I am very proud of you. Sometimes taking care of ourselves is the hardest thing we can do. Looking outwards is so much easier than looking in. Be brave and eat. Eat well, eat healthily. Miss you doll face.

It's easy to tell you to not feel bad or embarrassed about your setback. Your journey seemed extremely short to me when I fist started following you. It made me envious of you, as my ED spanned 10 years. Your ups and downs are something we all can relate to. Particularly the downs. Unexpect the expected. We're with you, Girl. Keep us posted. Your story is more valuable as you take us along. Don't be afraid to speak your truth. Hugs.

You’re amazing for sharing your experience. I am currently at war with myself too...over something as simple and necessary as breakfast...and lunch...and dinner. Ha. Praying for you, and all of us. ❤️

This is brilliant, Julie. I know how insanely difficult and confusing this is but shame-fuelled silence is what feeds the disorder. Speaking out and reaching out is what feeds YOU - so we cant wait to hear anything you wish to share. Sending so much love from a community of cheerleaders 🙌 💛

Very very proud of your strength to continue to seek treatment 💜 I have AUD and the “pick yourself up and try again” is the absolute most difficult thing in the world. Thank you for sharing. 💜
