Starve Your Doubts, Not Your Emotions!



My school-girl look with the pigtails, glasses, stripes, and a fun attitude!

Oh wow, I am SO happy I went to the counselor! It's unbelievable how much we relate! She had an eating disorder for (if I remember correctly) ten years of her life. That's actually why she became a counselor; she really got help from other counselors when she was trying to recover. Oh, and I should mention for the heck of it that she is beautiful! And so good at counseling. She told me something that really made sense to me after I mentioned that I never have liked showing my emotions: "One reason why many have an eating disorder is that they attempt to starve their emotions and not have to worry about it." It reminded of this mug I have that says, "Starve your doubts" and I kinda like that. Starve your doubts, not your emotions! I think that will be my "motto" now. So whenever my old motto ("food doesn't satisfy") pops in my head, I can think about my new one. I really enjoyed my time with her, and honestly I wanted to keep talking to her after it was time to say goodbye. But we are going to see each other once every two weeks, which seems great! In the meantime, I have been going on her site and reading many inspirational "articles" she's written. Which, by the way, I normally do not like; I find them boring, but not hers!

In other news, my dog (Bonnie) had gotten poisoned badly. She had no appetite, had no energy, was vomiting, and was panting excessively. That's my girl; if anything happens to her, I get extremely sad and worried. She is the sweetest dog and I love her so much! But thankfully, she seems to be getting back to her old self after a few days. You do not know how happy and relieved I am!
