G'day

Hi all. I'm new the the site as well as new to the forum. I am also someone who grew up in an abusive situation. The abuse only stopped when I got out of there, actually. Some of my earliest childhood memories are of sitting at the table alone, still eating after everyone else had left, determined to eat until it hurt. That was always my goal - eat until it hurt - even though I was too young to understand why I had the compulsion. With that kind of behaviour, it's no surprise I've been overweight a lot of my life. It's great to see so many people here who understand what it's like to go through abusive trauma. (Not great that it happens, but great that we're not alone with the trauma.) Anywho, I'm just peeking around here. Nice to meet everyone.
