Dear freewill,
mtaylor has a great post - break it down, do one thing at a time.
I'm struggling with several EDs, too. I think your post mentioned several goals you were thinking about. I'm not perfect, I'm overweight, but from what I understand NOT doing something is harder than Doing something. In other words, I am trying not to worry about my being overweight again, I'm trying to exercise every day. I'm trying not to avoid eating candy but I'm trying to eat more protein and lettuce, which really does a good job of reducing my hunger and there's less room for starch and sugar (my faves). I have degenerative disc disease, so I can relate to your fibromyalgia pain. I've lost an inch in height due to ruptured discs. I have to keep active because not being active lets my back muscles spasm and then the pain is worse for me. Right now I'm not doing a really good job of balancing internet usage and being active, er, um... I need to turn my computer off and go start a load of laundry... I think it's really helpful to commu nicate with people who understand what you're going through! Thanks for posting, but please accept that you're not uncurable! We care about you. write us back, ok?
