ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! And you make a great point too. I've been having trouble with my eating disorder too. I feel almost like i'm giving up a part of me. But that part really isn't worth keeping. Thanks for posting this.
ReplyDeleteYou do have everything to gain by giving up your eating disorder. Let this be the year that you do! You also have everything to lose by not giving it up - it will steal everything from you. You can do it!!!
