Chances are that if you are reading this then you are struggling with some kind of eating disorder

“Chances are that if you are reading this then you are struggling with some kind of eating disorder. I have been for a number of years, and probably would have given in to the constant battle without the un-ending support of FIRST STEPS. You will know the pain and suffering it causes and the isolation you feel, but you are not alone because FIRST STEPS really do care and understand. Although I often don’t have the courage to go to the groups, I am so very grateful for the support and advice I have received via email. Cathy has always replied and encouraged me through some extremely tough times. I often re- read the letters on really hard days as they are a source of comfort, offering hope, that you can get over this illness and go on to lead a full and happy life.  Hopefully one day I will find the strength to go to the groups, but in the meantime I would like to take this opportunity to say a great "thank you" to FIRST STEPS for everything they have done for me...but mainly for just being there. Don’t suffer in silence, reach out for support...they are there and they care"
