overcome the illness
really. Not to promote it at all.. Thats terrible that people

can think that
*shudder* No thankfully i dont have that disease.


In that case, how come you say the following in your auction?

"The Counting Bracelet is wonderful if you are trying to keep
track of your calories dureing the day. There are 20 larger
sized beads, meaning if your trying to keep under 1000
calories, for every 50 calories that you eat, you may then move
the charm over one bead. (If your trying to stick to under 500
calories then each bead represents 25 calories."

To me, if you were supportive of those trying to overcome the
disease you would want them to try to keep *over* 1000
calories. Why on earth would anyone want to "stick under 500
calories" unless they were anorexic?

At times yes. Working out makes me hungry so I will eat. I haven't had any
major problems or issues in years. Just little slips whenever everything is
completely CRAZY. Then I get right back on track. No Problems.

I am really happy now. I am sorting a lot out, but all for the better.
Everything is on the up and up!

Not TMI and I think you are right, it's a control issue.

Sending you strength...I'm sure every day has it's own challenges.

Hugs out Amy. My mom is a recovering anorexic too. She, like you,
forgets to eat when she is under any kind of stress. She ended up in
hospital last winter for 2 months because she had had a stomach bug so
she stopped eating....for two weeks. Her metabolism and nutrition went
to pot and she ended up with pneumonia. I have the opposite issue, I
overeat when I am stressed. But we're both doing better, she is up to
111 lbs (from 92, and she is 5'8") and I am back under 200 lbs (YAY!).

Totally! 2100 calories a day is normal for maintaining a healthy
weight.

So you can count calories and missed meals on the ANA bracelets, how do
you mark purging on the MIA bracelets?

the 500 calories, is a lot more than what many are eating as it is, so by
upping it to 500 its a better plan, that having 100 - 200 cals. Many people
i know through the support group my friend went to before she passed away,
see them as a step in the recovery.

Barbara, thank you for the condolences, its really difficult. But i souround
myself with many kind people that care, and it helps :-)

I guess it is one of those things that can be used positively or
negatively.

I don't think it's TMI; I think it's awesome that you can talk about it,
and I hope that it helps others to hear of your winning battle. It takes
a lot of strength to fight an eating disorder.

Being a former Ana. It is hard and you want to keep it a secret. I can't
imagine wanting praise for what you are doing. I constantly felt like crap
and for some reason enjoyed that. When things start getting out of control
eating is one thing you can control. Once I cried for two hours trying to
make myself eat a pop tart. I think Ana has more to do with depression and
control than anything to do with eating. I often will find my self slipping
back into non-eating. I just don't think about it. So I can see where a
person might want a reminder to eat.

OK my two cents. Probably TMI (too much info)

OK, I understand better now. There is a LOT of underground support for
people to maintain anorectic behavior, and I feared that your auctions
were part of that. I'm VERY GLAD they're not... but you might specify
that more clearly in the auctions, as practicing anas might buy your
bracelets imagining a kind of support that is opposite your intent.
