When I first started reading, I knew I loved your writing but the more posts I read, the more I became inspired and highly aware of how much we have in common. I too struggle with binge eating and non-purging bulimia and was diagnosed about a year ago, after dealing with this disease for 10 years. Way too long. I've been in recovery for a year, and I've been contemplating writing a post about my time with Ed and my recovery journey on my blog, but I've been holding off. But this is really inspirational, and really giving me the guts to keep writing. I see you've written so many more posts than just this one on this topic, and that is really encouraging. So thank you so much for opening the door to this conversation, and for inspiring me to do the same with my readers. anne taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677170391472474197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-84214995618863317062012-08-24T11:15:50.620-04:002012-08-24T11:15:50.620-04:00I'm just now getting a chance to look through ...I'm just now getting a chance to look through all of these posts and EVERY SINGLE ONE tells me something I didn't know (like, your body will sweat out extra calories, it's the long run that counts) and makes me feel more hopeful about my own recovery.<br />Thank you.<br />Thank you. <br />Thank you.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10767171745320881379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-85060700137122436752010-04-16T21:28:47.659-04:002010-04-16T21:28:47.659-04:00you're so brave and profound-you're so brave and profound-Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624349621537848131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-40223016541506332712010-04-15T23:12:32.029-04:002010-04-15T23:12:32.029-04:00Hi,

I've been struggling with my own "Ned" for a few years now. It's amazing how much "Ned" can not only effect my physical health, but my mental health, my very definition of who I am.<br /><br />It is always helpful and gives me hope when I know that other strong people have their own "Ned" to battle.Emihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07745859408161334174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-72935111788856391682010-04-09T13:37:00.950-04:002010-04-09T13:37:00.950-04:00I am in the same boat as you.

I work in a fashion company and it's amazing to see how many super thin girls I work with that regularly say "I'm naturally this thin". When we had our health fair, several of my friends didn;t even come up on the chart for being too underweight. I will be reading more.

I'm a big binger and I've tried to combat through controlled dieting - which works short term... and now, through exercise, exercise, exercise. I'd never really thought of it as a disorder, just a big appetite - you've made me see it's not just that. Often I eat so much that I'm in physical pain, but somehow I can still fit in another bite!

I just read this one and wanted to say thanks for posting it. I'm in the exact situation as you are; I felt like you were writig exactly what I go through. My nutrionists tells me that I don't have an eating disorder per conventional standards, but that I have "disordered eating" and so I'm working on that.

I tried for the longest time to figure out who Ned was and just had to use my childhood context clues. <br /><br />Thank you for being so courageous. I saw so much of myself in this. A friend of mine said to me recently, "What you just said about your eating sounds like bulimia, but without the purging." I thought maybe it was just me. I don't know what to say except thank you. I hope someday we can talk.
