I just wanted to tell you a little bit about my story. I read a book when I was about 9, the same age when I started to think I was too fat and went on a diet. I was always under weight. The book was about a girl in her early teens that developped anorexia. The authors point was to teach girls like me how dangerous it was. I read the book at least 6 times in my adolescence. Each time I would remind myself that I was too fat and I should diet, but not to the point of going to the hospital. I still worry about being fat, but rarely do anything stupid. I threw up once when I was 17 and stopped eating meals (I just snacked) for about 36 hours in the winter. I learned my lesson as it rendered me incapable of actual thought. I just wanted to let you know that sometimes well intentionned books can go the other way, depending on how the reader interprets them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27277534.post-1148568240140015392006-05-25T10:44:00.000-04:002006-05-25T10:44:00.000-04:00Then it could be said that "every woman has bulimi...Then it could be said that "every woman has bulimia"! --Most women I know do this kind of thing....I.e., most of them say stuff like, "I had that piece of chocolate--I'll be 'good' tomorrow." And, they feel guilty, etc..<BR/><BR/>I struggled with all those types of bulimia (except laxatives--never did that) for years and years. I have a child now, and refuse to go there now. It's so important to be healthy for your child (if not for yourself!), and to set a good example!Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07516203764767040649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27277534.post-1148567485572343182006-05-25T10:31:00.000-04:002006-05-25T10:31:00.000-04:00Again- YIKES!

I "recovered" from bulimia 13 years ago, but am constantly propelled into searching for more truth, more clarity in the regard of body image and western culture. I dream of running seminars, or writing helpful tidbits, but often feel "too small" or "too big" to be much use in that regard. This in turn drives me further to seeking truth and resolution to the beliefs that we have attached to our body shapes and sizes. I will instantly add you to my "favorites".<BR/>thank you<BR/>(and when I saw Geneen Roth on your sidebar, I nearly stopped breathing. She saved my life.)joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269164806627544548noreply@blogger.com
