One day turns into two and next it turns to 15 years. If you fall just pick yourself up again and go forward.

"This may be just me and my past,,but the way i think about Ed's is that you will always live your life with an Eating Disorder. now weather it is an active one or inactive,,that is totally up to you."

This is SOOOOO true. Thank you!

Remember this IF you do "fall off the bandwagon"... you ARE NOT EVIL, YOU ARE NOT BAD, YOU DIDN'T FAIL... just stumbled a bit. Pick yourself up and continue!

I know you are right and I even tell people the same thing but it is SOOOOO hard to believe that when you think nothing you do is ever good enough-you know?

geness,

You didn't binge and purge today!! Your first time in 5 months. Be proud of yourself!! That is a big deal... Just take baby steps until you get where you want to be..

YAAA HOOO!!!!

absolutely understand!! You must try to keep in mind though that a lot of how you feel has to do with your past and how other people close to you (family) make you feel that way. After you see that try to seperate yourself from them (I dont mean phsycally...I mean emotionally detach yourself from the negative influeneces ...the control!) and be a strong woman as an indivdual. You dont have anything to prove to anyone now. You and your sisters are all unique people and you are not competeting with them or anyone else. You will lose the weight you want to lose all the while sparing your "esophagus from rupturing" ...

And the best thing about coming out of your ED is that your weight loss will be LONG term...you will have a FAST metabolism and be able to enjoy some of those "forbidden" foods without having to worry so much..... and best of all... you will regain CONTROL of over your body and your LIFE!!!!! If you want control....learn how to control your behavior...this will be more sastifying than ANY purge!

KBGrl-Damn--you are awesome!!!! You are so right! I guess I just feel all this pressure-even from co-workers-they are probably the worst--ALWAYS commenting on my weight loss--how could I gain weight and then have people whispering about me like they do now. I could not handle it. I would feel like such a failure and everyone would agree.

The best thing is that I am catching up to two of my sisters--I am the same size now as one of them and only a size away from the other one. I will never catch up to my older sister who is tiny and toned because she did that whole "Body for Life" thing. And my mom is tiny too. AAGGHH! Oh well-one day all their clothes will fall off of me!

Thanks so much for your post! My throat/esophagus is still bugging the shit out of me but hopefully since I have not purged today-it will feel better soon. The real challenge is when I go home and how I can handle that. I will let you know!

You are so great! Thanks!!!!

Wlibbe - there is hope for you girl so I am going to chace you all over the place LOL

you said:

That would be an excellent start, the program although you will outgrow it has a foundation that will get ya where you want to go.

When I said you would gain weight - I'm not talking so much that anyone other than you is going to notice.

If you really want revenge on those sisters - I have two perfect little salad eaters myself then realize that you can have any body that you want if you are willing to work hard enough for it.
