Unhealthy obsessing with weight/body image. Help?

Hi everyone.. I've recently been really down on myself with the whole "body image" stuff. I'm a health freak as it is and so I obsess about it all of the time. I tend to count calories without even realizing it, lol...

Anyway, I'm afraid this obsession will become worse. I'm leaving in 4 days for college and I'll totally be in charge of what/how I eat. I typically choose 2 of my meals in a day, anyway... but having a freedom to eat if I don't want to.. that's the thing. Occasionally if I feel like I've eaten too much, I'll try to throw up. There's rare... and I'm never successful anyway.

The point is, I don't want to be like this. I just can't seem to find that motivation that sticks me to staying healthy by eating right and exercising. It's mainly the eating that gets me. I've tried PEERtrainer before, but it didn't last long.. I've tried a lot of things.. but they never kept me to it. Possibly because my intentions for doing this is all wrong.. Lets face it.. the media has hyped that we have to be skinny and have great bodies..

I would just like a person I can add to my email.. or a messenger that I can occasionally talk to so I can be reminded of my goal and habits I need to fall into. Basically, a buddy that I can share the successes and downfalls with.

I'm more than willing to provide encouragement too.. and I do know quite a bit about dieting. Like I said, I'm a bit of a health freak. I really have been obsessed with it for quite some time.

So, if any of you are interested, feel free to email me: [email protected]
