People are Reading my Blog?
Holy crap! I have regular readers for this blog? I had no idea and that totally lets me know that the focus on this blog is extremely important. I am sharing this because there are so many of us out there who relate to this very important topic.
There are so many different kinds of eating disorders - mine is binging. Some who are reading may be throwing up or not eating any food at all. I can understand the mindset for all of the those disorders. I wish I didn’t. But the reality is that I don’t understand how to be normal around food … and neither do you.
So, this blog is becoming what I had hoped - helpful. To me, talking about my own experiences, is the best method of help I can come up with. If you, the reader, have a better idea, DO IT. Don’t waste your time criticizing me. Become yet another person who helps others with this awful disease.
Hold up. I am not putting myself up on some pedestal. I am sitting right next to you in an imaginary chair and openly sharing my own struggles. I have strong opinions, but I am very open to hearing other thoughts. I may not agree with you, but I will listen and do my best to understand.
I hope that by me talking about it, it may influence you to come out of your shell and talk to someone about it. I came out to my mom about it last week and it was frightening. Writing this blog really helped me understand the importance of talking to mom about it.
Anywho, I just found out I have some fabulous college students who have been following my blog for a bit and it made me really aware of how many people could be reading this. I have no idea on how to tell how many hits I get. Glad to know that people are taking care of themselves and reading up on the subject. … but don’t just read my blog. Read as much as you can. Get involved in a group when you finally get the balls. Get out of your little cave. Do it for yourself. You deserve it.
And here is a fabulously cheesy song by Michael Jackson. I think I may have posted this before, but I really can’t remember.

I think a lot more people are reading your blog than you realize. It is brave and honest. A friend of mine who I was in treatment with for my eating disorder sent me the link to your sight. Apparently someone else from our treatment center sent the link to her. I admire you for what you’re doing here. Keep up the good work and stay strong.
