  • Goodbye Xanga - for good.

    Hey guys. I am leaving Xanga for good. A few days after I wrote my new years resolutions on here, I took a long, hard look at my life. I thought of my future. My ED will NOT rule my life forever. So I wrote down WHY I wanted recovery vs Keeping my ED. Now, almost 3 or so weeks after my decision my life is so much better.

    I am eating 6 meals a day, and I feel stronger, healthier and most importantly HAPPIER. I no longer go to bed scared that I might just die. My blood pressure is no longer so low, that I get dizzy and break out into a sweat. My heart palpitations have stopped. I don't lie in bed and make myself in the tiniest ball in order to stop the hunger pains. My tummy isn't being ripped apart by the pain of my ulcer. My face isn't swollen because of all the purging.

    I no longer exercise hours on end. I can sit and relax. I look for recovery quotes and tips to make me happier and healthier individual. I am braver - I am dealing with all my issues, facing them head on, from my family issues, to my sexual abuse. I am getting happier day by day.

    I fall now and then, but with one major difference - I have the ability to STAND UP and FIGHT. I am happier than I have ever been. I CAN and WILL do this. I am not my Eating Disorder - I AM MORE.

  • hate

    "You are beautiful" - I hear the words on tv and want to cry, I want to scream and cry.

    I see how the girl on tv is struggling to look at herself - and I feel so, so ashamed, because I see myself in her.

    I see her hide her body, I see her sadness, I see how desperate she is to run away from everyone and everything - and I feel so, so much pain because I can identify it.

    "Your picking up weight aren't you?" - my friend (whose studying psychology) says matter of factly. My world is crushed. She knows I have an ED, yet still she says it, no malice - but it cuts deep. I feel so so ashamed.

    "I'm so happy my baby is getting nice and fat. You're picking up weight" - my mom makes the remark with a smile on her face - I am disgusted inside. I feel like a failure, I want to scream and cry!

    "You know how ugly 'dying2bsum1sthinspo' looks when she gets fat, don't you?" - a remark my mom makes to my grandmother over the phone. It's done so casually, as if there's nothing wrong with the comment. I am crying inside.

    I don't have the energy to try to exercise, or eat, or not eat. I just don't have the energy. I am passing everyday - floating - not happy, drowning in sadness.

    I go to bed wishing for death, wake regreting I'm alive.

    I hate my life, I hate myself, I hate my body. I hate everything.

  • Movie day

    Today my sister, 2 friends and I had a movie day - we chilled at my place eating pizza, playing games and watching movies.
    *
    I really enjoyed it - it was something I haven't really done in a while. ED normally screams at me, telling me not to hang out with people - but sometimes, it actually feels good to ignore ED and just have fun...
    *
    This isn't something I always do, so when I do it, I enjoy it quite a bit!!
    *
    Eating the pizza was such a challenge for me - I half wanted to run away, and purge/cut somewhere, but I held my ground - and it felt good.
    *
    What did you do that was super fun today? Anything that really challenged you?

  • Missed everyone!

    Hey guys!! Wow! I missed all of you sooo much!
    *
    I am so glad to be back!! How have you all been? Hope all is going great!
    *
    I have been so busy with exams - and other ED related stuff, so haven't had time to update.
    *
    My life is kinda miserable at the moment! All I do is eat - it's freaking disgusting! I'm getting so ugly and fat... But there are things I will start doing:
    1. Looking at thinspo
    2. Exercising
    3. Being the best I can be...
    *
    That should give me all the motivation I need right??
    *
    How have you girls been?
