Dear XXX,
You have made me really sad. No, it wasn’t the 2nd dessert bar you ate, or the not going to the gym for the 3rd day in a row….it was the wish that you wished for when your daughter said that she was wishing on a shooting star tonight. Out of everything in this world, and any wish that you could wish for, you said to yourself (us), “I wish I was skinny”.
What a very empty wish.
I just feel very sad. You are such a “in depth” person but you can be so mindlessly shallow. It’s actually ED who’s making you like that. That’s what ED does to you. He takes a complete whole person and strips them of any dignity. Please stop letting ED treat you like this any longer. You aren’t being fair to me. I do so much for you and instead of wishing on your daughter’s star for happiness, peace, health or love for not only you but for your family, you completely threw away a perfectly good wish. I hear myself shaming you so I am going to quit. I don’t want to hurt you like you hurt me tonight.
Your Body.
This is a beautiful concept...you bring so much insight to the world of Eating Disorders. Best of luck to you on your pursuit of healing, as a counselor I know the road to recovery is only understood by those who have walked it. I pray that God gives you the strength to heal...and to loved the body he has given you. Thanks for your thoughts.
