Fear. Plain and simple it's fear. Fear of the unknown. How will I cope without it? Where will my comfort come from? I have been back and forth, recovered and relapsed. The fear of emotions and feeling real feelings is always what pulls me back. It costs me relationships because I begin to hide from everyone and everything when I lean on the eating disorder. It costs me sanity because being undernourished inhibits my brain function. It costs me health because of the repercussions of the behaviors. It costs me time. I am in my 30's and, after a couple of solid years of recovery, I recently got my Bachelor's degree. That is a major accomplishment, but what could my life have been had I not let the eating disorder steal so much time from me?
My 16 year old daughter has bulemia and is resisting treatment. We argue constantly because I see what it is doing to her physically. She is obviously not ready to give up this lifestyle. I feel very sad because I think when she does look back on this, (God willing) she will have the same regret as you "what could my life have been had I not let the eating disorder steal so much time from me?" All I want is for her to be happy... with her life, with herself. She has so much going for her, so much ahead of her .... if she could just put this behind her.
