Oh, mercy sakes, you two beautiful souls!!I I have waited for something like this for so long....I seriously thought I was alone. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I've gone from leaving a store in tears, mortified because I left a puddle, to being able to go to customer service and tell them "clean-up on aisle 4!" and they get it. They get it because I had to get honest. Flipping hard, man. But oh, what a relief! (the honesty, not the puddle!) When I had gave birth to my now 17 year-old, the doctor punctured my spinal cord with the epidural, resulting spinal adhesive arachnoiditis, which shares so many symptoms with MS. Doctors describe it as "The pain of cancer without the relief of death" sounds like a party, right? So consider me a gimpy sister in this journey. :) I lost my vanity, that is for sure. It is tough, but I lean on my charm. Ha! I can look at the bad and stay in the pain, and that's okay....I just can't sit on the pity pot so long that I get a ring around my ass. :) :) I'm even working on a book I might not finish...."Does This Wheelchair Make My Butt Look Big?!!" (I'll probably nod off every three paragraphs, but there you have it.

Thank you so much for this episode. Before there was heroin chic there was Twiggy and the super thin craze. Being thin meant being successful. All the measures you talked about brought back memories of that time and the ones I resorted to, to lose weight - the Atkins Diet (60 grams/day but I often tried to get it as close to 0 as possible) and obsessive exercise! When my periods stopped for 9 months I was thrilled as I didn't have any "fat" days. I was one of the lucky ones. When I was 18 an appendicitis attack and surgery; the horrified reactions nurses had upon seeing my body, "snapped me out of it" in that I wanted to be healthy (I realized that I was not healthy in body nor mind). This was going to be a life-long commitment because I was able to finally identify the "demon" that Christina talked about. The journey hasn't been easy as so little was known about what I was experiencing. Only when Karen Carpenter's story came to light and the name anorexia was mentioned did I realize that, that was what I'd been dealing with. To this day I have to bring awareness to what it takes for me to...not exactly feel good "about" myself because this often relies on meeting a certain level of approval from those outside oneself or on how one imagines others, view us...but to feel "myself". From my late 20's to early 40's I was an artist's model. I had been on the other side of the easel and was able to see that all bodies are beautiful. It was a very healing experience for me. Women often asked, "what do you do on days when you feel fat?" To which I'd say, "then I stand there and be fat." But here's the most amazing thing that my figure drawing instructor told me... People see you 50-50. 50% of their perception is the real body that is standing before them. 50% is all about how they perceive themselves which is for the most part pretty dang critical and negative. The brain has a bias for the negative. So when you feel that people are "judging" you, realize that it's coming from their own demons. I wish I'd had this episode to listen to when I was a young woman and I hope it gets shared widely with young girls and women but also anyone of any gender who is struggling to understand and accept themselves. Thanks again.

Christina Let me just say how incredibly sorry I am for your loss. People who have not lost function often can't relate. Grief is an unrelenting companion, I've sat with him before. I pray God may assuage the anguish of your loss and bring you peace and hope. Love is powerful. It will see you through. Love has the power, to make the weakest man tower, to make the strongest man cower, there is no end to its power, love is a fire, whose flames reach higher and higher, love burns with endless desire, to see us home. Hang tough sister

I try and eat healthy, I eat oatmeal w/out artificial sweetener. I choose to put a teaspoon of natural peanut-butter, half a sliced banana, and a teaspoon of blueberries, let fruit be the sweetener.

Nomination. THANK you! My words get switched around. I needed that laugh. During my divorce I had coffee, an apple, and cigarettes until I was down to an unhealthy skeletal weight because I could control it. I gained nearly 100 pounds after my diagnosis. I didn't look in mirrors still don't like an average woman. I lost the weight slowly and safely. I have been exercising regularly for 2 years. My doctors are very happy with my weight now. I see loose skin. People are cruel. We are the toughest on ourselves. I know I cannot have coffee past finishing breakfast or I will be in the bathroom for a long time. New favorite card.

I've been up and down weight wise my whole life. I've only managed to become thin by starving. I don't think it's my natural state. I lived on Tab and cigarettes throughout high school and my 20's.
