Hello Jen,

I am glad that you decide to try again. I too have PTSD for years since I was

a kid for another altogether different reasons. Not something I would share

in this group. However, as for you can talk about anything include what's

bother you so much whether it's the foods or other among things.

This group has help me to recoup what I have once forgot long time ago before

I lost my IE due to other reason. Though feel free talk and if you want to

talk. I am here on yahoo messeneger at anytime you can just said hey or

anything.

Hi Jen,

A book that may be easier for you is "The Rules of Normal Eating."  You

don't even have to read the whole book--just the first chapter really

had a powerful message for me.

I used FitDay for almost two years, and if I can give you some advice,

it would be to uninstall the program.  I think FitDay is a great tool

for people who need to learn about nutrition and things like that, but

it's bad for people who get very anxious about what they're eating and

tend to obsess over it.  I didn't realize how much it was contributing

to my obsessions and anxieties over food until I walked away from it. 

If you think about it, FitDay requires you to be either constantly

planning what you're going to eat, or thinking about what you did

eat.   I have enough problems with food without having my computer

making it worse, lol.  So I hope you can let it go as well.  I think

you'll feel better doing it.
