It is not a sudden leap from sick to well. It is a slow, strange meander from sick to mostly well. The misconception that eating disorders are a medical disease in the traditional sense is not helpful here. There is no ‘cure’. A pill will not fix it, though it may help.

I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, `May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen.

This is me. I'm a lover. I'm a fighter. I don't care enough and I care way too much. I often get consumed in things that I shouldn't. I love college basketball. I love NASCAR and dirt racing. I listen to music by bands others have never even heard of. I love to sing loudly in my car. I will do anything for my friends.
