good question.lol..but im as confused as hell about it so.all i know is the more i love the more scared i get and run faster..it IS supposed to stop fear though..real love

I believe the truth is somewhere in the middle. I am very loved by my husband and children and have every reason to become healthy but the fear of gaining weight and losing ED is at the moment stronger. Love certainly helps but it's not a miracle cure. Maybe your friend was talking about loving yourself enough to give up ED and lead a healthy life. But many of us are so filled with self hatred that that is one of the toughest things ever.

that makes a lot of sense Karrin but i guess i see the love you describe between you and your family as a different kind of love. All love ends in hurt tho.

Love (in various forms) makes life worth living. Not a miracle cure but if you have people to love and spend time with and a love for life then it helps you to move on and deal with problems.

I believe that love does cast out fear because through love we become stronger.

I am not sure who old you are but I can see you have no experienced "true love" before. I 100% disagree with you. All love does NOT end in hurt.

Love does involve hurt. But I believe real love doesn't end. I believe it work through hurt and comes out stronger on the other end.

for me, and this may just totally be me but I would rather have loved and lost than never loved at all. and if i hadn't loved and feared I wouldn't know how amazing love is. but like i said totally just me thought
