Okay, I'm one of the 'oldies' on this board (I've been on here for about 2 and a half years) and it has helped me, but I also struggle with some issues that are hidden behind everything that I can hide them behind. I've told no one, and I'm not about to tell anyone I know. I've lost about 30 pounds so far in the past 2 years, and i really need and want to lose about 20 more. Here are my problems which I have realized: I am compulsive and obsessive about my body. It's either eating or exercising, usually both, and I also have a poor body image, and I can look in the mirror one minute, see myself as pretty, look in the mirror the next second, and see myself as the ugliest thing in the world, and it doesn't help now that almost all my friends are getting boyfriends, and I just feel left out and not wanted. This is definately one of my low points, but I don't want to have them at all. Anybody have any suggestions?

Like, if you like your hair, or something like that, start with that and just pick small things that you like about yourself.
