I will return
Stay tuned tomorrow for another journal entry. Tonight, I am beyond bagged and still have a few things to do before I retire to bed. Note to anyone applicable out there:
If you have a friend that you’ve known for a little while, and you’re aware of her eating disorder and that she’s trying to make some positive progress but is struggling with it emotionally, please don’t say to her, "you look much healthier," in light of a two pound weight gain.
It will make her feel on display and magnetized. She will worry that if two pounds shows, maybe she should only gain a few more or she’ll end up being a whale. It will mess with her ability to continue making rational eating decisions. Additionally, she will feel like a complete tool later on, when she realizes how much she is blowing it out of proportion.
But it will still sit on her mind and make her feel…noticed. In a not-so-positive way.
