I am not my eating disorder.
This week, February 26 through March 3, is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week. It’s about bringing public attention to eating disorders and the prominent impact they have in our society.

Permission
Confession: During my first four months on staff at TWLOHA, I mostly cried when I wasn’t at work. (And, sometimes, even when I was.) It wasn’t TWLOHA’s fault that I wasn’t okay. I should have been perfectly happy: I had a job in a difficult economy; I worked for a cause I believed in; I had people who loved me back home and people around me who were ready to continue the friendships I started...

caitgeary:
My bones ache and I feel like my hip flexors have turned to bricks. My back hurts from leaning forward to better listen and I’ve drank way too much caffeine within the past 30+ hours. I love it. This could’ve possibly been one of the most exhausting weekends I’ve had in a while. Forget the four day swim meets; driving, setting up, eating, listening. talking. sharing. explaining,...
You Will Be OK, I Promise.
