Attending a cartoonist luncheon at the White House- I was a professional food hider sitting next to President Bush.

When I was Anorexic I felt the fear every second of every day. Mistakenly believing that the feeling of fear was a reminder of what I had to keep doing to have power over my life. REAL power in your and over your life - does not feel fearful.❤️

Pain as Fuel

Starving Anorexic: Anorexia is not about the weight of your body - it...: Anorexia is not about the weight of your body - it is about the weight of your world.

Me. A moment in time with my eating disorder-barely hanging on. For those suffering with ANY form of disordered eating there is hope for another tomorrow. That is what I speak about in my book, ''Surviving Anie''. It IS NOT about the cookie-it never was.

Anorexia is not about the weight of your body - it is about the weight of your world.

The Imperfect Perfection of Recovery

Someone said to me," Tell me what you did to get better- how did you get from there to here." I simply chose to live. Recovery is not a magic button it does not make all the pain go away. You must always be aware of what is in the shadows - and be on guard for it. There are no perfect steps to take. I chose to keep living and going forward in an imperfect life. That is as close to perfection as I will ever get.
