Supportive Folks All Around

As I still struggle and continue to work towards recovering from the eating disorder, it is always somehow surprising, yet really nice to get support.  Got one of those great emails from a good friend that was one of my riding buddies when I lived back in the DC/Northern Virginia area; haven’t spoken to in months.  But true and good friends are always there.  Some of the email is posted below.   Reminds me how many people have gone out of their way to help me..I welcome the chance to help others (and return the favor)

 

Hey –

Thanks for writing back and sharing some of the news. Sounds like you have your hands full.

Please let us know when you come East. We were hoping to catch you on our Colorado trip but knew it was going to be tough. We had a darn good time climbing the passes but didn’t like all the miles in between — there are flat highways with trucks here in Va!

You take care of the demons. Put them in a box … cupcakes come in nice boxes… You have been very brave in opening up, sharing your experiences and facing them head on these past few years. You’ve earned it.

Eat smart, train smart, heckle folks like “super girl” from a few years ago, be nice to hubby, tell the mirror “I look goooood,” repeat…
