i'm trying..but it's hard, it's really hard. i hadn't binged-purged for months and everything was okay. i was more confident and loved myself i was happy about how i looked and i have a boyfriend who really cares about me. I haven't told him that i have a problem.
but i hate these frickin' holidays. it's hard and i, i just couldn't control myself. today I relapsed. I hope it was just one time thing. i can't go down that circle again.
anyway. Happy Holidays to you all and i hope you can be strong
i'm trying, i hope i will be able to defeat ED one say.. but ED is just.. idk how to live without it. it's hard, and i think i speak for all people with ED's when i say we treat ED not like a friend but like a guardian, hugging it for protection, without ED (in the beginning) it's.. horrifying, but when u get there. u r... free..
My therapist gave me the book two weeks ago and finished it really fast. I felt as if Jenni had gotten into my brain and wrote the book based off of my thoughts. Really good book, however, I felt that it was a bit redundant. I'm glad that "divorcing" ED worked for her, I hope I can take some of what I learned back with me on my road to recovery. Overall, i would recommend it. Quick read, and good exercises are included.
@LifeBeingLived please do. no way to know how it'll go until you do it. it was hard for me at first just because it was helpful, and I wasn't ready for help...
This song and her book are amazing. I have been struggling with this monster for 13 years and every time I have a relapse big or small I pick up this book and remember I have a chance. She has become my angel. I just ordered her new book today and I can't wait to get it. Someday I believe I will know a life without ed just like jenni does but with a lot of hard work, faith, and determination. Even if you end up in rehab you still have a chance just keep fighting at least I do!!!
I remember when my therapist gave me her book about 2 years ago it gave me hope but not enough =/ I still ended up in rehab for my ED but now im doing a lil better, but its still hard
I'm reading the book right now. I have recovered and relapsed over and over for the last 10 years. This is the first time I am reading the book. Its good... a little too peppy overly positive for my palate (get the pun?) but its really interesting. However, aside from being severely eating disordered I am also a musician.. this song was horrible. it made me laugh though so I suppose thats good!
I feel like a fraud for saying this, but I believe that recovery is desireable and worthwhile... I just think this song and Jenny's book suck. "I called the monster Ed, he so controlled my head?" Thanks for trivializing my disease, Jenno.
@VeritasQuo Woh, hang on a minute. She's talking about her own experience with ED and the way she describes it is the way she experienced it. She's not trying to be generalisable when she's describing HER struggle. If you don't like it - don't listen.
I love this!!
And i really do think that we can ALL do this :)
... No matter what ED says.
