Eating Away

Quickie

I've had a tough, past few days, with personal family issues driving me to binge. I feel that the only solace I have is to eat, otherwise I'll scream. I'm convinced an ED person created Pop-Tarts; they are the perfect blend of flour and sugar, and have that "breakfast" connotation to them. As if I'm going to burn off two Pop-Tarts throughout my day.

Thanks for the comments - I can't even begin to tell you how much they help me. I'm having such a hard time with this. That's so simple to say. Is there anyone who says, "Hey! This ED is easy!" Perhaps that's why I've hated many of the ED books I've read. The problem seems to be solved with a few therapy sessions, group meetings, and wow - you are cured and your body image is amazing! If only it was that easy. I would just love to write myself into one of those books (which seem to be filling up the youth/young adult section of libraries and bookstores).

Hahaha I hear you about those books. One good one I know about is called " The monster Within" by Cynthia Rowland McClure. She is amazing!!

Hi Mata Hari Mom, I just wanted to give you my support and let you know that I agree -- ED are not easy! It took me four years of recovery/relapse before I finally felt like I had a leg up on bulimia.

Now I figure that I just take it one day at a time -- because who knows what tomorrow will bring, right?

By the way, I think you are perfect just the way you are -- the fact that you are reaching out to us in blog world tells me that you are a connector. You are connecting us all and letting us know that we are not alone. Thank you for that!

I'd like to celebrate imperfection as the new perfection -- want to join me?! :)

With love,
Heather
