Re: For Chrisb1 and others :)

Hi Nadia,

Your post was excellent. I totally agree with you. As you may recall I was diagnosed with ED only by this forum and not the medical professionals some time ago. Even if the forum was right and I do have it, I knew I was getting bad advice by people on the forum trying to make me think that I should not fast. I was getting too many benefits from fasting and I hear my God asking me to fast. Having said that I realize that, it was probably my fault as I think I gave the forum the wrong impression of me when I joined the forum. I had just broken a short fast with binge eating. I think people thought that was something I do after every fast and on a regular basis. Having read many fasting stories I find that this has happened to many others. When this happens I don't believe we should give up but rather learn from the mistake and go forward with what is right. I was very miserable the day I joined this forum because of the binge. I was so upset with myself that I called myself a glutton to the highest degree. Now that I have had a chance to think it thru I figure what else could I expect when I introduced myself like that? I have not broken a fast with binge eating like that since. I pray that I will not ever forget the misery of it. In spite of the fight I have benefited from reading the forum. The main person who fought me actually helped me quite a bit by posting some excellent nutritional posts for eating in between fasts. That was an amazing turn around so you just never know what the outcome of a thing will be. I am so happy for you.
