New group for artistic expression and recovery

This looks like an interesting new endeavor. I will be following it...

Loving

Being able to love again- is a greater step than I ever imagined it would be for me. Because loving myself, the person inside of me as well as the intimate body outside, trusting myself, my instincts, the man and his words, and accepting that I was indeed "good enough", were such huge leaps of faith....and required baby steps day after day... and the rewards of this love... seem endless.

Our relationships, when we are committing patterns of self abuse, can only be twisted or confused. Healthy relationships, like healthy minds and bodies though... are beautiful.

Merry Christmas to my friends.

Yes... a bit mushy isn't it?

Alive

I am grateful to be alive. I am grateful I can eat with joy and live with joy. I think those of us with Ed's understand that it is a slow form of suicide at times. It is a type of suicidal behavior that feels out of our grasp. Deciding you deserve to be alive, that you are worth being alive, and that you need food (and hallelujah fat on your bones!) to be a fully engaged member of society- is what is required to become non-eating-disordered-suicidal.

ALIVE- BE ALIVE. EAT.Live. Laugh. And Love YOURSELF. This holiday season.

wow

I'm pretty fearless now

always a silver lining
