I'm sorry that I've been away for a few days. I've been busy with school, work, riding, and my boyfriend. Things are still about the same with me. I've been trying to make small steps and incorporate some of your suggestions into my life. The main thing I've been working on lately is to remind myself that I don't have to look a certain way. I can be fine just the way I am. I don't need to change to fit into a certain ideal. I have also been trying to remind myself that it's okay to eat and be hungry. I still have trouble admitting that I am hungry sometimes and that I need to eat. It's a daily struggle, but I feel like I've made at least a little progress.

That's awesome! Right now I'm trying to not let my eating disorder control my life. I'm just fine if I'm eating foods that I know what the calories are in it but if I go to I friends b-day party and eat cake I freak out! I won't let myself eat it if I don't know what is in it. But I did eat a piece of cake this weekend. It scared me. I wish that it didn't. I wish that I could just enjoy life.

I know what you mean. I have a lot of trouble eating things that I don't know the calorie content of, too. It scares me a lot, too. There are some foods that I just can't eat. I hope that someday, I will be able to. Congratulations on eating the piece of cake. That is a big step, and I'm really proud of you. I admire your courage, and it gives me strength to hear about your progress.
