I don't remember how I came across your blog, but I want you to know that I am struggling with giving my tools away too, and even though I am not you and don't know your exact feelings, what you have written and often write parallels with the struggles that I have. So, from a fellow struggler - someone who struggles with their relationship with God, with self-injury, with getting help and helping myself - I'm reading and praying that you find courage and joy in something today even if it is something small.

Gluten-free would be tough for me, too. I'm not sure what RSD is, but I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease, and she's finding the switch to be challenging as well. I find that when I stop drinking soda for a period of time (even for, say, 3 weeks) that I lose the taste for it. The only soda I drink is Diet Coke (I don't even like Diet Pepsi), and I go through periods of "Diet Coke Detox" (I seriously call it that). Why I go <i>back</i> to drinking it, who knows... One more question for you :-) What do you crochet? Well good luck! Gluten-free would be tough for me, too.

I like how your entry discusses changing and modifying goals because that is very important. The caffeine thing isn't a big deal to me, as I have found myself alternating between caffeine and no caffeine for years. I don't drink coffee, rather soda and sometimes tea. I'm a big soda drinker, however not drinking it at work will eliminate a good chunk of time where I would have the OPPORTUNITY to drink it -- therefore reducing my consumption. I still let myself drink soda when I'm home, yet I have noticed a decreased interest in it. I was drinking it for energy, but I don't usually NEED the energy when I'm home and drinking a soda first thing in the morning doesn't sit well on my stomach (so no worries about not having caffeine in the morning). The gluten-free part is absolutely the hardest, as my body is rebelling!! I crave complex carbs and have yet to fingure our exactly how to eat. I'm learning how to read labels and I'm striving to eat foods with less ingredients, therefore are less processed.

I just wrote a whole post on that. Good for you :-) Are you starting all of these at the same time? Personally, I know that I couldn't start drinking more water, stop drinking coke, and eliminate all caffeine at my diet at the same time. Maybe I could start replacing my coffee with tea (which I would consider water) and then gradually replace each coke with something non-sodaish... but if I did all of this January 1st, I would definitely have a (caffeine) headache!

It would be silly of me to say something along the lines of.."I hope you're alright" I guess, besides I suppose that's pretty standard - Evidently you're not "alright".... So really, I don't know what to say. But I wanted you to know that you have obviously left an impression on me, hence my thinking of you today. Meh, I ramble, so I do. Stay safe, Cassandra. ((Gentle hugs)) You know I was given an afghan today & funnily enough, I thought of you.

I really want the public to know that we're not all crazy 'pro-ana' chicks who tell people how to 'become anorexic'. A lot of us actually hate the term 'ana' or 'mia'. I personally can't stand these 'tips' because in my opinion, it's the same as giving someone tips on how to get AIDS. An eating disorder is an illness and the girls who squeal about 'Ana' being their BFFE frustrate me to no end. I have an eating disorder.
