Hey everyone,

I felt the need to write a positive post, amoungst the rough ones...inspired by an admin who also made a positive post

I'm wishing the best to all of you out there who is struggling with yourself and your eating disorder, do not let it take over who you are or who you were. You are not your eating disorder. You are important and strong, and have the right to stand up tall. (Or stand up short, if you are my height!)

I have been Bulimic for over a year (that I know) and probably much longer than that as I have read my many blogs on other sites over the years. For only a few months now I have been seeing a wonderful therapist who has changed my thoughts on EDs. It felt like only a little while ago I never thought I would stop purging but now I feel there is hope of recovery for me. And if I can believe this, so should you.

She made me realise just how much I judge myself, so now I always stop and pay attention to every little thing such as "I look bad today, I can't wear this, I look fat in this shirt." Instead of saying these things to myself, I stop before I do. So my advice to you is to catch all of your judgements, and change them into something positive, even if you don't believe it. You soon will.

Be patient. Recovery is not fast, nor have I recovered in just these few months, but already I am feeling a bit better about myself and I have not purged in about 2 weeks. What an accomplishment!!

I pray that all of you out there can stand up and get the help that you need and deserve, and can start treating yourself and loving yourself the way yo should.

NEVER GIVE UP!! IT DOES GET A BIT EASIER!!!

hope.. does live...
