Hey guys,
I was looking for some info on how to survive the holidays when you are trying to recover from an eating disorder. Because as anyone who has ever been sic knows, the holidays, although they are great and magical, are sooo much about food and that can be extremely triggering. SO I found some forums where people go on and talk about their struggles and experiences throughout the holidays in case anyone is interested in reading them or joining one.

Hope this can be of use to someone!
Happy Holidays!

Hola!
So I don't think anyone even reads this anymore which makes me sad...so I don't know what to write about. Because I would've preferred for convos to spring up and new ones to start off of feedback. Anyone have any ideas on anything they'd like to know that has anything to do with eating disorders?
Take care!
Erika

Hey guys,
Jut wanted to share a song that I think does a good job of telling the inside story of suffering with an eating disorder. It's really sad but it's all true. Here are the lyrics:

I told another lie today
And I got through this day
No one saw through my games
I know the right words to say
Like "I don't feel well"
"I ate before I came"

Then someone tells me how good I look
and for a moment
For a moment I am happy
But when I'm alone
No one hears me cry

I need you to know
I'm not through the night
Some days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light
I need you to know
That we'll be okay
Together we can make it through another day

I don't know the first time I felt unbeautiful
The day I chose not to eat
What I do know is how I changed my life forever
I know I should know better
There are days when I'm okay
And for a moment
For a moment I find hope
But there are days when I'm not okay
And I need your help
So I'm letting go

I need you to know
I'm not through the night
Some days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light
I need you to know
That we'll be okay
Together we can make it through another day

You should know you're not on your own
These secrets are walls that keep us alone
I don't know when but I know now
Together we'll make it through somehow
Together we'll make it through somehow

I need you to know
I'm not through the night
Some days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light
I need you to know
That we'll be okay
Together we can make it through another day
