<human>: Hi everyone! 

I'm posting here as opposed to the Day 1 Thread because my newest journey into weight loss scares the crap out of me. I've lost weight before and nearly died twice due to anorexia nervosa. The anorexia started when I started wanting to lose a bit of weight and snowballed until my heart stopped working and was unable to make myself eat at all. 

I don't know how to lose weight in a healthy way. I don't want to become the monster that I was back when I was sick in my late teens, but I know that I am unhappy with myself and unhealthy. 

That being said, I took a look at the FAQ and all these diets and exercise regiments are making my head spin. I don't want to **diet**, because that implies a start time and a *stop* time, I want to have a **permanent** change in the way I eat and exercise. I am also pretty financially limited being a student with PTSD who can't work. 

Here's what I know: 
* I don't know where to start the change
* I will start biking (when it's not ice raining outside)
* I don't know what healthy eating looks like anymore

I don't really know where to start. Any help at all would help because I'm kind of at a loss for what to do? Should I just keep counting calories?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
