So, you think you're ABOVE it all?

[ShutterbugMama]

Of course you don't...everyone has a "thing".  Don't they?

Perhaps I'm wrong, but perhaps I'm right???

I have a self defeating behavior.  I wont lie...I have a "thing".  I don't blame anyone, or anything for MY CHOICE in this matter, I can only say that I fall into a self defeating behavior now and then, and I try like hell sometimes to fight it.

Sometimes, it's the furthest things from my mind, but always, those self defeating behaviors are shameful, secret, embarrassing.

Do you have one???

Do you drink too much?  Do you SHOP too much?  Do you EAT to much?

I'll be honest...I HAVE AN EATING DISORDER.  I've been fighting this self defeating behavior since I was 14 years old.  It hasn't been easy, and sometimes, I take 20 steps backwards, but IM HUMAN....

No one is perfect....

Do you have secret?  What do you fall into?  What is behind your closed door?  LET PEOPLE KNOW, even anonymously, THAT THEY ARE NOT ALONE!

Because truly, we're not....

But we're all loved anyway.

Right?

What do you do?  C'mon....no one is all alone.

Even if you post annonymously, you are NOT alone.

Jun. 16, 2008 at 2:04 PM I have struggled with an eating disorder too.  From when I was about 16 and I still struggle today at 35.  Its a tough demon to beat.  I have been inpatient, therapy, meds, but I still am obsessed.  I hate living like this.

I used to have an eating disorder, used to,,,I have put that behind me, I have no other behaviors at this time that are self defeating, none, no reason to,,, I have learned to love me for who I am, and that is all I can give I have nothing to hide and choose Love above everything,... everything...

When you learn to love you for who you are nothing else matters, I can't be a 20 year old super model so why beat myself up to look like one...love always wins...

Jun. 16, 2008 at 2:08 PM I'm an emotional eater and I just plain enjoy food....cooking and eating.  Wish I could get back to eating for survival versus for fun and comfort!

I needed to pick like 4 of those things! lol Im not really sure which one is the worst!  We do all have 'things' and Thank God people are put into our lives to love and support us depite these demons! The one I hate the worst-when I get too mad at my kids! I lose my mind over them so often! Especially with Camerons behavior issues. I let it get to me more than it should. Im working on this! 

I love ya Elle!

We could only pick one?  LOL . . .

Of course, I have some.  I'm human.   I eat emotionally and say thing to myself I would NEVER say to another human being in a million years.   All I can do with those things it too keep working at them.

Jun. 16, 2008 at 2:26 PM Um...I need check boxes instead of radio buttons. I need to be able to choose 5 of those. I am working diligently at redirecting myself so that they are not an issue. But it's a learning process. I'm always learning, changing, and hopefully, growing.

I think as long as we learn to love ourselves and others as we/they are then we'll all be ok....like you always say...LOVE IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER!

I LOVE YOU!!!!!
