post the first :)

A twenty-almost-five year old who has a pretty good handle on who she is, I am more than just a woman who has struggled with an ED. I have many interests and passions that range from everything artistic (including collaging, painting, writing and everything hollywood), to shopping, to spending an insane amount of time with my dog Rascal.
I have lived and battled an Eating Disorder since I was roughly 12 years old. Not to mention a number of personality disorders piled on top of that. Its really a case of chicken and egg as to which came first, but I whichever did, I am proud to say that I am facing BOTH head on and most days I think I am winning the war against them both!
I spent the first 25 years of my life never reaching a number on my scale that would terrify me only to learn (through countless hours of treatment at Toronto General Hospital), that the number, the one I never wanted to reach, was what was holding me from happiness.
I have learned so much in my short months at treatment and my not-so-long-life, and I often hear from friends that my advice and stories not only entertain, but prove to be rather helpful.
And hence, my blog.
These are my stories, my struggles, and the wisdoms of strength that help me to survive my life.
