Thing is with separating the ED, it's no good just writing ana/mia all the time if you don't do anything, if you don't mentally separate yourself.. What's the point? Sorry, I just wanted to say that. (And comment aimed at no one imparticular)

And thanks Sarah for being so honest there, was really good to read your point of view, as with everyone elses as well. :)

I'd go to say I sometimes miss numbers also.. but they are not good for me and ultimately I don't ever want them back.

I think it's really hard, especially when you're in the middle of an ED, to separate what is good for you and what isn't cause something 'you' may like may actually just be a good source of fuel for your ED. If that makes any sense?

Food lists are more tricky than numbers but I'm sure many of us are well aware of the foods that contain little/a lot calories, just like someone shouting 'I ate a salad!!! OMG, I never thought I could do that!!' (or even something on the opposite end of the scale) can be quite triggering for me. It's not a reflection on their achievement or even intention in posting but my vunerability - an ok thing.

I think it just encourages comparing, something some of us lean towards doing.

Anyways. xx

By the side of the river he trotted as one trots, when very small, by the side of a man who holds one spell-bound by exciting stories; and when tired at last, he sat on the bank, while the river still chattered on to him, a babbling procession of the best stories in the world, sent from the heart of the earth to be told at last to the insatiable sea. Wind in the Willows.
