Double helix, is an 'electric slide' for proteins.  It doesn't strive for perfection. It is what it is, DNA in the process of becoming.

Striving for perfection is a desperate and consuming aspect of living with an eating disorder. If you are in the thick of an eating disorder you know that finding fault with yourself is a constant issue.

 You may not even know that you are striving for perfection because your perceived faults, especially in the mirror, are overwhelming. 

In the early years of my eating disorder recovery work the emotional pain I experienced was intolerable.  Yet I had to tolerate it to heal.  I was in therapy three times a week.  I went to 12 step meetings every day and sometimes three times a day if the days were bad.  I did physical, emotional and psychological exercises that people told me had helped them.  I was on the phone with outreach calls - both calling and being called.  I worked every avenue of recovery I learned about, some more helpful than others.

One of the ways that assured me and helped me build a base from which to recover I want to share with you on a regular basis via this blog. I hope you follow along and participate as much and as often as you like.

Being stuck in routines, whether from a psychological need, like the deep reasons for an eating disorder, or from habits born of necessity and continued beyond their original need, limit our lives.  We can't see beyond those limits.  We miss opportunities in the world.  We fail to discover treasures within our minds, hearts and souls. Often we are so

What are your feelings - the ones your eating disorder numbs out or buries with obsessive thinking and compulsive eating?  How on earth is it possible to answer such a question without bringing up feelings you can't bear?
