It is still the message of love for many of us. You know that eating can take away that awful, almost constant feeling of aloneness. That for just a few moments you will feel connected to something. There is something missing in your life and you need to find it. Food seems to provide the road map to that missing part, so you take it again and again, only to reach the same dead end.
Every day is a struggle.
No one else seems to understand. The experts say that this behavior, this desire to starve yourself is caused by the media images you see. You know that those stick skinny women in the movies and on TV feel just the way you do. Oh, of course they say they starve themselves so that they can get and keep their jobs, but that's just a cover. Does anyone really believe that they are going to tell what's really in their hearts.
