recovery. its possible.

180to120

my name is bree. im 20 years old, and i use to have EDONS. i say use to because i no longer suffer from this disease. have i been in recovery for years? no. how did i do it? i just woke up...i literally woke up. im not sure exactly how i got to this point. because i didnt follow any program or steps. i threw away my laxatives, i threw away the toothbrush ive used forever to purge, and i pulled my head out of my *kitten*. i believe we as people can do so much more then we give ourselves credit for. i want to express how you can just do it as nike says. if you dont want to be a victim to your eating disorder, then dont. now you can tell me all day until you are blue in the face that its not that easy, but i will turn around and tell you that your wrong. due to the fact that i have had an eating disorder for six years, and one day i said no more. im not doing this one more day. i believe with every fiber in my body that i am good enough. and for the first time in my whole life i can actually do this. no more games, or self hate. all of that is stuff that goes on in my own head, and there is no reason for me to be at war with myself..i dont want to binge, or purge anymore...i just dont. i feel like im finally coming into my own and im finding that im liking who i am...im not fat and ugly and unworthy, im beautiful, im so damn smart! im funny, there is so much more to me then i ever cared to notice. good bye bulimia, good bye EDONS, ive raised the rent and kicked you out of my head!

I seriously could not be more happy seeing how far you've come over these past few months Bree! You are such an inspiration that the disease can certainly be licked and I hope many others follow your lead! SO many days I've been so impressed with each positive step you take, even if it meant just not beating yourself over a misstep.

Cheers babe! :drinker:
