Keep Your Eyes on Your Own Plate

by

This is not an easy thing for anyone to do. I can be so good, just like anyone, at looking at what other people are doing with their diets. I could judge what they think and talk about. I could notice everything and anything. Do I really bother to indulge in these thoughts, to the best of my ability, I do not do this. I used to, but now, I do my best to focus on my own self (my own plate) every day. Nobody really wants to waste their time thinking of others they cannot control.
For the record, this is a blog about eating disorders. That is a broad topic and can be discussed in many different ways. Everything I say on here, is open for people to judge and react how they choose. That is the beauty of this blog. If I spoke about other things aside from food, then I would be writing for the wrong blog. Here, I expose my food addict side. I talk about my own issues because it is not my business to speak about others. However, if I feel like talking about someone else, so be it. As long as I talk about eating disorders, I am writing for the right blog.
If you find yourself really reacting to stories written, ask yourself why? Why does it bother you? I am comfortable with the truth of my life. I don’t hold anything back anymore about my food addiction because that is where I really get in trouble and get lost in this deep, dark hole of denial. It’s lonely there and I am not anxious to explore that horrible hole.
Hmmmm … where am I going with this? What I’m saying - if you find yourself bothered in any way, take a look in the mirror. Usually, I find, when something is really getting to me, it’s because I’m truly unhappy about something within myself and ignoring it. Keep your eyes on your own plate.

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.
