Yaaaaay!Thank...I'm so happy you got your period!!!! Yaaaaay!<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for sharing your story. I can relate to the part about legs...my legs were always a touchy subject for me. I thought my thighs were huge and hated how they "spread out" when I sit down. I hardly ever wore shorts and still have issues with them.<BR/><BR/>I think you should definitely tell your parents, or at least your mom. Your family is really your best support system!<BR/><BR/>PS - can I have one of those muffins? ;)Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802894030654900403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847578160696644827.post-23230974199097587222009-03-28T12:30:00.000-04:002009-03-28T12:30:00.000-04:00CONGRATS!!!

It's truly sad that we're exposed to such pressures at such a young age, isn't it? Yet the frustrating part is there's no one thing to blame it on.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it amazing how joining one cozy little internet community can change your life? :) Never, ever ever let ED take you back! ♥Squillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17904419977327630978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847578160696644827.post-69526642806311922742009-03-27T15:23:00.000-04:002009-03-27T15:23:00.000-04:00Congrats on getting your period, girl!

Your body is just thanking you for all the yummy food you're giving it :]<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for sharing your story. Legs have always been the worst for me too, for some reason.. You've gone through a lot and it's so amazing that you've made such a huge turnaround! Don't ever ever EVER let ED convince you that you aren't "worth it" for not being sickly thin again. Without him, you're funny, smart, pretty, witty (rhyme!), passionate, artistic, and a million other things. I don't want to see those things go!<BR/><BR/>Happy Friday! Much loveKikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15217686498751504795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847578160696644827.post-76877344981690414292009-03-26T22:46:00.000-04:002009-03-26T22:46:00.000-04:00FIRST OFF - DAMN YOU FOR MAKING ME WAIT SO LONG! :...FIRST OFF - DAMN YOU FOR MAKING ME WAIT SO LONG! :)<BR/><BR/>SECONDLY - CONGRATS ON GETTING YOUR PERIOD BACK! i know it sucks, but it is such a relief to know that you must be doing something right for your body again.<BR/><BR/>And third - i know how hard it is to initially tell someone about your struggles. you dont want to fess up to everything because you're embarassed and ashamed - so shouldnt it make us want to stop doing these things because some of the habits we have are so disgusting and unnormal? of course not. haha.<BR/><BR/>7th grade was a badddd, awkward time for pretty much every girl. the 'ugly stage,' if you will. i went through it..and i did have pictures to prove it, but i threw them all away because i was SO disgusted with myself. <BR/><BR/>i am the exact same way girl. my legs triggered every single ED related thought i had. my stomach had alot to do with it too, but if my thighs touched even a tiny bit, it would send me into tears. even now, i concentrate mostly on my legs and thighs. how fat my thighs look that day will probably determine if i will wear pants or shorts to the gym. i am learning to take smarter steps when it comes to focusing on my legs though - like for instance, im starting to take pride in how muscular my calves are becoming and how shaped my archilles tendons are (okay, im obsessed with those little guys lol)<BR/><BR/>but believe me girl, you can be 200 pounds or 80 pounds, and when you sit down, your thighs will ALWAYS look big. there's no changing that.<BR/><BR/>im glad you decided to open up to us sweetie. it helps to get all of that off your chest and im so glad you are learning to recover. good luck telling your mom :)Baylee♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/04167440725509332964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847578160696644827.post-35534568529366888592009-03-26T07:39:00.000-04:002009-03-26T07:39:00.000-04:00YOUGOTITYOUGOTITYOUGOTEEEEET!*runs around in circl...YOUGOTITYOUGOTITYOUGOTEEEEET!<BR/>*runs around in circles and crashes into wall*<BR/>Your body is healthier! Your body is working and thanking you. =) Congratulations muffin! The pain should hopefully subside gradually each day.<BR/>And your story was heartbreaking.<BR/>I can relate..to the legs thing especially, the comparing, the fears that nobody will "like" us..god, and so on and so forth.<BR/>You have come such a long way from that girl, and that's truly amazing. Keep it up. You're an inspiration. =)Tiny Tina.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00064969971197116193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847578160696644827.post-83072633706913836322009-03-25T23:57:00.000-04:002009-03-25T23:57:00.000-04:00Em! Thanks so much for sharing a bit of your story...Em! <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for sharing a bit of your story. It's always nice to learn about my favorite bloggettes (: I've been contemplating sharing MY story too, but...eh...I dunno if I'm ready. It's so painful.<BR/><BR/>I REALLY relate to you about the leg thing - gosh, even now, when I look at my legs in the mirror, I want to cry. I legit want to cry. So, I just avoid it. <BR/><BR/>Def tell your mom. I think it will hurt to know how sad her daughter was, but she needs to know. It's always good to have a shoulder to cry on, and if she can be there for you, then by all means go for it.<BR/><BR/><3<BR/><BR/>Neeways, love. 1. CONGRATS ON YOUR PERIOD! I can't wait 'til I get mine (only other ED patients and those fearing a pregnancy would understand), 2. that pizza looks PHENOMENAL. omg. Please send some mah way, like. now. 3. cute cows! <BR/><BR/>Have a great night love <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
