You seem to have the emotional intelligence to understand that it was a disease. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this story in such a candid manner. I think it is very helpful for people to hear your perspective.<br /><br />Denise Burks<br />www.successfulweightlossinthesuburbs.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01779365028624975689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805710725835460669.post-72812853787117420302009-11-22T10:24:58.885-05:002009-11-22T10:24:58.885-05:00I haven't had much exposure to the ED blogs, b...I haven't had much exposure to the ED blogs, but it sounds like some of them take a very warped perspective that is not going to help much with recovery.<br /><br />And yeah, dealing with borderlines is definitely a no-win; even many therapists will often refer them elsewhere because they are so high-maintenance and difficult to treat. But they can be very compelling because they are often very skilled at emotional manipulation. Compassion is order, because their lives generally suck, but friendship is nearly impossible unless they get treatment. <br /><br />Good for you for moving on and taking good care of yourself!Crabby McSlackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108791388350253344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805710725835460669.post-1545944484619268012009-11-19T22:56:00.995-05:002009-11-19T22:56:00.995-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.camilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01024263073326014593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805710725835460669.post-31853424893679376362009-11-19T19:50:55.589-05:002009-11-19T19:50:55.589-05:00great post, thank you for sharing.great post, thank you for sharing.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17675054532273912649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805710725835460669.post-45195559443965935182009-11-18T21:26:54.048-05:002009-11-18T21:26:54.048-05:00I'm sorry you lost a friend, but I'm happy...I'm sorry you lost a friend, but I'm happy you found yourself.<br /><br />Strong stuff.

And I'm sorry about your friend...sound like she was a total mindf*ck and it's good you got out when you did.<br /><br />As for reading about other blogger's binges, I find that I usually skip over the details - and yes, I do think that some take a lot of pleasure in describing all that they ate. I'm talking about people who binge over and over, not ones who happen to have a crazy food day. <br /><br />Thanks for bringing this out in the open.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805710725835460669.post-90856812266237734412009-11-18T20:05:07.001-05:002009-11-18T20:05:07.001-05:00Hi, I'm visiting for the first time today.

I appreciate your thoughts on the subject of eating disorders.karen@fitnessjourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15161983893717225660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805710725835460669.post-73618228593910253462009-11-18T19:33:58.579-05:002009-11-18T19:33:58.579-05:00Very informative and insightful post--thank you!

I don't have an eating disorder, I just eat more than I burn off so I have never been able to relate to those who do-- though I have read their posts with sympathy and concern.<br /><br />Just a note, I found the choice of background and colours very difficult to read, but my eyes aren't as young as they once were.<br /><br />BarbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
