Oh I think I know you....  Seriously we could be sisters. I am a couple of years ahead of you is all. That fat girl thing still is inside my head and I still have fear but it gets better each day.

Oh yeah .. I'm sure we could be sisters! We sound very much alike .. except you sound like you're fantastic ... and truthfully .. I'm still really struggling to like the body I've got now!!
I can't get that fat girl inside me to shut up .. I've managed though for the most part, to silence ED!! I actually would love to become more competitive and a better athlete, but I don't think I would ever have much desire to get into B-Building ... I think with my ED history, it would probably just throw me right back into that mindset and send me OCD about every detail. Personality flaw on my part :\

PPS: If you can afford it, buy the book "New Rules of Lifting for Women"

Step ahead of ya girl .. it's already in transit to me
I wanted it mostly for ideas of how to shift between weight workouts since I tend to be very repetitive in my lifting routines (same exact exercises for each muscle over and over and over ...) and I want to also get more ideas on alternating between high rep/low weight, low reps/high weight, pyramid lifting and supersets. I figure the more I can confuse my body .. the better right?

What do you want to eat? There's no reason that good whole food needs to be mundane or tasteless or boring

I really want to figure out how to eat .. It was SOOO easy when I was in inpatient treatment .. they toss me a menu with two choices for each meal .. I'd pick one and voila .. zero stress about what to eat. Unfortunately, while I'm a walking database of nutritional values/calories ... I just am completely clueless as to how to structure a solid meal 4-5x a day. I wish I was filthy rich and could just hire a personal nutritionist to prepare all my meals for me, which would then force me to be de-sensitized to calories, fat grams, protein, etc .. I just have no idea what I'm doing! I love your idea of having a few stand-bys that I can just rotate between. I'd love if you could PM me with a sort of menu of a few meals that I can start with. I have no idea how to really put together a meal at all, that contains the appropriate amount of macro-nutrients!
Thanks again girls .. you're giving me hope that I can fight my way through all this crap and come out on top .. hopefully!!
