takinglittlesteps asked: Just read your posts- I am so proud of you for telling your mom. From experience, telling parents is the most difficult part of the process, but a very, very necessary element. They'll take it hard, be upset that their child had to go through this, but their love usually does reign over all. Best of luck <3

linesofdietcoke asked: FWIW, I would recommend telling your mom the truth. It has been my experience that even little secrets keep up sick and I can tell you feel guilt about lying to your mom. You are sober now, and that is what counts, she will be proud of you either way, and maybe she will even see you are working a strong program if you come out with the truth.

REMEMBER:
to-love-ones-self:
“Happiness is a journey, not a destination.” You have to pick up your feet and move, You have to do the foot work. You cant expect for everything to be okay when you are just sitting there waiting for a miracle. You are the miracle & you have to make it happen. GET UP AND MOVE. (I promise, it’s worth it.)

liberez-vous:
alright, so i’m going to share this poem thing i wrote for english. it has to do with my ED & it’s kind of inspired by marya hornbacher and a quote from wasted.
you step into the looking glass. you fall into a lifeless world. right is wrong and wrong is normality. mirrors and math-your mind. escaping it is impossible, you wouldn’t want to even if you could.
