Words for thought...

"There are people on shore who see you struggle and yell, "let go of the log!" But you are unable to do so because you have no confidence in your ability to make it to shore. To recover from disordered eating requires the development of whatever skills are necessary to replace the function of the log."
--Like my eating disorder, i don't let go of it because i am afraid of what will happen. it is my safety net. it is what keeps me floating. if i let go, then i may sink in the water. i am afraid of not being cared for, that iw ill be forgotten. that i won't be able to handle myself without attention and care.
