Is it all outpatient, or is the group a mix of in and outpatient? I was a 70lb inpatient, all bones, and even at that point I thought I didn't "look" ana. Keep in mind that everyone will feel that way, it is the distorted thinking of the ed. My recommendation is that when you go try to concentrate on yourself, not compare yourself to others, be open, and HONEST with yourself and your feelings, identify the source . Honesty is key, acknowledging your ed, not down playing. If your not honest, there is no point of going to the group.
good luck. keep us updated.
