I have to tell you that you are amazing. I hope my daughter fights as much as you. I'm going to share this post with her so maybe she can take strength from it for her struggle with ED. Keep up the excellent work and have fun on your trip. You deserve it.JThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462865368063703405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-39514632739745227002007-11-27T20:47:00.000-05:002007-11-27T20:47:00.000-05:00Absolutely!!Awesome post, carrie!thinking of you w...Absolutely!!<BR/><BR/>Awesome post, carrie!<BR/><BR/>thinking of you with love,<BR/>jeanneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032617457209218758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-79319679960771824962007-11-27T15:31:00.000-05:002007-11-27T15:31:00.000-05:00There are still days when I'm not all gung-ho abou...<I>There are still days when I'm not all gung-ho about recovery, even days when I'd rather go back to starving and purging and overexercise. It's real. Those feelings are still very, very real. And my turning point was that I could still have those feelings and still do what I needed to do in order to recover.</I><BR/><BR/>Yes, YES yes! I think this is one of the most important things you've written here, and you've written some pretty amazing things. <BR/><BR/>You're great!<BR/><BR/>xoxo<BR/>SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11813023808982058233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-25011156627096448062007-11-27T08:47:00.000-05:002007-11-27T08:47:00.000-05:00BTW, weight is a good thing! Fat is a good thing! ...BTW, weight is a good thing! Fat is a good thing! It keeps the brain healthy and the body warm and it gives energy. Allow yourself to take up space and I assure you you won't turn into a room. Your perception needs a minor adjustment./**** You are a fierce warrior chick in this battle so don't forget it. <BR/><BR/>The trip ahead has the potential to be a great adventure! <BR/> Distraction is a powerful tool if you'll use it right now. Let your imagination paint you a better picture of what might be. I know it's hard but IGNORE the ED as if he's not there anymore. I know it's hard to trust yourself but you really can. <BR/> ED is no longer an option. You are recovering so please please step away from the holes in the path hoping you are stupid enough to fall in. You are so much wiser to the games now. <BR/> I wonder what the ocean is like in NZ? I know there's a feel to the earth that's different in other places. Is the sky bluer? Are the sea shells bigger? Plan on sharing this adventure Carrie.maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05476646540007179475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-89327629879904123332007-11-27T00:36:00.000-05:002007-11-27T00:36:00.000-05:00That is what I would call SKILLFUL, EFFECTIVE and ...That is what I would call SKILLFUL, EFFECTIVE and GO CARRIE GO! You are powerful, beyond belief, keep doing what is effective. I also hear you doing something very skillful which is chaining different skills to be effective; radical acceptance, doing what is effective, which does not necessarily mean liking it let alone loving it but moreso doing it.samsi77https://www.blogger.com/profile/14722162473483919292noreply@blogger.com
