Create Your World



Create A World Free of Bulimia

Several  years ago, while I was at an eating disorder clinic I thought my world was over.  I had so many challenges to deal wiith...not enough money to buy food, family that didn't quite understand bulimia, no husband, and three small children to take care of.  Was it overwhelming?  YES.  Did I eventually find my way out?  YES.  Was it easy?  Sometimes yes and sometimes no.  But it was was it was.

Upon my second discharge from the clinic I began to realize that recovery would not mean going back to what I was.  It meant something very different.  It had a feeling of the unknown and uncertainty.  But when I looked at recovery in the light of building myself a new life and way of interacting in the world...I began to realize that I had the opportunity to create my own world, just as I wanted it to be. 

It meant giving up secrets and giving up the rush to the bathroom after meals.  It meant sharing some of my secrets with loved ones so that they could support me.  And most importantly, it means having hope and awesome trust in the process of uncovering my true essence and potential. 

I looked at it as a way of creating my own world.  So today I invite you to begin to create your own world.  Your thoughts make up your reality whether you're on meds for the disease or not. And if you change what you eat, (and keep it down of course) then you can change the blood that supplies your brain with vital nutrients.  When you do this you can change the way your brain functions.  And eventually you will be surprised at your progress in making peace with food.

So I invite you to Create Your World startng today!
