I don't even know you and I feel so inexplicably proud of you. So just know that, that someone out there who you have never met is proud of this distance you are creating, and they way you write about it here.leah janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05494732330341026417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-5327961379160178792011-09-25T10:19:46.192-04:002011-09-25T10:19:46.192-04:00Your writing is so honest and beautiful. thank you...Your writing is so honest and beautiful. thank you so much for it.

You present your battle in a way that is realistic. <br />For some reason, eating disorders have become glamorized without any consideration to the physical, emotional and mental implications. So many little girls just focus on the end result (the whole lollipop look) without knowing the hell that accompanies this disease/addiction. Eating disorders cannot be controlled on a whim. It’s a constant struggle, and the amount of time until you feel “rehabilitated” in no way reflects any aspect of your personality or your desire to be well. <br />So, you hang in there and seek comfort in the fact that you have family, friends and complete strangers who support you and are rooting for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-62140233801464222152011-09-20T22:54:55.439-04:002011-09-20T22:54:55.439-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Veronikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049057935168056639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-61049239864548640922011-09-20T20:35:14.020-04:002011-09-20T20:35:14.020-04:00Love it. love it.

So much that ...There is so, so much beauty in this. So much that I read this yesterday, and again today--and then, finally, happily, listened to it. And there is something so raw and honest about not only your authorial, writerly voice but your aural voice: the strength of your t's and your absolute conviction in your words. Hearing you read your work brings new things to light: makes me see new, enviable spots of beauty.<br /><br />It is so inspiring to see just how far you have come in your fight against this thing--this oppressive and beligerent force. What I find striking, though, is just how clearly you highlight not only the force of NED but--more than that and with greater and more deeply rooted alarm--the force of society. I think that is quite a contentious thing when anyone discusses an eating disorder. There are those who blame societal and media pressures and those who blame our body and our mind. I always feel that these arguments, however well constructed they are, are too blunt against eachother. You, though, you counter both. The impression I get is that you do not think of the causes--you, instead, think of the path AWAY from it. That is of such great, great importance. Not, so much, to focus on the WHY (although, don't get me wrong: that kind of thinking can sometimes illuminate, then aid) but on the journey of the escape. I like your honesty about how you not only got to here, to health, but also when you fall short. It is confessional, yes. But it's honesty is so, so commendable. I love your comments on society. It turns something so often self-reflected into something bigger--something much more outside yourself. That is such a wonderful and an outstanding and--here it is--INSPIRING thing.<br /><br />I sometimes wonder and worry over my comments. They do not do your posts the justice I want--because they are so incredibly articulate and inspiring and illuminative and I cannot quite bring to the surface just how inspirational you are. (And, on that note: I'm sorry if I ever should, mistakenly, offend--that frightens me). You are beautiful--and I hope you continue to blog for a long, long time. I feel such a lucky, lucky girl to be able to read--especially the best part. The part that is sure to come very soon.beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607850411588165692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-3572500935921371682011-09-20T18:02:49.100-04:002011-09-20T18:02:49.100-04:00I just wanted to thank you for sharing this.
