EATING DISORDER RECOVERY… WHEN HARDWOOD FLOORS AND HARD FEELINGS ATTACK
I was on my way downstairs two nights ago in the middle of the night. I needed a glass of water, and yes have this bad habit of living on the edge of walking down in the dark. The next thing I know, I tripped on something causing me to fall flat on my face. [...]
EATING DISORDERS RECOVERY…IT’S MY RECOVERY, I’LL CRY IF I WANT TO

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHO YOU ARE
The other day I got really irritated with a friend because they were late to meet me for coffee. I kept sitting there tapping my high-heeled foot under the table, looking at my watch and thinking to myself that I had a blog I had to finish, dry cleaning to pick up, sushi to eat, [...]
EATING DISORDERS ARTICLES | NOTHING LAST FOREVER EXCEPT RECOVERY
I get asked the question quite often if I am fully recovered from my eating disorder. A lot of people assume that I am, as I basically went from being almost dead, to now living quite a productive life. In all honesty, I used to think that I was, but now I know for a [...]
RECOVERING FROM AN EATING DISORDER….A STAR IS REBORN
