I...My husband has been researching his family tree. It seems to me that his family tried this restricted eating over a hundred years ago only then it wasn't called CR it was called poverty. Did they live longer? No way! Reading the death certificates of the children is heartbreaking and while some of them died of infectious diseases, it is quite obvious that malnutrition played its part in making them more vulnerable.Fiona Marcellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07985022521354870620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-60453617297998917632007-04-24T19:25:00.000-04:002007-04-24T19:25:00.000-04:00I know it doesn't seem like you'll ever get these ...I know it doesn't seem like you'll ever get these fears out of your head but I know you can. It just takes time....and learning to fully accept yourself. <BR/>It's like the missing numbers in sudoko puzzles. A finished puzzle is a victory but each little find is a mini victory along the way. When you finally finish and the last few numbers fly it's as if they were always there, where they belong.For you the search needs to be for the little things you love about yourself. Look for them. Build on them. I could help but it wouldn't be your own truth, which is what's going to carry you for the rest of your life and when you need it most. And yes, you can paint your nails and still accept them, color your hair and still accept it so don't start up with that nonsense again. Ok? <BR/> In a similar fashion your own puzzle will move along swiftly after you get past this stuck part. If you keep looking outside your own puzzle though, you are going to find that there are cults that seem to validate anorexia, but you KNOW it's sick and that's a victory, you can see this clearly now. <BR/> Ok, it was chess the other day and now it's sudoko. Regardless you have to keep your focus on facing this fear....if chocolate works then by all means use it. I think it's what it was born for! Watch the movie Chocolat if you have it. There's not only chocolate in it but a valuable lesson about life. <BR/>I like what Sandy said about natural fat, "be not afraid." And what Jane said too, about having fun.<BR/> Perhaps you need to have a cyber party to help loosen you up? I'll make pizza and bring the root beer!maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05476646540007179475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-62164044545205494072007-04-24T17:48:00.000-04:002007-04-24T17:48:00.000-04:00Sandy,I'm trying not to be afraid of my natural fa...Sandy,<BR/><BR/>I'm trying not to be afraid of my natural fat and natural body shape. I also take solace in looking at my family and their (physical) health. Mentally...well...let's just not go there.<BR/><BR/>And, might I add, as an aspiring science writer, I'm an avid reader of your blog. I'm awarding you a pretty kitty award.<BR/><BR/>Jane,<BR/><BR/>That's hilarious. They just "think" they're living longer. When I was deep into the AN, I just wanted the day to be over. It dragged by because all I could think about was food. Whether these CRONies are psychologically anorexic (a debateable term at best), they're biochemically such.Carrie Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569839838912988783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-70535595795648410022007-04-24T17:41:00.000-04:002007-04-24T17:41:00.000-04:00My theory--they don't live longer, it just seems l...My theory--they don't live longer, it just seems like it.
