completely understood, love. Triggers are triggers, no objections there. i avoid areas and topics as well. We do what we can.

you're right. you cannot explain... but maybe, just maybe some people can learn that the biggest step to changing this is not being ashamed... being able to share... we aren't committing a crime.. we're affected by a disorder. i have yet to meet anyone with an ED (whether they knew i had one or not) who didn't wish they weren't this way.

yes, sometimes there is temporary excitement even... we get giddy.. we lost weight or whatever.. but it isn't lost on anyone how we got there.

thanks for being supportive earthmamma
