LOL i'...ooooo rats.. she's writing another essay... LOL i'll try and keep this short babe. <BR/><BR/>people die from this, like me you have had the utter distress of knowing someone who's died from this bullshit (in whatever form). they didn't get the chance or died fighting. <BR/><BR/>ellie? YOU ARE NOT GONNA DIE FIGHTING. not a victim of this crap. take every loss you have experienced and use their energy and meaning to you. take it and run with it. for every loss add something you wouldn't normally to your diet, break a rule/a behaviour. do it in each of their beautiful memories because if those who had died could say anything to you it would be `do it, do it before its too late'<BR/><BR/>the dark side? one way path to a dead end. recovery? (fucking awesome, hard work but bloody hell its good fun, and hell if anyone has `stuff' to do its you.)<BR/><BR/>im so so sorry to hear jenni took her life... she sounds awesome and the energy she portrayed to you she did with love, positivity and for a reason. <BR/>eds suck bum they SUCK THEY SUCK THEY SUCK. <BR/><BR/>go out, buy yourself a cheap canvas -a physical one and go nuts with paint hun - i promise you its liberating as hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... then??? set about your inner one. <BR/>im not coming to your funeral hun, im going to come to NY to see you and hell ya gonna need energy for J and i!!!!kalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403981875621206724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-26515497279356615512009-03-16T20:02:00.000+00:002009-03-16T20:02:00.000+00:00I really relate to everything you've written in th...I really relate to everything you've written in this post. I wonder what makes me think I can escape the statistics too, and I am frustrated by the period in between deciding to recover and actually becoming physically and psychologically healthy. It all takes so much time and hard work, and a few bad days seem to be all it takes to land people back at square one. But I suppose there are benefits to recovery at all stages - they are just an awful lot smaller than true freedom and spontaneity around food. Things like having a bit more energy and concentration, feeling proud for resisting urges, beginning to feel hopeful again. Have you ever read Gaining by Aimee Liu? It really surprised me how many people who have suffered from severe eating disorders for long periods of time do recover - I think we only hear about the tragedies from most studies and statistics. <BR/>Every day you fight this stupid disorder and put the work into recovery is another day closer to getting shot of it. It takes a long time, but people DO make it, and it doesn't take forever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-72069330453062308322009-03-16T19:53:00.000+00:002009-03-16T19:53:00.000+00:00Life is a blank canvas!

Print it out and put it on your mirrors. <BR/><BR/>This limbo period, and this uncomfortableness at the beginning of recovery is only temporary. It's a hard drag out, knock down fight, but you can get through it. <BR/><BR/>Thos things you want, freedom, an djob you love, being close to someone, those things are lasting. And you can't have them when anorexia is cheating you out of life -- stealing your life!<BR/><BR/>You hold onto the bigger dreams through strength and through constant reminders about what really matters in life. God did not put us on earth to be thin and depressed. He wants us to be happy, embrace his creation. <BR/><BR/>You can do this, just don't give up and push through continuously!Sheenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07556757686360954033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2648777686689672361.post-71987735383430174082009-03-16T17:59:00.000+00:002009-03-16T17:59:00.000+00:00Wow - such a powerful post full of strength and ho...Wow - such a powerful post full of strength and hope and intelligence and heart! i'm really proud of you just for writing this.
