And will I ever, ever feel the desire to stop losing weight and be happy with what I look like?

" I hope you will become happy with yourself.........It is hard when you keep telling yourself to loose weight....loose more....loose a little more. It is horrible the things we do to ourselves.
For me...I had to decide enough was...enough. I wasn't going to let my ED controll me, I was going to controll it. You have to fight against the voices. If you need help.......I am here for you! "

" the thing is this....when you go to treatment they teach you how to see yourself as you really are. they know how our minds work and they know the tricks to get you to see yourself as others do....it doesnt happen overnight, but it can happen. it happened for me and it can happen for you. trust in others to help you and trust in yourself, and you can get better, you really can!!!!

" As long as you are with ED you will never be thin enough until you die. That's sounds pretty harsh but it's the truth. So you need to start fighting one day at a time, or one meal at a time. "
