I've been having problems with my eating for a number of years now

"I've been having problems with my eating for a number of years now, & only found out about 'First Steps' quite recently.  At first I was contemplating going along to a session, but was never able to find the courage to go along, & as a result I kept putting it off.  One week, I made myself go along to a Thursday evening group session & was surprised at how friendly & welcoming everyone in the group was. The atmosphere was very calm & relaxed, & at least everyone in the group felt comfortable to give some input throughout the evening.  I found it extremely beneficial, & comforting to know that there were other people that were struggling with very similar experiences to me, who were very helpful & gave me a lot of useful information.  My Eating Disorder can make me feel very lonely, & like nobody understands what is happening in my life, but 'First Steps' has enabled me to find others that share my problems, which makes each day seem brighter for me.  I would most definitely recommend 'First Steps' to those who are struggling with an Eating Disorder, as they are a positive form of support for anyone & everyone."
