If others made it, you can do it
This is an article from Hollywood life about Demi Lovato.
Demi Lovato has
come a long way. After going
to rehab for an eating disorder and being diagnosed
with bipolar disorder, today, the X Factor judge is healthy,
strong and learning about herself every day.
Demi has found a great support system in
new friends that “have more interests than wanting to go to clubs and get
wasted.”
“I’ve spent the past two years getting over
an eating disorder and issues like self-harming and bipolar disorder. Unlike a
person who doesn’t have these problems, I have to work on this stuff every day.
I’m reminded of that whenever I eat or feel down.”
Demi is so strong – every
single day she struggles, but is working hard to become more
confident. ”Mean comments don’t affect me the same way [the used to]
because I’m more confident. If I read something where someone calls me a b*tch,
I know I’m not, so I laugh at it.”
Demi continues to speak out for young girls
who struggle with their image. “I want girls to know that it’s OK when they
grow up and their body changes. I want them to be aware that certain things
they might do to lose weight can be dangerous — life-threatening, even.”
It definitely takes effort, but Demi is
willing to put in the time to help herself and others. ”You can choose to
work towards happiness or not. I used to expect it to come to me, but it takes
more than seeing a therapist once a week. I make time for myself and meditate.”

Recovery takes time
I am not a nutritionist, I am not a psicologist and I am not a doctor. But hopefully, you will be able to relate to this and find it usefull.
You probably know how it starts, at first it doesn't look like something you should worry about. " I'm fine" "It's my body, leave me alone" "It all starts very gently.
One day you become conscient about it, you asssume you have a problem but you still have it under control, nothing's wrong, you're not like those girls in the pictures where you can only see the bones and the cuts.
Next thing you know is that you do have and eating disorder but Who cares? You know it's wrong, but it's working. Except one day you realize how far you've come and it starts scaring you because you wish you could eat normally, you want to stop starving yourself but you're terrified of getting fat again. And that's when you start fighting against ED's.
First of all, you need to get something in your mind: it's not your fault! DO NOT BLAME YOURSELF!
There's nobody to blame, noone is guilty.
You already acomplished one of the most important steps to recovery: the "wanting to". And this is crucial because you must want it so bad that no matter how many times you fail and how hard it will be, you will NEVER GIVE UP. And you will try again. Recovery is not magical, it will take time. You must learn to feal comfortable about yourself, you need to truly believe that you are nothing less than beautiful.
The next step you need to take is the "coming out", telling people about your goal. It doesn't matter if you tell your best friend, your online friends or someone else but you need to convince yourself and have support. Get help!
What you have to do next is eliminate your support network, get rid of all the pro-ana and mia blogs, "thinspiration", unfollow the twitter accounts, the forums and everything that may bring negative thoughts again. It will feel easier and you won't have to resist temptation from the others while you're already fighting against yourself. Then try looking for something that inspires you, a passion, a hobby, find a motivation, listen to happy music, search inspirational quotes. Anything that makes you want to go on.
Finally, you must slowly have a rebalancing diet.
