12. Biggest Obstacle to Getting Healthy? I"m a grazer, and tend to grab whatever is on hand. Also, I suffer from a past bout of Anorexia Nervosa (not the sam anorexia we see now a days that involve a body image, but a type of Anorexia that is a manifestation of abuse/stress... lack of eating due to stress) so it makes me nervous to be limiting the amount of food that I can have. I've always eaten whatever sang out to me because of the anorexia. Also, I have PCOS which causes people to have a tendency for weight gain and a medical reason to not be able to get rid of it (also due to that I have insulin intolerance issues which is one of the reasons why I graze).
