i do things i enjoy but i have to REMIND myself. let's make a list! i spend time w/ my kids,take walks,listen to music,hang w/ friends. thanks for the post.

I would enjoy life more. I would have more energy for my kids. I wolud have friends, I don't have any right now. I would be social. Right now I just isolate myself. I would have a better relationship with my husband. I would go out to retuarants and enjoy myself without worrying that I am going to get fat. Life would be ALOT better without anorexia, but at the same time I'm afraid to let go.

I think I would be more child-like and feel free to do what I wanted instead of feeling like some prisoner. I think part of my eating disorder is not wanting to grow and change, but keep things just like they are. Maybe if I didn't have an eating disorder I'd actually be able to enjoy life, but I really can't imagine it.

wow that post reallyy sets a good mindset for me, thank you!

i would go out partying with my friends...i would be able to drink alcohol wihtout worrying about the calories...i would go out to eat and order what i truely wanted and not something that i deem safe (lettuce)...i would be less stressed and i would use the time i wouldnt be spending at all of my doctors appointments to maybe find a passion like dancing or some type of sport....i would go out on more and laugh more often....i would be so much happier..i know this in my heart of hearts to be the truth but it is so hard to let go of something that is my crutch and has become so familiar....its kind of hard to recall my life before all of this

I don't know what I would do... study more :p I feel like I haven't changed much... I don't feel like it occupies my life, just my mind... if that makes sense.

i agree with sammer....my life is pretty much the same. i do everything any normal teen does...it's all inside me, i feel like i'm going crazy most of the time.
but as far as life goes, it's pretty normal.

i guess the only thing that would change is the way i react to things ie letting people know i'm "Crazy"....crying in front of people or laughing too hard at unfunny things....lol

ok if i didn't have my ED i would have so alot more clothes and go shopping more, id feel more attractive, i would study more, and maybe take up a sport like kickboxing, i would probably have a more organised life. Oh the main one, i wouldn't still be living at home with my parents, and wouldn't be on medication

I would be less depressed and stressed out. I'm always worried about what to eat.... Restricting myself is torture.. I think life would be more open and carefree, but as everyone else has said, i cannot imagine being "normal"

I would not be so stressed out and on edge all the time. I would cuddle with my husband in the morning and then with Noah when he got up. Now I'm the first one up so really early so I can exercise.

I know I would be enjoying life a lot more!! My marriage would probably be alot better and less stressful. I would be enjoying family dinners a lot more and I know I would be more focused on my children.

i know that my e/d is ruining my lfe. it controls me...every portion of my day revolves around it.it rules my whole self existance. i hate it!!i would like to be normal again. i had friends id hang out w/,i had so many different interests and hobbies like craftmaking, cake decorating, cooking /baking,music,schooling for nursing,ect...i mean, i dont even have time to hang out w/ my family or friends. it really sucks!i wish that i could have my old life back and not have these addictive behaviors of mine. but then again, can i really beat this?

I don't really know....I have had an E/D for 22 years... I don't remember what it is like to be "normal" in that regard...I would likely be doing all the things I do now like Sammer said...but it would be so nice to not have the relentless battle I have with food everyday.....
