Although I feel that I am in "remission" from this disease, I will also have that voice in the back of my head. I think if I would not have had children, I would not be so deliberate in trying to care for myself and project a positive body image even though it goes against the way my brain thinks. Excellent post! I have struggled with this my entire life. Although I feel that I am in "remission" from this disease, I will also have that voice in the back of my head.

Excellent post!

I have been taking a medication that makes me eat more. Especially at night. I often wish I could unzip my fat suit and walk out thin like I was :)~ I know it will come off eventually... This has caused me to be a lot more simpathetic to people who struggle to lose weight... I am glad you are talking about it... In the last year I have gained over 30 pounds.

I too struggled for years with an eating disorder and have talked a bit about it on my blog, though it's not easy to think back on those days. Sometimes I think I am better, but I know that I probably place too much emphasis on how I look. I eat healthy, I exercise and am blessed with superb jeans and am often told to eat a Big Mac. I am who I am and I think because of my past, those who know about what I went through often still think I struggle with it. It's a hard demon to eliminate altogether, but with a goal of health in mind and a strong body, it can be overcome. I think the best thing that happened to me was having a daughter who I don't want to ever feel the things I did that made me go through that. I can guide her and teach her inner beauty each day and hopefully she'll see that self esteem and image are more than size. Health is about more than a number on a scale.
