This story is very familiar, except mine started when I crossed the threshold to my college dorm room, freshman year. We had a group on our floor that defied the concept of gaining the freshman 15. I guess we showed them. I lost 30# as well as the other girls. Finally, I was thin, but I didn’t enjoy one minute of it. There was the thrill, but there was more internal fight, imagined failure, bulimic guilt, and etc. In the early ’70s, there weren’t a lot of resources, so I was left to figure it out myself. OA was amazing, but we moved and I lost my core group. I did work through it, but it took much longer than if I’d sought professional help. I didn’t know I needed it at that age! I guess I did not work through it that well after all, because I went from that to depression & anxiety for the next 15+ years, Finally got help for that (talk therapy and finally meds),and now that THAT is under control, my latest inner demon is skin-picking. Good grief, if I weren’t a Humorist (speaker) it might be quite sad. All of the above is visible from the previous generation (parents) as well as grandparents, so I accept the genetic chemistry and the fact that I can keep working through the current situation, which is as difficult as the other things. From things I’ve read…and I read a lot, I’m a textbook case. Doesn’t make it easier, but at least I don’t feel like a freak. If you relate to this case in any shape or form, GET HELP NOW! Start your work. Pinky is so right. If not now, when? I’m going to try even harder. Some things are just too hard to live with alone. And for heaven’s sake, try to get to the bottom of your issues, so that you understand where everything stems from. The mind is an interesting, complex, mind. Know your own path. Good luck!

Nice post sis…A year ago I was doing the same thing with other women as I shot up to a size 16. Holy Ghost got on me about envy as well and I asked God for help. Now I am down to a size 12, all glory be to God!

so the scripture is true, cast your care upon Him for He cares for you!

Comment on How One Can Find Healing Through Art. by margie clayman (@margieclayman)

This is such an important topic. You are very courageous for writing about it, and Judith is very courageous for letting her story get shared in the hopes that it will help other women.

Unlike humans, diseases and disorders don’t care what your skin color is, how old you are, or anything else. The only surprise is that our current society hasn’t yet learned that we are helping to create these negative feelings in women – and men. Men are so often overlooked in conversations about eating disorders.

The first key is to make sure those who are struggling know they are not alone.

Your post is a great step towards that goal.

Comment on Defining Beauty: Whose Standard Is This, Anyway? by Kathy Loh

Thanks for keeping these questions front and center. It amazes me how we stand at a checkout counter and face both the candy and the “perfect” bodies in the same racks. I will never forget the time I’d returned from camping in Mexico…sun, sand, cabanas, bathing suits and the only mirror was the car mirror. It only took 5 days to get comfortable in my own skin without a full length mirror around. I saw one of those magazines in a drug store and I wondered “what’s that all about.” Soon enough, I was swept away by it all again. Thanks for doing what you do!
