Alumni Support Group today... what can I say... for me it was all about offering the hope of recovery to one another. There is nothing more touching than hearing the stories of those of you who have been through struggle after struggle, only to rise above. The vulnerability that comes from healing from an eating disorder seems to open hearts for the real good stuff in life.
I would love to hear how each of you keep hope alive.
Next Alumni Support Group: Sunday, November 2nd, 4:00-5:30pm

Thanks everyone for your support and listening ear at this support group. To just see you gals there made me feel like there is hope for us all. Because, through it all we are still there for each other in the end.
I wrote this poem not too long ago..and I wanted to share it with you all. Thanks again for your support. ~Alex
Me, myself and Ed
I walk down the street taking sizes of every girl I meet
To make myself be somewhat smaller than my illusion
Staring at my dinner I plan the percentages of what I can allow myself
5% green beans 2% potatoes 5% watermelon
Wait! That does not add to 100%.....I know.
I am Ed
The girl that smiles everyday for no reason at all.
The girl that would sit on her horse backwards to suspend time.
The child that was told she could go to college and even go to NASA if she wanted to. She was a dreamer.
That girl is myself.
Somewhere in the middle is a grown up lady.
Sizes do not rule her life, but catch her eye from time to time.
Her saddle still fits backwards on top her sorrel mare, but now she gallops forwards to face the beauty she entails.
Her weight of life outweighs her obsession.
For love has entered her life.
Now shines a new page for which her book to be written.
That woman is me.
