We do not allow numbers anywhere on the site, so if your story contains numbers related to weight, size, BMI or calories you should edit it appropriately.

Anything highly triggering may not be approved.

All writings will be reviewed by moderators and approved for display (they will not appear immediately like other posts on the bulletin board).

We have chosen to now accept articles this way to assist us with the time management required in running the entire site. It also encourages support and communication in all those who suffer with an Eating Disorder. If you do NOT wish to communicate with other members, you can still post your story here -- when you register just be sure to check the box that says you do not want other members to be able to e-mail you, and do not include any additional contact info (like ICQ number or AIM/Yahoo nickname).

Previous articles that had appeared on the site will always be available below -- However, NEWLY SUBMITTED ARTICLES WILL NOT APPEAR HERE.
