There were dark days when I thought it would be easier just to live on
cucumbers and water and let the rest of the world slip away. When the only
things that mattered were the numbers on the scale and the diminishing
portions on my plate. No one warns you how hard recovery is, no one tells
you that it is a constant battle between the voice whispering "Eating is
good!" and the voice screaming "You're going to get fat! You're evil and
weak!"
BUT IT IS WORTH IT!!!
I had forgotten how good Thanksgiving dinner can taste, I had forgotten how
much fun it can be to share a slice of cake with my girlfriends. I didn't
believe that I would ever be able to buy cookies just because I like the
taste, and look in the mirror and say "Wow, I'm cute!"
IT IS SO WORTH IT!
I don't spend days dreading my friends' potluck dinners. I don't have to
make excuses for running to the washroom after every meal. I actually feel
hunger again, and I savour the feeling of being comfortably full and
satisfied after a meal. I have the energy to go out dancing and hiking and
to run with my dog in the park. I no longer interpret every persons' words
as comments about my weight.
IT IS WORTH IT!
To those of you who are fighting this, don't give up! Choose life, choose
health, and you won't regret it!
