I know when i found out that i friend of mine had began struggling with an eating disorder, I was like, thats mine! Don't take that away from me. Its MY bulimia!
I always asked her when she last threw up, and it became a competative thing for me. If she had thrown up more recently than me, I would kick myself for it. I would make myself go and binge, and then throw it up so I could 'win'.
I know, it was stupid. And i probably wasnt helping her either.
But now that I've decided to change, i still want to call it my bulimia. But I realize its not.
It's not part of me anymore.
It's so wierd to think that.
Yet, its sort of amazing.

I know what you mean. I feel that way when it comes to getting help. Like I want the support but then again I don't because I'm afraid.

I was inpatient recently on a psych unit watiting for a bed on the ed unit... When people found out I was their for an ed.. everyone was like I have an ed.. I am going to do this and I am going to do that and it just really pissed me off because I knew if I were to do it that I would be in so much trouble... because everyone knew about my ed.. but yet know one knew about theirs... but to be honest.. I think ed was in a lot of their heads if you know what I mean... As horrible as that sounds... But yes i felt like anorexia is my department and I didnt want anyone trapsing into my territory...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
