waiting on winter

Winter is just around the corner and as a person living with anorexia, it is a bittersweet feeling. The major positive about winter is the big sweat shirts you get to wear, but that can also be risky. When people with eating disorders wear big, baggy clothes, it makes it harder for people to see if a weight loss is occurring. With winter around the corner, now is the time to make your plan, get support and find a way to be accountable. If you have a friend or loved one with ED be that support and accountability for them! This disease is not cured by medicine, it is only managed and the more people to help, the better. The other bad thing about winter is the weather. It can at times be beautiful, but let's face it, it is usually gloomy. Depression is already one of ED's best friends, but add the inevitable "seasonal depression" and you have three bad guys out to get you. Make sure you are taking any and all medications you are on, and for those of you who are supporters, remind your loved one to take their medicines. I would love to hear your stories about how you prepare for winter or how you get through triggering times!

Stay strong and beautiful!! <3
