This whole thing is SO scary, but it REALLY is beatable. You don't realise how stupid the whole thing is until you've moved away from it slightly and looked back. You waste YEARS of your life on NOTHING - which I can promise you is all it is. Food is NOT the problem. Some of you say that your ONLY problem is with food - nothing else - well that's crap.

Sorry to be so blunt, but it's true. Yes, that maybe the area the problem takes root in, but whether we like to admit it or not, something has happened to make us feel like this and it doesn't always have to big - it can be something REALLY small (like one nasty comment) - which grows and grows and makes us believe that losing weight or gaining weight will allow us to hide from the world.

However, this REALLY doesn't work. You soon begin to realise that all you are doing is hurting yourself - very rarely does anybody notice unless something drastic occurs and when they do you find that you actually don't want the help/attention that you've soo craved for so long. Not eating gives us the most INCREDIBLE sense of PARANOIA. The stupid thing is that you don't realise it until you start eating again as you just convince yourself that the rest of the world is wrong - after all - how could you be wrong when you're doing something that feels so right??

It's amazing how strong a thing the mind is and I promise u all  that this all is really just the biggest waste of time ever. You may feel like you have a REALLY good reason to be doing all of this, but ask yourself again why it is that you're doing this - and I promise you, the more you ask yourself the less convinced you will be. This is because, basically this whole thing that we do to ourselves is based on a pack of lies that we have grown to believe about ourselves in order to justify hurting ourselves like this. Why the hell would we do it if we didn't believe it was for a good reason? However, when you look at this reason in the cold light of day - it doesn't seem quite so logical - and a few years down the line, you'll wonder how on earth you ever decided that that was a good enough reason to subject yourself to YEARS of SELF ABUSE.

Because - at the end of the day - it is only ourselves that are doing this to us - nobody else does it - there is no 'other person' that hurts us in this way - we HAVE to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for our OWN actions before it is too late and we can no longer take responsibility for ANYTHING.
