Well, as much as I'd like to say I'm impressed with the candid journal entries in The Anorexia Diaries, I'm actually finding that it is rushed through and isn't a very great read. I could just as easily go and pull out my own journals from the past several years and read similar thoughts and feel that my journals are more realistic. To make things worse, the mother is a psychotherapist which is not your typical family situation when it comes to eating disorders. Things seemed to appear and be immediately dealt with. I binged for four years, starved myself almost completely for one year and cut my arms and legs to bits before I got to a hospital, only because my therapist dragged me there against anything my mother would have allowed (and almost without her knowing). My parents joked about my food habits, and either denied anything was wrong or claimed to know more than my doctors for all the years I struggled before hitting bottom. And now, coming up on four years later, I'm still in the thick of it. My parents still don't take it all very seriously. Anyhow, just got off my bike (2 hours as usual these days) so I'm off to bed. I should get some things done tomorrow. I wish I didn't have to go to work Monday.
