Thank you for the lovely words of support. Yes, I am in recovery. I’m not sure I’ll ever be totally recovered, but that’s another subject to ponder! I really appreciate your well wishes for my savory journey!
my sister was....she may have died from it....down to less than 90 pounds and her teeth rotted out from all the vomiting (she did have them fixed at some point). horrible.
Thank you for your prayers and kind words about my writing. Yes, I am okay, working hard on recovery with the help of many others. Feeling especially grateful this week.
I never thought I had an eating disorder but after my husband died about a year and a half ago I lost about 15 pounds even though I was always considered slender. I had no one to cook for or to eat with every day and I realized I am a social eater. And, I wanted my body to announce my grief. If I looked exactly the same, how would people know I was devastated by my loss? And now eating less is routine. I’ve gained back 2 or 3 pounds but I’m pretty sure I will never be the same again. Eating disorders or disordered eating is extraordinarily complicated and difficult to treat and manage. Thank you for writing so openly about it
I'm so sorry to hear about your husband, and your struggles with eating. Please know you are not alone; you are brave for admitting your pain. Thank YOU for writing openly!
Beautiful writing. Are you in recovery? Or recovered?
Wishing you the savory, succulent joys of eating.....

I pray everything is okay with you. I love this.
