When I was in elementary school, I had an American Girl Book that was a pre-teens guide to the female body.  You know the kind.  It’s the one that makes your inner 12 year old cringe with embarrassment because it talks about all the crazy stuff that’s going to start happening to you as you [...]

The Myth of “Not Sick Enough” (a NEDA week post)

February 26, 2013

By a landslide, the most popular post I’ve ever written is What Nobody Tells You About an Eating Disorder. I remember when I wrote it last year I had kind of let NEDA week slip by me.  I guess that’s what happens when you’re busy writing a thesis and enjoying life outside of an eating [...]

The Slippery Slope

September 2, 2012

I can’t believe it’s already my second Sunday back in Colorado.  This week has been chaotic, to say the least, but thankfully it has been a little less emotionally chaotic than the past month.  My mom is recovering from foot surgery and subsequently is still in a cast and on crutches, which left the housework [...]

Recollections of July’s Past and Present

July 2, 2012

I have to say that as the 4th of July approaches, I have mixed feelings.  Not because of a lack of patriotism, but because I haven’t celebrated this holiday since 2009.  The summer of 2010 I was in France doing this… Drinking wine and eating baguettes at 7:30 am.  I had woken up at 4:45 [...]

Borderline Weekend

June 4, 2012

I have to say that I am actually SO glad that it’s Monday.  Weekends, for whatever reason, happen to be EXTREMELY difficult on me.  I don’t know what the difference is because it’s not like my weekends are that different from my weekdays, but I have been experiencing some severe “BPD episodes” the past several [...]

Love My Body Vision Board

May 11, 2012

My giant vision board kind of turned out to be a mental disaster for me. I was really frustrated that it wasn’t “looking right” and that it was taking “too long.”  When I started it, I was still working on my thesis and that just took up most of my mind and thoughts and I [...]

The Recovery Body Part 1: Beginning to Accept Your Body

May 3, 2012

(image source) Today was a good day.  In fact, it may have even been a great day but there was nothing extraordinary about it, which is the cool thing.  That probably makes no sense but let me explain.  In the depths of my depression and eating disorder, something really super amazing had to happen for [...]
