Positive - feel like I am beginning to turn a corner
MyRain posted:
I honestly don't know what the cause is but I have decided that I would rather be healthy than have an Eating Disorder.
That is not to say that I won't still struggle down the road.
But I can say that up until this point I was not decided in my mind what I wanted more - health or what the ED provided for me.

hello, M --
this is such good news!
once you know something, you can't un-know it. why don't you print out this thread, or at least your original post in it, and put it somewhere you can see it a lot, just to remind yourself that you've made this decision?
this is a terrific development for you, and i am so glad of it.

Thanks SM. Yes, I don't doubt that I will need a reminder or two somewhere down the road. You're right about not being able to un-know it. I have made a line in the sand.
Hope you're getting some energy back. Ride in your convertible for me (I don't mind messed up hair!)
