    I love “So what you think you can dance” as well, and Mia Michaels rocks! The addiction piece was wonderful! Tice’s breast cancer piece was also very well done. Both showed great emotions, and the dancers evoked the characters so well. The new season starts on Wed.!

    I LOVED that piece! I had chills watching it and have watched it quite a few times since then online. I’m going to see the tour live next month and reallllly hope they do that one again. It was absolutely perfect in portraying addiction. So great.

    Can’t wait for this Wednesday!!!! Wooo!!!!

    Agreed! I look back almost fondly as well, and like you, in the next second I look forward to the great dinner I’m making. I’m not sure I want to forget anything, because remembering what I went through keeps me from going back there. It’s a necessity for maintaining my recovery.

    Like you, I was always “the skinny girl.” I always thought it was a bad thing until I was 16 or so, and a friend of mine became OBSESSED with my weight. I started to see it as something special. That’s when I developed anorexia. Of course, my development of anorexia was much more complex than just that, but it is interesting nonetheless. I find it funny that I’ve spent so many years controlling my food to be small when my normal size is small. My therapist says I’m like a zebra fighting to keep her stripes. Anyway, what I’ve noticed is that I’m afraid of gaining weight because I assume that gaining weight means I’ll be this awesome, better, recovered person. The truth is that gaining these last 10 lbs won’t make me much different, really. Healthier? Yeah, probably. Completely changed mentally? Not really. I’ve always been shy and introverted and cautious and anxious, even way more before anorexia. It’s sad for me to realize that changing my weight won’t change *me.* I think that’s why I’ve resisted gaining the last few pounds for so long. There won’t be any magical occurrence. I’ll still be me…but, I’m starting to realize that’s more than OK.

    I totally feel the same way but for me the disorder is OCD. I always look at people and wonder who has struggled, who hasn’t, why or why not, their background, history, problems and on and on. I, like you, am addicted to psychology and analyzation of others.

    Hi Emmy, I just want to encourage you. Your blog inspires, and helps me in my recovery. You are so real, and I can identify with you. As for ideas about where to take your blog, I think I’d like to know how you overcome your day-to-day struggles more, your hopes for the future and how you are pushing through the ED.

    But you’re doing an awesome job. I feel like I can make it through this ED, and that recovery is possible. It’s wonderful!

  17. Emmy said:

    Thank you, Martine. I’m so glad to hear that my blog has been helpful to you. I hope I can continue to have that effect even though my life is no longer constant revelations on why I should work towards becoming healthier every day, haha. Thanks for your comment :)

    Just writing what you wrote is so inspiring. You’re words help us to see that wherever life takes you must have the courage to go with that flow. Sharing that experience with everyone allows us to see that it’s a natural and safe. xo

  19. Eva said:

    Oct 17, 09 at 12:02 pm

    I agree with Martine, your blog has helped me alot through my own recovery. How you are getting on with daily life now and how life presents its challenges to you now would be helpful to hear about. what problems still face you and how you overcome them could still help us to see that there is life beyond ED. Also I have to say thank you for all your writing so far, they have been so helpful

    I agree. I was horribly out of shape last year. I was still considered “thin” but there is a difference between “thin” and “fit” which has little to do with weight. I was a very unhealthy relatively (compared to most women I knew) thin person, yet, I wasn’t fit at all. I slowly became active, I began with walking a mile at a time. Its still work, but becoming “fit” is one of the best things that I’ve ever done, it just “feels” different from being just thin. My asthma has improved greatly and my energy levels have increased and I’ve always been a very un-energetic person.

    I echo the comments above, I have found your blog hugely inspiring and would regret seeing it go away. In my recovery, one of the hardest parts has been imagining what life is like without an ED in control of everything. Really, it has been so hard to envision what that’s like, and I am always infinitely curious to hear about post-ED life from people who are all/mostly recovered. Even if you’re not talking about anything to do with food and EDs, I think that just talking about your daily life could be a beautiful example of how moving on and moving up is really possible.

    From what the other commenters are saying, maybe you should write more about day-to-day things. I know there are things that come up in my daily life that make me wonder how I would have handled it when I was in my ED, and I handle it differently now that I’m in recovery. I don’t know if that makes sense to you. I actually think to blog about those things but usually am too busy and I forget lol. But yeah, I’m sure there are things you face that you know would have affected you differently back then. And I think that’s what people that are still struggling need to hear about.
    Love you <3

    I really appreciate all of your feedback. It’s so helpful to see that I’m still having an effect. I will do my best to blog more about day-to-day stuff, as it clearly is still part of my growth out of an eating disorder.

    Thank you all. And thanks for reading :D

    Can I quote a post in your blog with the link to you?

  27. Eva said:

    Oct 24, 09 at 2:26 pm

    Could not agree with you more. I have to say for myself I have had HUGE, CRAZY problems with this. because i am a very honest person and with ED, being the control freak I am; cannot handle if i tell someone im going to do something, when I have NO intention of doing it. If i say ill do something you can be assured ill do it unless it Genuinely slipped my mind, or became UN do able (or previously if behaviours kicked in). SO for a long long time I had great difficulty understanding this in others (you know with the whole narrow minded prespective an ED sufferer has – I thought the whole world thought the way I did!)

    So yeah pretty much this bugs me big time, glad to see im not the only one.

    Thanks Emmy

    I agree with this post so much, knowing full well that I am just as guilty as the next person of doing this (generally speaking, not so much about diets). Even so, I am weary of people’s words as well.

    I empathize, which is why I ultimately stopped posting new content on Disordered Times. It’s your blog, Emmy — you get to make it whatever you want. Whatever you choose, you have an audience. :)

    Yes, it will be worth it. I am hoping blogs like yours and mine will show people it is worth it, that there is life AFTER an eating disorder, and that it is better than we could have ever imagined.
