S2 E18 Real TalkTuesday... Some TidBits of Truth

Real Talk Tuesdays are when I tell some thing about my life, a story about raising my children, all 6 of them...

The craziness of such a large family, the things they did that I am amazed they survived...

And some truths about my life that I very seldom discuss...

Out of fear of being judged, out of embarrassment, out of pain or regret or denial...

And that is exactly why I have to tell the stories from my past that have shaped me into who I am...

The good, the bad and the truly horrific.

Today I talk about eating disorders. 

I was anorexic for 3 years. I nearly died from a bleeding ulcer at age 17 because of it. 

I weight 98 pounds and still thought I was fat, ugly and unlovable... because the person who I loved ,and who claimed to love me, told me all those things.

I learned what love was, and more importantly, what love was not. 

The hard way. 

But, that is a story for another day...

Today....If you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder please contact a health care professional
