- don't restrict during the meals because that will only cause you to have a binge later on, during the night most likely
- at the beginning, don't try to enjoy the food cause it will be nearly impossible - just tell yourself that you need it - your body needs it - no matter how strong you think you are, your body needs food
- above all get help: go and see a nutritionist or a therapist, someone that you can trust, and tell them what is going on
