1) Bulimia doesn’t make people skinny. In fact, we’re more often normal or over-weight. And, that makes us feel even more miserable. We all tend to feel even more like failures cuz we consider ourselves “bad bulimics” if we go through all this hell and still can’t even be skinny.

2) Loving ourselves is not a quick fix. It takes a lot of time and work to learn how to do that and to prove to ourselves over and over again that we’re worth loving.

3) Learning to love and honor ourselves IS the only lasting way to recovery – from eating disorders, anxiety, depression, rage, hopelessness. It’s the only way.

WIth love and respect,
Michelle Hope
