List something you've accomplished in your life that took planning and steady (or not) work toward.  Was it a rocky road?  Was it smooth?  What made it worth it all?


Looking forward to your answers :)

Edited to add the *"TRIGGERS"* thing...sorry bout that didnt see that till now!

Being a mom. I was not planning on having kids for another few years when I got pregnant. At the time I was just under 90 lbs and taking diet pills all the time, as well as some drug use. Quiting that wasnt that hard. I fell in love with my baby the moment I found out she was there, and never took another diet pill the whole pregnancy, or drank. I smoked pot now and then to get myself to eat...but I figured a couple hits of weed was less harmfull than not eating for a few days (but thats my opinion, I realize many would disagree) Any way, It was a long road, never thought I could be as good of a mom as I am, and I have never been happier...wouldnt give up my Lily baby for anything :o)

Nothing like a child to change your life!

Opening up and sharing like that is a step toward health.

Thanks :o)

I do need to get into the doctor. I just dont want to I guess, I say Im going to call today then put it off and put it off till its too late, then do it over again. I dont know why this seems so hard for me. Im bad about putting alot of stuff off though. I cant even imagine haveing to be away from Lily like that though. I would get so depressed.

Im not seeing anybody about it yet. I figured Id set that up when I went to the apt that I needed to make a few weeks ago! I had a counselor in high school who specialized in ED, although I never talked to her about mine, just my other troubles (ironic eh?) I would love to go see her again but she isnt practicing at the moment. The hospital I have to go to with my Ins. doesnt have any who specialize in it, so Im not sure who I really want to see.

When I saw my therapist (I'm looking for a new one as she moved), we never talked about food.

I am in the process now, but it's slow work figuring everything out and then reconfiguring life to these changes! Plus I've got several things to juggle right now...

Writing my books. I've started and will do more. The rocks on the road have been my lack of faith in myself, and my ED taking over my life. The ED is under control. I'm following my food plan, and I'm having faith I can do this and am just writing because I dare to dream that this can be my life. I can have the life of a writer. The one I hoped and dreamed for.
In Love and Peace, Anna
