    so happy for you. when i was younger i , too, had an ed was in the hospital many times. the last time if i didn't sign myself in they ( the doctors ) were going to put me in so i wouldn't have any control over what happened to me. it was hard and i hated every second of it. but i did it. over these many, many years it has raised it's head have had down falls ( but not to far!) i have to be caeful not to fall in it's trap for at times i still want to be back at 70 lbs!! gets stronger when i'm under a lot of stress for then i really have to make / remind myself to eat. stay strong !!

    Y'know what....you're a rockstar! :glasses:

    I'm sorry you struggle with ED, but am so proud of your will to be healthy.

    Thank you for sharing such a candid account of what you go through and why it isn't as perfect or as wonderful as ED glamorizes it to be :heart:

    I'm not a rockstar or anyone special. Just an ordinary girl with an ED but with the courage God has given me to share my story. I am trying to get more followers to my blog bc it inspires me to write. So please share my link bc I want to help others through my recovery process. So I have a reason to fight. And I'm thinking of ending my relapse tom.

    This is inspiring. I used to have EDNOS, and am now considered fully recovered. There are so many reasons why you should go on the journey to recovery. It's like climbing a mountain. You will slip and fall sometimes, but you can keep going.

    It's so worth it in the end. You're happier, and can live life.
