Some personal stories of those who have overcome as well as other helpful links.

Answer 3

Yes.  I used to think I was fat and had severe eating disorders so I was really very thin.  I used to look in the mirror and think I was so fat that I took up the entire room.  It was horrible.  I thought my face had triple chins and my butt was huge.

I saw a therapist for many years that helped me.  Today, I still have some problems, but it is not as bad.  I think it will always be a continuing battle but therapy really helped deal with my distorted thoughts and feelings.
