another this week's Bumper Sticker...

This week's Bumper Sticker, brought to us by Laura: Sappy is Good.

whining

Here's a late in the week Bumper Sticker: "telling the truth about your experience is not whining"

"I don't find getting to feel my feelings much of an incentive...actually I'd prefer not to feel them"

this week's Bumper Sticker...

Our Bumper Sticker for this week, brought to us (without permission, so I hope she's ok with this :) by Laura's therapist: People try to get out of the eating disorder by going farther into the eating disorder.

Ok Ann and Laura...

A few weeks ago both Ann and Laura made a reference to (this may be a bad paraphrase so forgive me...) "being completely done with the eating disorder" and looking forward to at some point being "completely recovered."
