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.

My story of Anorexia and my survival tips are detailed in my book," Surviving Anie- My 18 Year Battle With Anorexia". For your copy please email me at Lindaboileau@me.com

Eating with Santa

Anorexia at Christmas. You are the gift to yourself. Do not let your eating disorder return it.

My Favorite Spoon

It was what they call in the South," An ice tea spoon". It had a long stem and a pefect little scoop that made me feel as if I was eating the " just so" bite. Just so right in tiny calories , Just so powerful in controlling that out of control life.

Cold

I was always cold from the inside out. The freeze that came from my body devouring itself.
But the real cold was the still, deep kind that always said," More loss coming- you can't starve it away."
I still feel that cold.
