Thirty Five
Thirty five+ years
of fighting an ED
Called bulimia
is far from easy
'cause healing
is not linear it's
setbacks falling
down & crawling
back up starting
over at point 0
the holistic work
i am doing with S
causes changes
slowly over time
going to the gym
and working out is
a mood boost yet
still didn't suffice
added microdoses
Truffles to the mix
it certainly asks for
some heavy artillery
this fucking ED of mine

Life isn’t linear.
For every two steps forward there’s one step back, but it’s still progress.
Keep the faith, girl.
You got this💕

One of the biggest steps anyone faces with any type of addiction is open admission! Once you openly admit you allow room for Love to take the place of secret shame. When we self-isolate, we cut off opportunities to walk through newly opened doors. I am proud of you for being who you are. You never know how much it helps someone who may never let you know but becomes better! 💕

That's one of the reasons I write and post writes about my eating disorder: so people who struggle with it too feel less alone, perhaps find help and get better. Thanks heaps for your heartwarming comment and your wise words, they mean a lot to me. I appreciate you 💕

It was certainly a long time. Too long, but many small steps make one big step. Therapy never helped much or change much, so I'm trying different means now, means that fit me better.
Thanks heaps for your comment and for wishing me wel, I really appreciate you :-)

I've never measured my neck before, I must confess. Other things maybe but not that. I don't really know what to say that hasn't already been said by others. Only one thought came to mind... at least you're writing about it. I like the pictures you've been putting out lately. I think they're sexy. 😊

Me neither, it's a way to express myself and my struggles artistically. Photography and poetry are a great outlet for that. Thanks heaps for your smile-inducing comment, I appreciate you :-)

Brilliantly written, Duende. That's about the same amount of years I've been fighting alcohol addiction. It's a one day at a time kinda process for sure. Sending positive vibes your way. Oh, I almost forgot, Into the list it goes. Appreciate you.

Alcohol addiction is a bitch too and I'm sorry to hear you're battling with it for such a long time. I have the feeling we're about the same age (I'm from '75) It's indeed a one one day at a time process. Thanks heaps for your comment, the positive vibes and reading list. It's an honor.
Sending you positive vibes too, that one day we may beat it. I appreciate you 🙏🏻

I love you....not in any romantic way....just because you need lots of loving....I hope you get enough.
Be strong, be weak, be whatever you have to be to ease your suffering.

There is no body standard to force yourself into. Acceptance may be tough as hell, but less stress is crucial. Be healthy to be well. And vice versa. We are only vessels for our spirits. And that inside stuff is what's universally beautiful. Our light starts on the inside, then out.
So shine.
So shine.

You are so right. However, eating disorders have nothing to do with body standards, looks or food, it's about control. With the measuring tape I tried to express the hold it has on me, the vicious cycle, that it's choking me. Thanks heaps for your visit & comment, I appreciate it 🙏🏻
