Smile Just popped by to say hello...

Hey everyone, how are you all?
I've just had a look at all your replies to my 'farewell' message in August and was very moved to see so many of you with good things to say about me. It made me feel great!

Things have been quite tricky lately, but I do have some good news to share... I've been offered a new job in September 2003 with a fantastic law firm who are going to train me as their junior lawyer... If everything goes to plan I will be a qualified solicitor by the time I'm 26!!
Feels good to be back on track again, i really need something to aim for.
The ED is better I think... but it seems to be changing. I don't purge as much as I used to but I'm a little worried that I have been successfully restricting my intake. There is a battle in my head between the part of me that wants to be thin and beautiful, and the part that just wants to eat 'normally' and be healthy. I am loosing weight and although it makes me happy, it also worries me... I guess some of you can identify with that.

I've been thinking about moving home to stay with my parents for a while. It isn't a perfect solution because I haven't lived with them for so long. I was in care for a while... a 'dysfunctional' family shall we say. But it would mean that I couldn't b/p so easily, and think of the money in rent and bills
that i would save!

That's about all i have to report i guess. I'm just plodding along, trying my best to survive. I will be working at this office until March I think, which means I have internet access and can read all your posts.

I hope you are all as happy as possible.
I'm now gonna post my details on your "introduce ourselves" post Ashlee.

With a whole lot of love, 9volt.xx

It's soooooooooo good to hear from you again!!!! I'm so glad that you're doing well, congrats on EVERYTHING that's going well in your life. I'm so happy for you!!

Living with your parents is a huge step...I hope that works out well for you!! (hehe, for me, living with my parents is just making me sicker, I think...)

Your happy post just made my day. Hope you're still feeling great. And it's wonderful to have your back again.

G’day, 9Volt!

It’s great to hear from you again!

I’m glad all the messages to you from August made you feel better.

CONGRATULATIONS on the job!!! That’s awesome news! Well done with that!

I’m also glad to hear that your ED seems to be slowly getting better. Please take care not to slip into anorexia – try NOT restricting AT ALL, and slowly cutting down on the purging and you’ll see that you won’t gain as much weight, as most of the eating disordered believe they will.

It’s good to hear how will things are going for you – you DO deserve a break from that terrible ED!

Take care and good luck!
Ashlee
