If you think blogging is helping you then by all means keep going - I think it's something that's very hard for ppl to truly understand unless they've experienced the community themselves - I think maybe your Mum might come around if she reads your blog and realises how much you challenge yourself and that you get positive, not negative, feedback? <3 love you loads and keep going, you're so strong and brave :)Jemimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837521410220671366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578314299150687318.post-90016461980855474982009-02-06T17:01:00.000-05:002009-02-06T17:01:00.000-05:00Aw girl, I definitely think this is helping you. I...Aw girl, I definitely think this is helping you. It gives you a healthy environment to vent and to help you along your way to recovery. There are so many positive thinkers in this community. I have seen some VERY negative online environments like pro-anorexia websites and things like that that are absolutely HORRIBLE, and I think that those types of blogs would be of concern, but this is a really POSITIVE thing. But ultimately, you should do what's best for you in your recovery. I hope you stick around, I love reading your posts :-) Have a great weekend girlie <3Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242607759249656119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578314299150687318.post-44735670515470380502009-02-06T12:38:00.000-05:002009-02-06T12:38:00.000-05:00I always like reading your blog, so I hope you don...I always like reading your blog, so I hope you don't have to stop.<BR/>But good job on telling people about it.

Just from reading your blog I feel inspired to push further ahead in my recovery because I see all of the great gains that you have made, and how you have been able to conquer your fears. I can also tell that blogging has helped you in your recovery as well.<BR/> <BR/>Sometimes I think that I only want to recover to "fit in" I guess, or just because I'm inspired, but I think I am working through that. True, I am inspired but I also want to learn to love myself and just live life again and enjoy eating new foods.<BR/><BR/>I first started my blog as an outlet for writing because I used to be such a great writer and I was just dying to write something again. And then I found you guys which led me to open up about my ED, something I was very hesitant about doing beforehand. I was only going to briefly hint at it, if I was ever going to talk about it. <BR/><BR/>But I'm glad that I found this blogging community, because I get really good support and it helps me to recognize when my ED is trying to lead me astray.<BR/><BR/>I must admit though I am a bit obsessed with it lately, and I love getting comments. This is probably because I am lonely and hoping to make some friends again. Weird, but sometimes I even find myself thinking about what to write during the day. haha Sometimes I even worry that I am just posting things that will look good or get good responses. eh so confusing..But I think I need to work on living my own life a little bit more. <BR/><BR/>Anyways, just wanted to tell you that I think you are doing really great in your recovery and thanks for opening up!<BR/>~RainaBreaking Freehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923933143349612219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578314299150687318.post-48407034551985148752009-02-05T23:40:00.001-05:002009-02-05T23:40:00.001-05:00im so proud of you for opening up to your group to...im so proud of you for opening up to your group tonight! no one on my recovery team knows of my food blog (i dont think i have the courage to tell them anyway) but you know what is best for you. recovery is #1, blogging comes second. if that means making the foods you like/enjoy/need/crave or not posting you daily eats then that is what you should do :) i want to see you experience recovery! you deserve it love.<BR/><BR/>sweet dreams <3 <BR/><BR/>p.s your oatmeal looks gorgeousss!brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08055639511199591241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578314299150687318.post-86910030841480935772009-02-05T23:40:00.000-05:002009-02-05T23:40:00.000-05:00Hey! I think it's great you're telling your mom an...Hey! I think it's great you're telling your mom and therapists about the blog. One of the worst parts of ED's is all the secrecy and lying, and I've learned that anything I do, whether ED or not, if I don't think I could tell my mom without upsetting her or being embarrassed about my behavior, I probably shouldn't be doing. So the fact that you were mature about it, have explained your reasons and are even smart enough to question yourself is a really big step. <BR/>I also think the blog can be really beneficial to your recovery as long as you keep it in it's place, obviously real life is far more important. As much as I and everyone else in this community care about you, we just can't replace your in person friends and family. That being said, if there is any blog bullying ever, I know we'll all jump right on that and take care of it, so no worries there :) <BR/>Since ED recovery is not only about food, it's about getting back to living your life, maybe a good idea would be to talk about all the good things that are coming back for you, spend a little time blogging about your food if it was particularly good (and also so we can hold you accountable!) but also talk about ballet, cello, how school is going, if you're making friends, boys ;) etc. <BR/>Ultimately, it's up to you and what you think will be best as far as your recovery, though I'd love to stay in touch either way! your life is #1!<BR/><BR/>ps. since I spoke of holding you accountable, I just thought I should mention that din dins looked a bit small today :\ so this is my friendly shove to have an extra big snack!Gabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01242630899557763671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578314299150687318.post-64221347980689964442009-02-05T22:56:00.000-05:002009-02-05T22:56:00.000-05:00AMAZING oatmeal!

My first blog was a personal/daily life blog, when I told a very few of my friends that I've a blog, they are not supportive at all (even until today) because they think that a blog is for narcissist people, people who don't have things to do and lonely (I guess the same way of saying "getting attention"). Then just until last year, I decided to close my personal blog but then I feel that blog is a place where I can pour my passion and I missed blogging so now, I ended up with having a food blog :)Selbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928176267795475683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578314299150687318.post-29858266766926519522009-02-05T20:32:00.000-05:002009-02-05T20:32:00.000-05:00Hey Kiki!It's great you told people about your blo...Hey Kiki!<BR/>It's great you told people about your blog, and I'm sorry if they seem suspicious of it like it's "feeding" your ED. When I created mine (recently) I was a bit nervous about the people out there, but then I realised only SOMe people comment regularly (you, Shelby, Lauren) and some occasionally... some vot at all! That's ok, I'm just trying to build relationships, and what you said just hit me: will it always be about food/recovery? I guess this will be one TBD questions about our blogs, but so far I am LOVINg it and meeting new peoplez (like U!) who are hearing what I have to say and I'm getting to know because of something we have in common (mainly food and recovery) So it's really up to you, I mean I think it's helped me in many ways but if you think it's occupying your time, all I can say is I'm going to miss you dearly! <BR/>:.( but I understand if that's what's best, and no, I don't plan on blogging my way into collage or even senior year of highschool! =0<BR/>Great eats today, and my all time fav. larabar is PB cookie but that's contaminated so I've been suffering without! :..(<BR/>Oh, and I actually like faux meat but thinking of eating ACTUAL FLESH makes my stomach crawl, despite the poor nutritional value but also the though of what you are contributing to harm the earth and animals!? YUCK! <BR/>P.S. good luck with the duistractions! Sometimes I wonder if I'm obessed with food/baking because of ED or it's really a passion... maybe both? I need to sart enhanccing my passions too! ;)Lacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16356821875475944176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578314299150687318.post-27175729721658827062009-02-05T20:31:00.000-05:002009-02-05T20:31:00.000-05:00I don't think you should stop blogging, but th...I don't think you should stop blogging, but that's my personal opinion!
