I really needed to know that other women have gone through similar things. Right now I feel that it was a temporary blip (I hope!), but I also know that I am struggling with a lot of other things in my life (final exams being top of the list), so it was not surprisingly that my old ED fears should resurface around this time. Kim: I often take the approach of telling myself that things will be better tomorrow, and like you say, it usually works!<BR/>So here's to tomorrow!<BR/>Ai LuAi Luhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01197869780327408592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365057403767674312.post-16963738097452500742008-12-12T00:28:00.000-05:002008-12-12T00:28:00.000-05:00Dearest Ai Lu,As I read your words, I feel what yo...Dearest Ai Lu,<BR/><BR/>As I read your words, I feel what you are feeling. I have felt it so many times. I know the moments when the eating disorder comes back to knock on your door, and it's more than challenging to resist answering to the knock. <BR/><BR/>Ahhh, but you know what is more strongly in my mind and in my heart as I am reading this? The beauty, the joy, the self-confidence and strength that you exuded when I sat across from you at Josie's in Manhattan just a couple of weeks ago. I hope that, remembering that day, remembering how you felt that day, how radiant and glowing and beautiful you were - from the inside out, is helpful to you in transcending this temporary bump in the road. <BR/><BR/>I, too, am here to talk, email, text, anytime you could use some support! I know how it is! Oh do I ever know it! <BR/><BR/>much love to you, dear Ai Lu! I hope you are feeling a world different already by the time you read this!<BR/><BR/>~ejEmily Joliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04103507139176115531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365057403767674312.post-55330034307719518552008-12-10T11:21:00.000-05:002008-12-10T11:21:00.000-05:00Thank you for the very honest post.

I have to think it's normal to have these days, when we get stuck thinking about our bodies. I can go a week without giving a thought to the size of my stomach or whatever other body part...then, bam, one day, I'm OBSESSED. It passes, usually after a good night's sleep, and I try to remember that in the stuck moments. I hope your day is better today :) Again, thanks for the honest post.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12524913753671188764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365057403767674312.post-24788678703825014532008-12-09T23:32:00.000-05:002008-12-09T23:32:00.000-05:00Hey Beautiful Girl,I want you to know you are far ...Hey Beautiful Girl,<BR/>I want you to know you are far from alone in this.
