"You never come back, not all the way. Always there is an odd distance between you and the people you love and the people you meet, a barrier thin as the glass of a mirror, you never come all the way out of the mirror; you stand, for the rest of your life, with one foot in this world and one in another, where everything is upside down and backward and sad."
Marya Hornbacher (Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia)

And so we begin... again...

My original blog which I still love and write on is no longer safe for all my honest thoughts.  I guess it really never was.  I started writing it when I was in treatment last for my ED and after much pushing from my team, I shared it with many of my closest friends.  And there in lies the problem.  If I'm too honest, they get freaked out.  I cannot handle one more person worrying about me or treating my like I'm broken.  Especially when I don't believe there is anything wrong with me.

I will continue to write on the other because there are many things I don't mind sharing with everyone.

I made a new facebook page recently under the same identity that I write my blogs.  All my friends on it struggle with/embrace ED.  I know that my friends and family would be incredibly upset, hurt, and disheartened to know that I did this.  They will never understand so many things about me.  I need to know that I am not alone.  I need to know that the way I think is actually pretty common.  I need to lose weight to stay sane and I need inspiration.  I've always relied on literature for this, but real people are so much better.

The simple truth is that I don't think the way I live is wrong and I never have despite what I might say to make 'things' better.  I don't like the purging, but it's a necessary evil at times of weakness so I won't give it up for good.  And I just will never eat the way a dietician expects me to.

I'm at 104 today and I ate almost 500 calories which was 100 more than I was suppose to.  I started the ABC diet this week.  It is a lot harder than I thought it would be.  It would be pretty easy if I didn't work or have a soial life.   This first 50 day period I'm going to do the best I can to follow it.  The second time around I know it will be easier.  I'm just got to drop the weight I've gained.
