[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1723863, member: 345386"] [USER=468740]@lalacakez[/USER] - As someone who suffered with an eating disorder, albeit many years ago now, I can identify with some of the things you say about being driven and excesses of both harmful behaviours, and behaviours usually more associated with healthy living, like exercise. If you haven't shared your story with your GP, then he will take your trimming up at face value and be pleased for you, I hope. Sometimes doctors are a bit blinkered by a result and not by the journey to arrive at that point. So, I think you probably have to help him out in terms of the darker side of your trimming.
