Hi! Thanks for the helpful info. :-) I don't take more than the recommended dosage of pills a day, but I know that they still aren't good for me, and I'd like to stop taking them. I guess that's why I wanted to look into treatment options. On some level, I guess I realized that a lot of people with eating disorders also take diet pills. I just wish that all of these feelings would go away. :-( I just want to be able to eat normally and be happy with my body.
