Recovery Programs
You may consider checking into a recovery program for a period of
time.
Shades of Hope
If you are open to religion and at least 13 years
old you may want to consider calling Shades of Hope. They offer
a 42 day stay at a pretty location in Texas, during which you'll
receive exercise therapy, individual and group counseling, addiction
education, nutritional assessment, food plans, etc. Their philosophy:
"We believe that eating disorders are an addiction and thus
treat them as such. We believe that although behaviors may be learned
if the issues causing the behaviors is not addressed then recovery
is not attained. Shades of Hope strongly feels that those with addictions
have a "hole in the soul" a lost connection with one’s
spiritual self. Until one admits one is helpless to the disease
and that without help from something – a God of one’s
own understanding- that recovery is limited."
