Everyone's unique: For some this might be easy. For some, it is not easy, but they really want to. For others, it may be a bad idea. If you think it will help you even if it's hard, you can make it a small non-detailed comment. "in case you've been concerned, i wanted to tell you that i've been dealing with some eating issues. I'm trying to get it straightened out and want you to care, but not to worry." best!

Prepare, Get Support: I wonder about starting w/ getting good info online, incl. Info on how 2 share information w/ ur family/friends/docs. U might want 2 check out info @ website of national eating disorders ass'n (neda): www.Nationaleatingdisorders.Org u might find some helpful guidance & suggestions. U might alsobenefit from speaking w/someone at neda. It can help 2 prepare 4 disappointing or unsupportive reactions.
