I know it is my own baggage but I have such a hard time trusting anyone. <br /><br />I think you are really fortunate to have a good friend like her. I hope you keep one another strong.<br /><br />xox,<br />AAfricanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04376637152395042588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7350828500904344130.post-77374060455235843522011-04-20T22:00:53.878-05:002011-04-20T22:00:53.878-05:00I want a friend to do this with but I'm afraid...I want a friend to do this with but I'm afraid of exactly what you were talking about. As if having support would take away some of what makes this real to me. I like having a secret, even if it does get a bit heavy to carry around sometimes.Jaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11334050168942123409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7350828500904344130.post-35474930914010000462011-04-20T21:01:56.456-05:002011-04-20T21:01:56.456-05:00I'm glad to hear you beat the purge cycle!

I have a friend like that too and I don't know if I could really be as strong as I need to be if I didn't have her sometimes.Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08798693901958189538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7350828500904344130.post-90860337812508231122011-04-20T19:20:43.391-05:002011-04-20T19:20:43.391-05:00Thanks for your sweet comments on my latest, you m...Thanks for your sweet comments on my latest, you made me well up and I don't cry lol. I bet your hair looks beautiful, I love auburn hair ♥ <br /><br />I'm trying to think of something constructive to say re the last few paragraphs only it's hard because I've kind of been there but it didn't last long and I never had a real life friend with an eating disorder. :/ <br /><br />Sorry this wasn't more helpful :( xxLolitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16562544481375725023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7350828500904344130.post-53431229907916435302011-04-20T19:17:14.328-05:002011-04-20T19:17:14.328-05:00Despite having spent my life hating my body, strug...Despite having spent my life hating my body, struggling with weight, comparing myself to every other girl I saw and am unable to have a healthy attitude towards food, joining blogger has made me question myself a lot too. But what I've come to learn and accept is that "eating disorder" is a very vague, very broad category and that to believe there is one perfect definition, one precise pigeon hole in which you must fit in order to "truly have an ED", is very unrealistic. There are a lot of other disorders that go along with having an eating disorder that adds to the complication. But in the end these labels don't do anything for us. Labels are the means for other people to understand and simplify the truly complicated aspect of being around someone "different". We all have our quirks and I do believe not a single one of us goes through life acting as the text book definition of anything, but we spend a lot of time worrying whether what we're doing would be considered "fucked up" by society's standards anyway. We are human. We are imperfect and unexplainable. We will wander through life doing a lot of things that don't make sense and can't be rationalized. But at the end of the day, we're all a little disordered in some way or another. I say you are incredibly lucky to have someone in the real world who will understand and not judge what you are going through. I would give so much to have that. Embrace her my dear.<br /><br /><3Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667722617668857355noreply@blogger.com
