Have I ever told you that I think you are a dead sexy hottie and one day I will find you and make you mine? You beautiful - inside and out. It is funny how we all see yourself.

I look back now and I have no idea why because I was just healthy and looked fine. Now I actually am fat, but can't find the motivation to exercise. So maybe they were right.

If you didn't have it maybe you just wouldn't care. You'd eat lots of shit and get truly obese. From your pics it doesn't look like you are starving yourself today. You look good. I have a problem too. It might be the same thing in so far as I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror for too long and will not keep any photographs of myself. I used to be painfully thin as a teenager and hated myself then. Now I am fat and hate myself for that too. Unfortuately, I don't have your willpower. There must have been a point along that continuum when I was neither thin nor fat but I remember only being one or the other. I have a friend who weighs about 350 lbs and he thinks he's hot and god's gift to women. Is that the opposite of BDD?

I watched it three times in a row. I am 1.5 years free of my ED. I had so many mixed feeling while watching this. Part of me missed sickness. Part of me loved my health. Overall, I was able to see how far I've come and appreciate that. Thanks for posting this. I have Thin on DVD. I watched it three times in a row. I am 1.5 years free of my ED.

I just wanted to say that it is brave of you to post such personal stuff, but I appreciate reading it, because it helps me realize that other people out there have stuff to deal with too. I don't have body issues, but I certainly am going through stuff of my own. Another thing that strikes me is that even though you are working through various things, you still found a guy who loves you and supports you. THAT gives me a lot of hope. Take care, Duane.
