Tonight there was a social gathering at my mother's house (where I am currently staying). Several members of her husband's family attended, one of them being a 14 yr old girl. She is smart, pretty, failing school, and too darn skinny. I just feel bad for her~ I wanted to pull her aside and say "Don't ruin your life. Please go to school. And for God sakes eat!!!". But I didn't. She said her 15th birthday is coming up, and I told her not to get in a car with a drunk driver. I did encourage her to eat~ and as she was leaving I reminded her again.
Then I realized, what kind of an example am I??? A battle with ED has gone on in me over 20 years, once causing me to be hospitalized. This week I almost fainted a couple times. This morning I made myself walk over a mile without eating breakfast. I have lost weight again the last few weeks. She and her friend were watching me eat "dinner" which for me consisted of a glop of potatoes in the middle of my plate, even though there was a variety of food available.
*sigh*


Do you think that

Diana,
I agree, it is easier to feel compasion toward others, and I should feel it toward myself as well.
