okay

i went to the dr's the other day for a yearly exam. they measured me and also took my weight. i stayed the same in height which was good, and im not sure about my weight. she told me what it was this time, but not last time. and for the first time in awhile, i didnt dwell on the number which was muttered from her lips. and im still not. it is the highest which ive been ever, but somehow in some way, im okay with it. im not sure how ive been able to maintain for this long, especially since i drink a lot of fluids and have about one meal a day. but this plan seems to be working for me. and im not dizzy and always on the verge of passing out. so i guess in a way, YEA to me! the thoughts are still there, but i dont act on them nearly as much as what i have in the past. 8 yrs wasted, hopefully i am getting my life back.

i have been trying really hard to at least eat healthy. but i just cant manage to do so. i know for the most part we are all still activly suffering.

do you all try to avoid mirrors/reflections? or do you look at them as much as possible?

I am really not sure what this has to do w/ recovering but i know that taking about my behaviors non food related make me feel better. i dont feel so alone when theres someone there to relate to. please if this is wrong tell me. i dont want any of you to feel upset based on the things you read here.

*I got this letter from one of my biggest supporters. I love her very much...she's always there to listen to me complain. She never forces me to eat, or tries to make me feel bad about my disorder.

This song is called, "I Hate Everything About You."

or as I call it...

A Love Song for a Disease.

...every feeling that i get
But i haven't missed you yet
Every room-mate kept awake
By every silent scream we make
All the feelings that i get
But i still don't miss you yet

Only when i stop to think about it

I hate everything about you
why do i love you
I hate everything about you
why do i love you

I hate everything about you
why do I love you
you hate everything about me
why do you love me...

That's not the entire song. But those are the lines that I think reflect how I feel about this whole situation that we are in.
