Intro

I have tried to years to start blogging or writing about my personal struggles as an adult woman with an eating disorder. Something always gets in the way of finding the time.

My husband and I started watching the Showtime series Weeds recently, and the theme song "Little Boxes" kept playing over and over in my head. I kept hearing "...and they're all made out of ticky tacky" in my head all hours of the day and night. Something about that phrase resonates with me....ticky tacky. Maybe I feel like I'm made out of ticky tacky. Who knows. Regardless of the reason, it has prompted me to start writing.

I have no idea how long I will be able to do this or what will come of it. This is not a pro-eating disorder blog, nor is it a place for me to place blame about my eating disorder on anyone. It is simply a place for me to write about my feelings, unapologetically and without reserve, because IRL I do not have a safe place to do that. Language may be colorful at times, and I'm sure there will be times when I write, if I allow myself to do so, where the depths of my soul are aching and crying out. If I actually have readers at some point, please do not take offense and have judgement. This is nothing more than a place for me to talk--nothing more, nothing less.
