Hi everyone! Welcome to my page!

My name is Stephanie. I am a 19-year-old female from Canada. I currently weigh 110lbs at a height of 5'6. I have had anorexia nervosa since I was 9 years old and am working everyday toward recovery and health. My lowest weight was 60lbs, and my highest weight was 125 (post-recovery). I was not comfortable at either. I love my body where I am at right now, and hope to use CC to maintain my weight and happiness.

A question I often get - why recover? Why give up the control; and even if you are willing to forfeit control, how exactly do you do that? There is no magic solution. I endured 6 rounds of intense hospital treatment over the past 4 years to get to where I am. I cannot tell you what "flicked the switch" for me, but I can tell you that the journey was worth it. Instead of waking up and immediately collapsing because my legs are atrophied and refuse to work, I wake up looking forward to work, classes, exercise and all the people in my life. Instead of staring in cupboards, for what seems like hours, to find something to eat, I can whip something up and (usually) feel good about eating it.

(to be cont...)
