| I deserve better than to be abused by myself. I was looking in the mirror doing some major body bashing when I saw the expression on my face. I wanted to tell that girl, "You deserve better than this". Because I do. We all deserve better than the illness we subject ourselves to. |

Beautifully said! We don't deserve to be tortured.

I love psychology - as a subject

Today I am recovering because in my heart and wise mind (deep to the core of me) I know it's the right thing and I can do it!

| I am recovering today because I want to let my boyfriend take me out to a nice dinner, and have both of us enjoy it! And because I want to be strong enough when this snow Finally melts to go on a loooong bike ride around the lakes. |

Yay psychology is going to be fan-freaking-tastic! It incorperates so much. Philosophy, sociology, biology, I have always loved the whole nature vs nurture thing! Oh and philosophy, religions and cultural influences! Sigh! Can't wait for uni to start! 
I'm recovering because I'd rather gain a little weight at home, than be forced to gain alot of weight in hospital. |

 glad to hear you are excited about it! a fair few in my classes confused psychology with psychiatry and were kinda disappointed that we didn't learn more about disorders and meds.
...
I'm recovering because it's only 21 days, 12 hours and about 24 minutes til my first class for the semester. LOL

Wouldn't mind swapping with them right now. Psychology is so much more interesting than learning about meds and disorders (though I must admit that I still do find that more interesting that most other areas of medicine).
I'm recovering so I can actually do what I want to with my life. |

Because I have to eat to survive. So why not start today? The longer I leave eating the harder recovery will be. If I don't start eating and maintain eating the only path I am walking down is deaths road.

I'm recovering today because anorexics all look the same, act the same and have the same sad pathetic self absorbed neurotic conversations.
I am sooo much more original and interesting than those skeleton clones! I have personality and life and interests outside of calories, food and body image. |

Because I am on my own now... no Jon... single... I have to create a safe place for my own survival... I don't know who I am without Jon... so I am on a mission to find my identity... this is an important step for me.

-I want to be able to say hell yes! when someone offers me a delicious looking pancake instead of feeling sad that I can't allow myself.
-I am so BORED of the never ending food planning and calorie counting. I want to live in the present moment.
-Because I used to have a healthy body and I was beautiful - now I just look ill and sick. Plus my clothes don't fit too well.. I don't feel pretty at all. Starving yourself does not make you beautiful.
-I want to be able to join in with my Chinese housemates New Year celebrations instead of turning down all their home-cooked food. I think I offended them.
-I am more than an eating disorder. I used to get by without it. I was happier without it. |

^Hell to the yes. And yeah I was the same with the chinese new years situation. My flatmate's friend came over with chinese sweets from his mum and I was really fussy about it...I felt bad afterwards.
I want to recover because I want to care about things that are really important and because I want to be a more interesting person.

Because it just took me 30 minutes of scouring the Triple J message boards to find the name of a song I heard and liked on the radio this morning. My poor slow brain couldn't even retain that tiny piece of information for the time it took me to get from the kitchen to my laptop, and load up Itunes store. I want to be able to RETAIN INFORMATION dammit!
