it's too bad more young girls don't realize what they do in their teens can really harm them later in life....You should consider speaking at schools etc sharing your story - 
I don't think you're a wacko at all - that's a real eating disorder and you were lucky to come thru it alive - you should be proud of yourself !! |
Villette you are such a wonderful person here on YT!!! You always know how to make people feel much better! I was crying having typed that piece feeling like I was sharing too much, but you put it in perspective.
I do not go and talk to young folks because I am still sort of new to my recovery, and I have had a lot of set backs...BUT through this all one thing I have really learned is the power of a yorkie...Bruce was given to me when I was going through extreme heartache and as a result falling back on old unhealthy ways hoping he would take the focus off of me...AND HE HELPED!!! He has always been so sensitive, and after I had him if I tried to "purge" he was at my heals and would just come lay his head on my knee...So now Sundays he visits the girls at a local hospitals eating disorders unit where I once resided, during their dinner time, and apparently getting the focus of eating has helped a few of them...So that I am happy to share, Bruce I really credit with saving my life, because of him I had a new focus, I finished law school, etc. ANIMALS and especially Yorkies are miracles!
