Many people with eating disorders, die from it. Others never recover. I used to think that I would never recover. I used to think that I would never recover, and stuck eating 800 calories a day or less than that. Being cold alll the time and feeling trapped. Never going out to eat. Isolating myself.
Now I realize that I really can recover. And so can you. I know sometimes it feels so hard to even try to eat. We make up excuses like "I have no appetite" "I don't feel like trying to eat more today" "I just wanted to listen to Ed today, he was too strong."
But you know what will happen if you keep giving in to those excuses?
Isabelle Caro died from eating disorder complications. She was so strong, but she let the disease get the best of her. She's such an inspiration to me, and I'm going to keep fighting and keep eating so I can inspire other people just like she did. I hope one day I can be completely recover and help other people get recovered too. You don't have to live with an eating disorder forever. There is hope.

I watched that video the other day. Oh how grateful I am that none of us have turned out like that. May she and her Mother rest in peace xxx
ReplyDeleteStrong post, Danielle!
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad. I hate that people don't take this disease seriously. I mean look how far it can go and dark it can turn. Lives have been lost, and that's never exceptable. And I know that you've probably inspired a lot of others that you don't even realize, just by having this blog devoted to fighting anorexia and not being defeated by it, or living staying passive in it. Keep fighting, and keep showing that life is not worth the risk.
ReplyDeleteI saw that video of Isabelle Caro... so, so heartbreaking, it made me cry.
ReplyDeleteWow...
ReplyDeleteThat was definitely an incredible video, Danielle.
You're so right about this - we can all recover. It only depends on us.
Thanks for sharing, love!

Aww, I saw that for the first time a while before she died, and for some reason, when I heard that news, I felt in denial about it. I guess it was extra hard to see someone with the same illness I have die. It's so sad and it makes dying from it feel so much more realistic. You are absolutely right, there is always hope to recover!
