Subject: Re: major mia - apology Author: Shani [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11:42:08 03/28/05 Mon In reply to: fran 's message, "Re: major mia - apology" on 09:04:15 03/28/05 Mon First of all, let me say that I am not meaning in anyway to sound pompous or anything. I reread this before posting and thought it might sound that way since you can't read my expressions or anything...sorry if it seems that way to anyone... Fran, I, for one, know that you were not trying to belittle the issues that come with being ana and that you weren't wishing that you could be ana. So there is no need to feel bad at all for your post. It was honest and I appreciate that. I'm sure that others do too. I have dabbled with being mia and can kind of empathize with you. I would feel disgusted with myself after eating and purging too. But you know, tomorrow is another day And even though it seems like it’s an all-encompassing problem, it’s something that you have to deal with on a daily basis. Don’t think about what you did yesterday or what you are going to do tomorrow, concentrate on making small steps today. I know that personally, if I feel that I need to punish myself after purging, then I won’t eat and it leads to a bad cycle. I was also thinking about what you said about not being thin. I’m not the thinnest person either (not even “just saying” that) but that doesn’t mean anything. I think almost everyone will say that their ed was brought on and maintained by more than the thought of being fat. It’s one of those things on the outside…a byproduct that becomes addictive, but not the source. So don’t ever think that we are all sitting out here judging you for not being bone-thin, because I (and others) are not. We’re all in this together. So when you need support or need to vent, let us know. We can’t do much but we can listen and empathize with you. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
