Hi Nancy,
It's me Kelie and I wanted to give you an update since you interviewed me for People. After the article came out I was contacted by others who struggle with diabulimia and other eating disorders. Most wanted to give support and some wanted more information on diabulimia. Shortly after the article came out, I was contacted by FOX to come do a morning show. I was able to share a little more of my story. After going out to New York I realized that I needed to move back home where my support from friends and family is. I am now back in my support groups and counceling, back on the road of recovery. It truely is one day at a time and I thank you for being a part of getting me back on that road. I am still working on my book "Journey to Truth" maybe on of these days it will get published. Thanks again. Take care.

Hi Kelie,

It's great to hear from you, and to hear that the People story touched others struggling with diabulimia. I hope moving back home has helped you in your recovery and wish you the best of luck with your book. Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing!
All the best,
Nancy

I would love to wear a T-shirt with the same statement as your titled post today! I also feel health care professionals, for the most part, are either ill-informed or bias when it comes to ED's. I work in health care as well as struggle with a long-standing ED.

Nancy

Hi JEP,

You are so right about the health care profession. We'd love to hear some of the examples you've seen of bias within the healthcare profession against those with ED.

Take care,
Nancy
