Defining moments... you asked...
I have an ED...
I have a friend.. a former neighbor, our sons grew up together.. we shared dinners, prayers, our sons, holidays, up's, downs, everything.. I love this person..
She always has had an ED... riding the very edge.. of thin... eating like you... not balanced.. not good.. wanting to be thin.. so she was on the very edge..
I didn't see her for 6 months.. and ran into her in the store..
she is now 5'6" and 73 pounds... I asked what happened.. she lost control.. in 6 months she lost control - that fast because she was already riding the edge.. My heart is shattered...
She says and has ALWAYS said "I have no problem, I eat"..
Well.. I immediately talked to her son.. and her husband.. her son.. is heartbroken.. he has stress and strain on him.. he is 23 years old...
She is Still in denial.. I eat what is the problem..is what she says..
Did I mention she had a heart attack.. even before the 73 pounds..
I have an ED... I love each of us that posts here.. I really do..
my ED..
I ate like you... then yes.. I couldn't keep anything down.. my system stopped processing food... gradual..
Then I started noticing.. I can't run up the stairs at work anymore.. I can't get dressed without sitting down.. I am tired...
Then..... I can't work at my career anymore.. couldn't concentrate...
Then... I simply couldn't eat for a very long time.. and I lost weight dramatically... then the "good" news... a heart attack..
acid reflux, acid went into my lungs and I have asthma..
And... it started with "I don't have a problem"...
So now fighting my way.. and I mean fighting...
I have 7 foods that will process... that's it..
I have had to have years of therapy.. years...
And.. it is never over..
So please.. take yourself out of denial... and get some help..
say "I have a problem"... "I love my husband.. and I will take care of me".
Let THIS... be your defining moment..
my very personal story... that I have shared with you because I care... I truely.. do..
