Considering Over Eaters

by

I have already done food addicts and I didn’t like it. I need a support group, not the opposite. I am already hard enough on myself and I don’t need a room full of critics to mess me up even more. I would love to say that other voices don’t affect me, but that would be totally untrue. They do. I am a sensitive person. I have built up more love for myself over the years. When I do esteemable things, I build my self esteem. Looking back at all that I have done in my life, I am very proud. In retrospect, my memories make me smile. … hmmm … there are some memories that don’t make me feel to great, but without life’s obstacles, I would not have made the esteemable choices. Is esteemable even a word? I don’t know, but I think you get my point and that is what is important. So, yes, I have made personal, inner progress with my career. Now, I want a true support group. I want to go into a room where I can talk about my current challenges and triumphs. Even if the story is the same, I want to be able to share it. If it is different, I want to share that as well. A support group sounds like a great thing for me at this point.

About Eating Disorder Talk

The goal of Eating Disorder Talk is to encourage family and friends of people living with disordered eating - as well as sufferers - to learn more about the conditions, where to get help, the risks associated and another vessel of communication. I come with 20 years of experience living with (and sometimes for) anorexia; my job is not to cure, it’s to allow others to speak. This means wanting to help those that want help and to provide a voice to those who don’t.
