Motivation has to come from within ourselves......we have to own the reason why.....no one can give us that desire.

When I was at the point where I would have rather not lived....there was nothing that anyone could say that could convince me to eat......but then again when I was under major stress after a trauma, I had the same problem....but I was still in the bad marriage at the time....the only thing that helped push me out of the anorexia at that time was my new foal that had been born & needed care & she was something special in my life that I had never expected I would have.

Now I'm free from the bad marriage.....I still struggle with eating....but I keep my weight at a safe place. I have been lucky that I haven't destroyed my body with the years of anorexia & the many times I tried to end my life in other ways.........looking back....I am thankful that I wasn't successful because I never imagined at that time my life could have ever been as good as it's turned out.....it could be better....but it's so much better now.....it's worth keeping my weight at a safe place without allowing it to gain or lose too much......

Find it takes more control keeping one's weight at a safe place than it ever did trying to eat nothing.
