Follow the Yellow Brick Road...
"A place where there isn't any trouble. Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto? There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far away. Behind the moon, beyond the rain..."
My journey to my somewhere over the rainbow. Loving, learning, stumbling, discovering, reliving, and embracing life along the way. With every step, I gain more courage, knowledge, love, and get closer to finding my heart's desire, to finding where I belong and who I am. Feel free to join me on my walk down the yellow brick road of life as I remember my past, plan for my future, and embrace the present...

Quote reblogged from Surviving Anorexia
When you first start recovery there’s A LOT to deal with – every second of every day – battling negative thoughts, spiraling emotions, wanting to give up and go back to the disorder, fighting your body as it changes, fear, anxiety, sleeplessness, discomfort, doubt…
Recovery can feel like falling apart. There are lots of slips and setbacks, but each one teaches you something about yourself, your triggers, and new strategies for the future. You come to realise that even if a book or therapist tells you “X,Y,Z will help you stop a binge” you must figure out if that’s true for you. Each small setback has tremendous value when you keep the bigger picture in mind …
Over time, the victories will pile on top of each other, like bricks – and you’ll have built a new foundation of how you view yourself, food, and the world at large

It means you don’t say ‘do it for me’. This only increases the guilt and worthless feelings a person with an eating disorder has - because they can’t comply.
IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU and WHAT YOU WANT the person to do. They just need support and care. When they are ready and able they will be able to do it for themselves, which is far more important and worthwhile.
