Good Morning All!


I noticed that we have a lot of new members, some old-timers have come back, and some people struggling with issues. Please take a few minutes to check in with your name, your age (if you don't mind), and how you are feeling today. Next list 5 things you are grateful for, even if you are having a bad day. I'll go first:


Kristina    - 38 years old this past May        -feeling pretty good and glad it's Friday


Things I am grateful for:


1. God in my life


2. My husband


3. Our dogs, house, jobs


4. My recovery and healing from other problems (hormonal, digestive, etc.) through God


5. My Mom


Try to have a good weekend and don't let ED get to you. Life is too short to waste it on ED - I know, easier said than done. Just remember, recovery IS possible so don't loose sight of that.

Love & hugs, Kristina

Hi, I'm Carrie and I'm 28. Been battling food "issues" my whole life, but have suffered from over-exercising and bulimia most recently. I've been in therapy since last May (2003) and think I am far along on the road to recovery. It's been really hard and every day is a fight to make the right choice, especially when I'm around my family (I'm convinced mom has had an e/d since she was a teenager) I am happy for:

1. a husband who tells me I look good despite gaining 15 pounds (and counting)

2. for not feeling like I'm going to black out every time I stand up

3. for having the energy to run again

4. for being "heavy" enough to start trying to get pregnant

5. for not having my hair fall out in clumps anymore.

I realize that all of these are related to my e/d recovery, but I'm cautiously optimistic that I'll continue to have a healthy relationship with my body.

Hi Kristine:

I know I still probably don't spell your name right. How are you? Please let me know. I am doing ok.

Tell me about the purpose driven life and what your doing with that.

Hi Sue,


Well, you almost got it right. It's KristinA instead of KristinE.


Anyway, I had started posting the Purpose Driven Life one chapter a day because several people wanted to particiapte. HOwever, I did not get a response from them when I actually posted the questions. But Michelle just offered to continue and I just noticed she posted days 6 and 7, so I will post my answers/thoughts every day.

Love & hugs, Kristina
