Adios to eating disorder?
![[Deleted User]](https://wa.vanillicon.com/a6ac92d34b8ac8f8a705cdc65a59c75e_100.png)
Hi, I'm very new to all this, so please forgive me any lack of running knowledge.
Have been trying to kick my eating disorder, but finding it hard to let go of my weight obsession (my bmi's 18.1 - so fairly normal, but always fear that I am but a missed run or a doughnut away from morbid obesity). As an attempt to turn this into something healthier (know I can't go on as I have been), I am focusing on running to maintain a healthy body rather than a thin one.
I do feel at risk of substituting an eating disorder for running, or the latter becoming an integral part of the former. Does anyone have any advice?
