| Description: |
Warning: this is not your typical eating disorder blog. I will not give you details about what it's like to be sick or how I got sick or how sick I was.

This is about what it's like on the other side, once you've chosen life. A real life, full of the pain and sorrow we tried to avoid by having an eating disorder and also the joy and happiness we can finally feel once we give it up. |

Just my two cents on the whole Kate Moss bit. Some people have crucified her since she’s a role model (cough cough) and said, “Nothing tastes and good as thin feels,” with the fear that this comment, from her, will spur more eating disorders.
Justifiable Illness
Disease
So every so often I get off my ranting high horse and ignore the issues at hand and just give you a plain old update of how I’m doing in this thing called life.
This post may be a combination of all three, although the ranting will be considerably tamed down.
follow-up to yesterday’s post
Yesterday’s post on Pro-ana and Pro-mia sites didn’t generate as many comments as I imagined it would. I had honestly hoped for more. I did delete two comments that ignored the content of the post entirely and resorted to name calling (me) and attacking (me). I don’t mind if you all disagree with me, and I e
