View ProfileI understand what a lot of people with eating disorders have, and will, go through. I also know what it’s like to feel so very alone. My eating disorder actually left me with very few friends because I became so self-conscious and introverted. Luckily for me I have a loving family, as well as, a very loving long-term boyfriend that have helped me through thick, and very, thin.
I often feel that I am so much better than I used to be. I eat regularly, even cookies and candy, I don’t have as many reservations about eating out and trying new foods. I still count calories most of the time, but I count much higher. I feel healthier, and I even like my body a good portion of the time. But I will not say that I am 100 percent because I still have bad days. You know, those days where you just want to cry and maybe die because of something as frivolous as a bloated tummy or something like that.
As hard as it all is, it’s even harder to go through it alone, even if I do feel like I’m so much better than before. Even the most loving family can’t truly help because they won’t ever truly know or understand. I just want to encourage the women on this site to talk to one another, no matter what stage of an eating disorder you’re in, there’s nothing like moral support.
