This is NOT a Pro ED/SI blog. I'm not pretending to be perfect, i'm not recovered, but I WANT to be.

today you are you
that is truer than true
there is no-one alive

First things first...

I was so determined to stay away from the whole online eating disorders thing...but some idiot has just posted a ton of pro mia stuff on my livejournal, which i have now blocked. I am soo angry!!

Soo-first things first, PLEASE DONT contact me if you are in any way pro ana/mia, im working hard towards recovery and im determined to get better-i dont want ED taking over my life anymore. Please help me by not asking me for tips and tricks, cos i wont be replying.
I do understand that some people get to the stage where they feel they just have to except ED as part of who they are. Believe me i felt that too, but now i dont want to let Bulimia win.

What I wanted to do was just write about things that are helping me, and id like to talk to people with the same sort of idea, and offer support to those that would like it :)
im happy to share my experiences with anyone and talk about what has helped me in therapy etc, so mssg me or leave a comment, and il put up links to Pro recovery stuff.

sorry for the ramble!I never thought id write a blog about my ED, but its a step away from the privacy of it all...cant keep it all in forever:)
But seriously, it drives me mad, search Bulimia on youtube etc, and you get a ton of people wanting to know how to throw up, and things like that...Bulimia isnt just about being on a diet(which it really isnt, before you all grumble at me!), its about the feelings behind the behaviour.
And its soo not cool, or a good idea to try and 'give yourself' an eating disorder, or aspire to have one...i dont get that...its not something you can just play at...yeh sure, go through the motions until you realise its swallowed you whole-pardon the pun, but this attitude majorly winds me up.

So lets talk Pro Recovery! please leave comments/suggestions :)

You go girl! I so love your attitude. I started my blog with the same idea. And writing and getting it out there goes against what Ed wants which is isolation! Putting it out there holds us accountable. Recovery takes such strength and courage and time!!!! Be patient with you!
I have seen these pro ana websites and it infuririates me that these gals make it some joke. It's almost a slap in the face and sickens me. There needs to be more pro recovery sites!
Keep posting, venting, writing about your struggles and victories!
btw I LOVE pink and girlie stuff too and am 33!
((hugs))
