I'm Christina and 22 years old and about 5'4. I'm a computer science major and am pescatarian. I love asparagus, soba noodles, bananas, and special k red berries. I lost about 23 lbs over a little under a year. I went from 137 to 116. At 114 and a size 2, I still thought I was fat, and was obsessed about weight loss. I ate typically under 1000 cal a day, but still hated my body. Then it all started somewhere around a box of cereal, and some cupcakes a girl would bring to work every wed. I started the binge/ purge cycle I'm still viciously trying to break myself from. In the course of this my weight has shot up to 124. I also developed Night Eating Syndrome where I eat carbs half asleep. This also contributed to my new weight gain.

 

I hope to loose the binge weight in a healthy way, but still love my body and not restrict too far when I reach a my goal weight of 117. I just started Effexor and hope it helps with my anxiety and emotional eating. I'm worried about the "fat" side effect, but just hope for the best and am trying to keep level while I wait it out and see. My weight wasn't under control to begin with as far as I see it. 

Being healthy and loving my body is most important to me, and recovering from my ED. It's a terrible monkey that you just find on your back one day.
