Hey I have a friend who has been struggling with… well a lot over the past couple years. She is actually a friend of my older sisters but as she and I began talking we’ve become very close. She has dabbled in everything from alchohol to cutting to mia ana drugs and more. She’s been betrayed by almost everyone she knows. Here’s my problem, I believe she needs serious medical help, but I believe telling her parents and getting her sent to the hospital or something would be very bad. Not only would that be another one betraying her, but I believe she will do what everyone does, she’ll do what it takes to get out of rehab and then start right up again, because unless I can convince her to go willingly i don’t think there will be any change in her desires, that’s what counts right? As far as I know… no matter how good a doctor, if you don’t want to change, you won’t.

that was so beautiful. and i’m so sorry. you’re an insperation to us all. even if i don’t have an eating disorder, i can really understand why people get into them. people always think, “oh, they’re so horrible! how could they think that?! they did this to themselves!” but recently, i found out that one of my close friends from a while ago has bulimia and she needed to go to the hospital. she was great. she hasn’t died yet and she IS slowly getting better, but i think we should all really think about what eating disorders do. thank you, mama vision, for really making me understand.

Hi Mccullen: Thanks for the kind words, its posts like yours that keeps me going. Although I do have to admit this blog has turned into a parttime job which I did not plan for….but there is no way I can walk away from it. These issues are not only too important but are growing, so as long as I have a platform to speak I will attempt to shed some light from my perspective. It is true that it is easier now that I am happily married with children, and still a babe – but my recovery from my eating disorders, modeling industry brainwashing was about 90% done when I met my husband….so I think that is an important message. Great to hear from a guy for a change! Please keep reading and commenting!
