They change us forever. It truly is a blessing, never forget dear one. You are beautiful because of what you have come through. The velveteen rabbit is a gorgeous reminder of becoming beautiful when we are worn with love :-) xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06309815229103285726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372886524197188916.post-36321895524243488752011-03-19T09:34:46.805+00:002011-03-19T09:34:46.805+00:00AWH, such a GREAT post, your writing style sucked ...AWH, such a GREAT post, your writing style sucked me in with the first few words!<br />and you know what?

Eating disorders are a mental illness. No one can understand unless they've been there. They are not about wanting to be better or skinnier or prettier.

Most girls don't talk about it and so no one realizes this is a bigger problem than it is. Most look at you like you are just wanting attention. I have had a few friends who have eating disorders and I can't get anyone close to them in proximity to help them out. It's a lot harder over the phone. :( Thank you again for sharing. Look for my "Project: Chasing Beauty" on facebook. I don't know if you are already a fan. I am on a hiatus right now. But that might help you out. :)Katelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304126130035556586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372886524197188916.post-78546227291952320272010-09-08T17:00:41.910+01:002010-09-08T17:00:41.910+01:00bless, polly.bless, polly.pixiehttp://www.pixiecampbell.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372886524197188916.post-67648519033729211952010-09-08T14:09:44.546+01:002010-09-08T14:09:44.546+01:00huge thanks for all your comments, have made me bl...huge thanks for all your comments, have made me blush slightly :-) <br /><br />@Twig and Toadstool... if we could see ourselves through someone else's eyes that would be great!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06309815229103285726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372886524197188916.post-34447880589921563512010-09-05T03:14:39.252+01:002010-09-05T03:14:39.252+01:00I read this a while back when you first posted and...I read this a while back when you first posted and somehow forgot to post a comment. I just want to say that you are beautiful, this was the first thing that stood out to me when I saw your blog and your photo. You have such a beautiful and kind face. Your spirit shines through, and it is a beautiful one. <br /><br />I was anorexic and bulimic when I was a teenager so I can empathize with your grief. I also gained about sixty pounds when I was pregnant with Luna! Oh, that was hard. But what I'm learning now, and you've seen me discussing some of this on my blog, is that what I need most, what I desire most, is balance, balance in my attitude towards eating, that is. I did my yeast, sugar, and gluten detox for a couple of weeks, I feel great now, and I'm re-introducing a little bit of fruit. I eat a lot of fat and protein, which is what my body needs, and many veggies. I'm happy this way. I allow myself a treat now and then. I really think it's overdoing it sometimes though that brings me down, because I know I'm overdoing it because of, oh, issues in life, you know, that I don't feel like facing, or restlessness, or something. <br /><br />Anyway, I think it's wonderful that you're discussing it here and wanting change, wanting self-love. You DESERVE it, my dear friend.<br /><br />Much love to you!<br /><br />JulianaJuliana @ Shakti Mamahttp://shaktimama.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372886524197188916.post-86482654183469764372010-09-05T03:03:09.473+01:002010-09-05T03:03:09.473+01:00Hi Polly - Thank you for your lovely comment on my...Hi Polly - Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog.

It takes a lot of courage to enforce boundaries against negative and self sabotaging behavior! <br /><br />This is a really inspiring post. And it comes at a perfect time for me. I'm struggling with many of the same internal issues you are. It's empowering to be able to connect with someone else who is in the process of facing their gremlins head on. Much love to you on the journey. And, I would love to talk with you more about this if you ever want or need to.<br /><br />Brightness and bravery to you ~{Sarah}http://www.vieboheme.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372886524197188916.post-77823170107640111462010-08-30T12:19:19.831+01:002010-08-30T12:19:19.831+01:00I totally agree with the above comment, you are so...I totally agree with the above comment, you are so stunning!

At the moment she is really thin and it really worries me. <br /><br />I keep trying to get her to come to yoga with me as I really truly believe it is the cure for depression, it has been the key to me getting off the medication, and begin to love my self and life again.
