Replies to '03/15 Starving for Perfection'

I am concerned for these woman.. I once battled with this awlful disease.. I was 23 and went from 160 something to 107 pounds.. I looked like a skelaton (sp) with clothes on. My hip bones would stick out so far that when I layed on the floor on my stomach  I would get huge bruises from the hip bones being on the carpet. I went to the doctor and he told me that if i did not start eating I would die.. I feel its a control issue. Usually we get the mind set that when we cant control anything else  but we can control what we eat. 

 I did finally come out of this sickness.. and am now a healthy size 12 and weigh 160 something. I feel soooooooooooo much better at this weight than at 107...I do know that when i was loosing the weight, I could not see that i was skin and bones, until my sister stepped up.

 I was raised in a disfunctional alcholic family and food was something I could control. if I was only thin enough, used to be my thinking... IF..... Get all the books that you can get your hands on and start reading... YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH--- just the way you are.. its not whats on the outside that matters, its on the inside of us all...we all struggle at times, and its O.k. to ask for guidance..I could go on and on... But we all know, that we all will "GET IT".. on our own time.. when we are ready to face what the REAL issue is behind this disease...

God Bless
