Thought I would stop by and say hi.

I'm 34 and dealt with AN and bulimia from 15 to about 30. I was completely recovered for 4 years then fell into a relapse of AN and am trying to fight my way out of it.

I started a blog, http://www.chewzlife.blogspot.com to help me sort my thoughts, in a positive yet honest way. It's been very therapeutic for me.

I'm planning on inpatient soon, just need to get the 'ahem' $$$/insurance issue sorted out. I'm excited and scared, but anxious to have a life again. I've missed too much of my life already.

I have a dh, a lovable dog named Faith we got from the pound who has been my companion through these past few difficult months. I also design jewelry when I have energy to do so - http://www.lambchopbijoux.com. Proceeds help me in my recovery, so please don't be offended by my mentioning it!

Thanks and I enjoy reading your blog.

Welcome! Blogging is therapeutic sometimes, isn't it? I'm glad it helps you.

I hope you receive treatment soon; it sounds like you're ready. Good luck!

Best of luck to you in your treatment. I keep reminding myself that recovery is about the journey, not the destination.

Thank you, dewdrop. It is challenging to remember that, but I am learning *slowly* that little baby steps still get you somewhere!
