Does anyone want to know about the Resurrection Plant? Well if you do, you might not get much from this post. However, to make up for that disappointment, I send gracious greetings to any reader out there, and I also express my wish that in future, the references to viruses and pandemics hereunder seem really, [...]
If those of us in recovery from eating disorders really want to turn the tables on weight, why not put weight on a turntable? Consider the following: Anorexia and Fear of Weight Gain invade a life like Brain Epstein and The Beatles stormed the world of music. (No offense to The Beatles.) Once upon a [...]
Does anyone need part-time employment? Anorexia recovery IS A FULL TIME JOB, with double-shifts. Therefore, if anyone would like to tag along with me on this journey and help me with the baggage, etc., I would appreciate the assistance. The disease debilitated me quite enough over the past 40+ years, and I find myself weary [...]
In Honor of Valentine’s Day: The 14 Best Pop/R&B Stalker Songs of All Time! This list evolved after I heard a certain song in the car while driving in early 2019. I thought, “This is a perfect stalker song.” Of course that thought led me to ponder what other songs might make the list of [...]
What would happen if anorexia detached itself from my brain and sat down with me for an interview? Of course, I would have no interest in asking the disease any questions, because I already know far too well how it would answer. Yet, what if these two entities – anorexia and I – decided to [...]
Does anyone out there in recovery from anorexia nervosa, or from a restrictive eating disorder, have a problem with the term “average”? The etymology of “average” reveals that the word originates from Arabic and, later, French terms meaning “harm to goods.” Way back, in the days when transport of wares depended on seagoing vessels, reimbursement [...]
Why Isn’t Anorexia Recovery More Fun? It should be. Because, if you consider the shift from torture to freedom, freedom looks a lot more desirable. Unfortunately, our brains – not the greater, knowing part, but the day-to-day, functioning part – do not assess the torture as torture, but more as a way of arranging life [...]
So, you are in recovery from anorexia, and you ask the question, “Should I exercise?” If you wonder whether or not you should, chances are very great that you SHOULD NOT exercise. Why do I opine so? Because any wavering in anorexia recovery usually means that you should do the recovery-oriented option, not the anorexic, [...]
DISCLAIMER: Scent presents a very broad topic, so I am quite severely limiting this discourse to much more narrow confines. In fact, I recently looked up something I had remembered from Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury that had to do with a particular scent-related sentence (ow, pun power), and as I skimmed through the [...]
What do you think about the term “binge”? What do you think “binge” means? What would a “binge” look like to you? To me, because the term “binge” connotes all kinds of negativity, I hesitate to use the word, period. However, the word pervades our language in many ways, and I now want to [...]
