So I have to laugh to myself, I am in about the first 20% of reading my daily blogs, and 'This Winding Road' girl and well basically every person in recovery from an eating disorder has this obsession with Baby Cliff Bars!! It's so funny also that us disordered eaters like to blog about what we eat. I don't entirely, but they do and give me ideas of yummy different foods that aren't so scary for recovery. BUT, it's so common that we love baby cliff bars, baby carrots, and basically everything baby and gay.
The blogs I read are in a range. 'Bearing, Eating, Being' is the most recovered and the one I admire the most. I feel my experience is pretty similar to hers so I can relate pretty well. Along with Kim's blog. Then there are the ones who are in the earlier stages of recovery, I suppose I am probably still there as well. They talk about the pain, the joys, the hatred of eating a lot of food, the comforts of eating baby cliff bars and safe foods and exercising. Then there is Blogoxygen. She is scary because she is the sickest. She just got her feeding tube out. She's had it 3 times. She had a still birth of her second kid because she didn't eat during pregnancy. Her blog is tragic to read but I am pulling for her and everyone else in her life is too. Just interesting the range of these people. I'm just glad I'm not alone.
Yesterday in one I read how one of her biggest triggers is her feeling bloated. STORY OF MY LIFE. Honest to god it's truly amazing how one day I can feel pretty damn great and okay about my body then the next, if I'm bloated, I want to absolutely stop eating and hate my body. BUT, what's good? That this is normal and others feel this too!! So, today, yes I feel a touch bloated, BUT I feel like I'm not alone and it's okay. :) Pretty cool.
