I'm a 19 year-old female residing in Kyoto, Japan. I have not been diagnosed with an eating disorder, but I'm well aware that I have one; possibly even several.
My main goals in going through with this diet are
- to learn how to lose weight in a salubrious way
- to gain some self-esteem
and ultimately,
- to stabilize my life (rid myself of disordered eating patterns)
Probably the most difficult aspect of dieting is resisting competition. Most of my close friends and many of my family members are all active dieters. Sometimes I become so caught up in dieting that I become highly competitive, constantly comparing myself with everyone. The irony is that although I'm surrounded by dieters, I have not yet been able to establish a dieting compatibility partner. It's probably my way of avoiding competition and conflict. I do need and want one though, and if it's someone online then I'm positive that there would not be unnecessary conflict. So if there is anyone out there that would be willing to be my online compatibility partner, that would be really great. I wouldn't mind a guy or a girl, but someone around my age would be preferable. Thank you
