Yesterday I was looking at some nude portraits... first came awe at how beautiful this (admitted) self-conscious woman's body was. How could this be natural? It was just amazing (in a very nonconventional, non-eating disorder way). And then this sense of overwhelming greif... realizing that I had given up any chance of being that person.

you can still get that person that you want to be. it will just take a lot of hard work. Its taken me about a year with seeing a dietition & a counciler to reduce me binging. its hard, but it can happen. just have a little faith. i know that it feels like you can never get better, but you really can. its just that your eating disorder doesn't let you see that, but it is there, i promise. but you cant do this on ur own.

it is a strange place for a full lenght mirror to be, i wonder why its even there of all places.

hang in there oks.

There really isn't an option not to do it on my own.. because I'm going into psychology I'm so afraid of admitting my own psychological shortfallings to the world... I can admit them to myself and to some friends, but to have a permanent record of it... I just couldn't stand that. I know it's not uncommon for therapists to see therapists themselves... but I just don't feel comfortable enough to do it. If I were to see a therapist at the school (only place I can get a few sessions free) it would most likely be one of my professors... I couldn't live knowing my professor, who I'd be relying on, knew what a fuck up I am. If they knew, how would that affect my entire degree? They'd think I was entirely unsuitable... sorry, rambling. I have had some help from my boyfriend, but he's in another country right now (which just makes it harder) and no one else knows and no one else can. I can't afford any kind of treatment and I'm scared shitless to anyway... sorry, thank you though.
