It seems that I only complain about my treatment center but I truly am grateful for their intervention in helping me better identify, understand and deal with my eating disorder.  They were a lifeline for me in that they validated my behavior and showed me that conventional diet and exercise doesn’t work for those with Binge-Eating Disorder.  Before treatment, I felt like such a failure always thinking “why couldn’t I get this eating and weight under control for the long term?”  They showed me a way out of the self-torture, I just needed to figure out how I was going to get to the exit.
