Every day I'm realizing more and more that while physically it may matter what I eat and how much I exercise, emotionally and spiritually it is so irrelevant. Trying to fill the hole inside of me with food, exercise and binges isn't the answer...but filling it with the Lord, scripture and prayer is. I've always looked for the "new" diet plan, cookbook or workout regime that is going to "fix" me, and I really had the Book with all the answers all along. Who knew? :)Mama Peahttp://www.peasandthankyou.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536652400100822689.post-81933446128581686652009-11-07T07:44:06.039-07:002009-11-07T07:44:06.039-07:00I am thankful that you posted this, as you continu...I am thankful that you posted this, as you continue to serve as an example of what I aim aiming to be (in my own way) in terms of balance and determination. Seriously, I'm not just blowing smoke up your tookus...you seem to have come so far with your thoughts and actions, and I have no doubt that the coming months will be much better for you than holidays of the past. <br /><br />But fried pickles?Abbyhttp://www.abbyhasissues.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536652400100822689.post-51042612480611639962009-11-06T23:04:42.862-07:002009-11-06T23:04:42.862-07:00I'm glad you shared a piece of your past :) I...I'm glad you shared a piece of your past :) I think you have come a long way and this holiday season will be much more enjoyable than last.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02322434156214605357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536652400100822689.post-61853268220878711612009-11-06T17:30:58.953-07:002009-11-06T17:30:58.953-07:00Thank you so much for sharing this post.

While I've never been anywhere close to battling it to the extent others have, I can relate to many of the food-control issues that ED sufferers have. It's been a hard lesson learning that food is meant to be enjoyed and not stressed over. I think this is your month to shine and OWN that recovery! You've come a long way and deserve to enjoy the holidays with you family :) Oh, and you also totally deserve those fried pickles - yum!<br /><br />See ya for Sammie Saturday!Susanhttp://thegreatbalancingact.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536652400100822689.post-84649237336165616852009-11-06T15:21:19.139-07:002009-11-06T15:21:19.139-07:00You are an amazingly strong young woman!

This time of year stirs up memories ...Amazing post. This time of year stirs up memories too- I am glad you shared what you did and LOVE hearing how optimistic you sound. I wrote a while ago about whether recovery was possible, and it was pointed out by a few people that what I seemd to be striving for was life how it was BEFORE my eating disorder...and that's just not going to happen. We learn too much through our journey and our past has shaped us- but we can move on. The same way people learn and grow through any experience, whether it's a good one or a bad one.<br /><br />Have a fab and groovy weekend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536652400100822689.post-54843483714398645532009-11-06T11:07:46.450-07:002009-11-06T11:07:46.450-07:00This is such a lovely post.

Really amazing - everyone has their demons and their down days - but the fact that you take all that and turn it into love and gratitude for the people (and condiments) in your life is truly inspirational. Sounds like you have an excellent plan for dealing with whatever might come up this holiday season - I know you'll have a totally fabulous time.Abby (Nibble, Nourish, Run)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107924752796549454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536652400100822689.post-24537561742762773212009-11-06T10:48:16.823-07:002009-11-06T10:48:16.823-07:00Hey Emily!
