i joined LJ in hopes to connect with people who have similar problems as i do.  i'm not sure where to begin. let me start with this:

height: 5'5"
current weight: no idea, scales are banned for me
lowest weight: 92
highest weight: 148
diagnosed clinically/self: clincally, anorexia turned bulimia (non-purging type, i abuse diuretics and over-exercise)
treatment: therapy for 7 years. hospitalization once. out patient eating disorder treatment this past summer. this is my second time on anti depressants.

right now my mind is all over the place since this is my first entry. but i'm really looking for someone to share tips with, i want to lose weight and stop the bulimia cycle and get back to the anorexia phase. after my past summer treatment i have given up diuretics and am limited in exercise. but just the past few months i have probably put on about 10-15 lbs, after a period of really being healthy and being at a good weight by strictly following my treatments program eating plan. but people with eds can only follow diets for so long, so now i'm back to square one.

Title: Running Nowhere
Author: Miss Peg
Rating: M
Pairing: Skins: Katie/Cook (slight Emily/Naomi, Freddie/Effy)
Disclaimer: I don't own Skins, but I'd like to. The line in the summary is Delta Goodrem ('Running Away').
Summary: "No longer know the girl inside, the stranger in my mind." - A mistake made by Katie is the start of a new relationship and the start of discovering just who she is and who she wants to be.
A/N: This may sound like it's going in a very typical direction...but please bare with me, I don't like cliched storylines, so it's not going to be standard. Please R&R.

A general cast vid for both gens. It was made for a contest in which you had a choice of frequently-vidded songs and could only use very minimal effects, so I tried to focus on the relationships and emotions in the show. Hope you like it!

Title: Come in from the Cold
Author: fandango41
Rating: PG
Warnings: Some swearing
Disclaimer: I don't own Skins or any of the characters
Summary: Back for the new year at college, Katie discovers Effy is even more screwed up than usual but she isn't talking to anyone and nobody knows why. Effy only confides in Katie and their relationship seems to develop.
A/N Written as a gift for skins_holiday

Katie's rehearsed this moment...

What's an LJ Cut?
And how do you modify your font? (like size, colour, blah blah)

 

lj username: SEason09
age: 19
height: 5'2''
current weight: 114lbs
goal weight: It changes daily... 100lbs I suppose
lowest weight: 98lbs
highest weight: 150lbs
what kind of ED do you have? Althetic Anorexia... or just Anorexia.
have you been diagnosed? My therapist says so. Luckily I haven't seen him since May.
how long have you had it? A little under 1.5 years.
your best advice: Competition is extremely motivating, I had a friend who I used to compete with in high school, both athletically and to see who could have a better body. I never wanted to lose and that's when I weighed the least
what makes you happy: Cheerleading, gymnastics, pole vault, running, winning

As a sidenote... I was a member of the LiveJournal commuity about a year ago and was a member of an anorexic support group, my therapist had my mother monitor what I was doing online because I told him about the community I was in... but now that I am out of the house completely I can do what I want and not have to worry about her checking my history :)

2amtomorning
If you find yourself at the crossroads of insomnia and insanity, this is the place to channel those demons that keep you sleepless. Vivid pictures, poetry, ruminations, and confessions from the nether hours between dusk and dawn. Originally formed to celebrate the city at night, there's a strong urban theme.

green_future
Dedicated to promoting global sustainability, this community offers a forum for discussing current environmental news, research, and issues with tips on how to make positive, pro-active changes to reduce carbon impact. You'll also find information on how to get involved in eco-activism and learn about events near you (i.e., act local; think global). Offering a wealth of data on earth-friendly products and practices, you'll be inspired to don an organic bamboo cape and save the planet.

wtf_sexism
Self-described as "a little community with a lot of rage," you can soak up impassioned vibes and read blistering exposes detailing sexist attitudes in the news, pop culture, and science! A must-join community if you are, or love, a feminist. (NB: the topic of whether a "man" can be a feminist is outside the scope of this spotlight, but will probably wind up on the Writer's Block.)
