I love knowing that I am not an insipid cow, but a person with a brain who knows when not to give in to unwise cravings. :)<BR/><BR/>Good luck on set~!Dancing in the Shadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18238530853722893292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3861621932117443599.post-29871216613034592762009-03-05T10:22:00.000-08:002009-03-05T10:22:00.000-08:00Hi!Thanks for the follow... Your blog is absolutel...Hi!<BR/>Thanks for the follow... Your blog is absolutely amazing... I love it. You write so well.<BR/><BR/>I was reading a few posts back and I saw what you said about the paranoia attached to blogging on here and our little highly-visible community, and I relate SO much... I freak out and have panic attacks at the most random moments that my boyfriend or co-workers will find my blog from me leaving a trail or just randomly and KNOW it's me... It's crazy to panic, (I'm always SO careful) but I still do...<BR/><BR/>But anyway... Lovely blog and post.<BR/><BR/>And what I love about ana... It gives me CONTROL. It makes me disciplined. And it makes me feel beautiful in a way that nothing else can.Plum Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17346389870327339369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3861621932117443599.post-52287366565374847112009-03-04T22:45:00.000-08:002009-03-04T22:45:00.000-08:00You're so right....

I th...Thanks for updating your blog so frequently. I think I really understand your relationship with Ana. Ana keeps me balanced. I would be one mean beyotch without her. And amen to the high I feel when I've burned more calories on the elyptical machine than I've eaten in a day. <BR/><BR/>Thin it to win it is my new mantra :-)Lady Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10133205645769913972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3861621932117443599.post-4489145563057414832009-03-04T20:21:00.000-08:002009-03-04T20:21:00.000-08:00Your answer really does help me understand how you...Your answer really does help me understand how you think about ana. You mention that ana allows you to be “a real human.” Do you mean that the rules ana provides give you a structure that helps you function? What are the rules? Are they the same for everyone, or do you develop your own rules? <BR/>Exercise as a drug makes sense to me; I love the feeling too; however, the idea that feeling “empty” could take your anxiety level down is a new concept. I had never thought of it that way before. Mostly, if I don’t eat I just feel angry and irritated. <BR/><BR/>One thing I wonder about is the way that food is used as a way to connect with other people: big family meals, birthday cakes, and special occasions… It’s not all about the food, but the food is definitely a big part of the “togetherness.” If you’re avoiding food, you have to avoid all those things too, right? Or does the fact that you’re feeling anxiety all the time make you want to avoid those things anyway—even without the ana?<BR/><BR/>Again, I appreciate your patience and attention. I really enjoy your insight, clarity and humor. I have to admit though, reading your blog is a little tough for me. I identify with so much of what you’re saying, but I find myself getting nervous if you don’t write for a day or two, especially given your past references to hospitalizations. Sorry. I know you really don’t like this kind of “concern.” Still, it’s tricky because I can see from the way other bloggers comment that they clearly care about you too; the difference is that they share your love of ana. <BR/><BR/>Thanks and have a lovely eve.S.
