  • A life without ED......

    Saturday, July 19, 2008

    So, things are going good.. Like all people in the world, I have good and bad days.. The bad are getting less, and less. I am slowly finding the happiness, that everyone has talked about.. When I say people, I mean, doctors, therapists, nutrionists, counselors, and all the people I have met along the way.. The hardest part of this recovery is not so much the food, but about who I thought I was,&n...

    Monday, July 27, 2009


    I know that I understand, how little they really know.
    And that look of pity on their face, will always show.
    They can't look past and get to know, the person deep inside.

    I have lots of hopes and desires, and things I dream of. 
    I know my legs may be useless, I may travel b...

    Yesterday a friend on DS told me that I had really helped her and she wanted me to know it, this was a really humbling feeling for me as I th...
