I just wanted to say thank you. I realise now that even though this community is unhealthy its what we need/ed at the time in our lives. You girls were so encouraging and Great and if anything else you atleast diserve to know where I went.
So my new blog didn't work out, and I've been clean(of all drugs including weed, ciggs, & alcohol) for about a year now. And I had a therapist for a while but never told him about my ED. At first I used him to "test" and see how well I was faking emotional stability, but after a while I ended up actually opening up to him and it helped me alot. This summer he cleared me and told me he thinks I'm normally adjusted to life and any mental disorder I may've had is no longer. About a month ago I got a call from a recruiter for the Marines, and after talking to him decided I would join. The Marines have changed my life.
But still I think its impossible to completely recover from an ED. At this point I just focus on nutrition and health rather than counting calories and losing weight. I still feel really self concious when I don't excersice and have a fairly low self esteem, sometimes I feel fat and want to go back, but I'm fighting through. And I know I can't tell you to recover but if you ever feel your ready or thinking about I would love for you to feel that you can talk to me.
I'm going to keep this blog and update when I can. I'll put alot of poetry up, which I think yal will like, and lastly, I want to post a few picture of me. In real life.
This is me and my best friend at homecoming, I'm the one in the green.
This is me and my sister when she tried on her boyfriends uniform. I'm obviously the one not in the uniform. We wern't high or anything it was just a really fun day.
And this is just me. In the body I used to hate. I'm 5'4" and wiegh 125- 130 lbs(it varries). My measurements are something akin to: Bust- 36", Waist- 26", and Hips- 34". My body isn't perfect nor will it ever be but its no longer a prision. I know I'm beautiful.
We're only human. We can never be perfect but were beautiful at any size. Smart, talented and fun. We can be as much or as little as we please but no matter what we have the potentail to reach the stars.
Stay Strong Girls <3
