And I ag...I'm sorry to hear of your struggles.<br /><br />And I agree completely. I hope that by readings this (and other peoples stories) and more and more people begin to understand that words can HURT. And that these problems can be eased and helped and possibly even erased.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634100350565235034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604439789995820197.post-11973156221060283722014-01-30T02:12:37.053-08:002014-01-30T02:12:37.053-08:00WOW.

Even in my present adult like - I could tell you some very hurtful things that have happened. <br /><br />It's a daily thing. People don't realize that when they say things - how hurtful they can be. It's incredible the psychological anguish.<br /><br />Yeah.<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing this on the #homeschoollinkup, Chrystal. I think this is something everyone needs to hear/read. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15956044918626392909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604439789995820197.post-54096401961521925982014-01-25T13:50:06.661-08:002014-01-25T13:50:06.661-08:00Thank you Renee, this is perhaps the hardest thing...Thank you Renee, this is perhaps the hardest thing I've ever written and I cannot read it over to myself again without crying. It's a problem that I know in my heart can be helped and avoided if only more knew what really happens to people with eating disorders and not just the things that you can see. The mental issues that come with them stick with you for a very very long time. I've been able to not go to the extreme measures to loose weight again but the temptation is always there years since I was pronounced "cured".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634100350565235034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604439789995820197.post-12964295549954282302014-01-25T12:08:16.161-08:002014-01-25T12:08:16.161-08:00Chrystal you are so brave to share your story with...Chrystal you are so brave to share your story with others. It's good really because it would seem as if this problem is becoming more and more prevalent but perhaps isn't talked about enough. Good for you for standing up to your school and letting them know the issue isn't just harmless teasing but rather a problem that can lead to much bigger problems.

And, yet, being the half out of my head tired sleep deprived mamma that I am I completely forgot to comment with how good I thought that it was! My apologies and I'll rectify that first thing in the morning.<br /><br />Thank you for reading it. Sometimes it's hard to "keep it real" especially about something that isn't easy to talk about at all. I'm sorry to hear about your nephew. It is indeed scary how warped the mind can get. Just know that it is a battle he can get through. My prayers with you and your family during this time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634100350565235034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604439789995820197.post-61611909620404501372014-01-23T18:30:15.967-08:002014-01-23T18:30:15.967-08:00Stopping in from #hsbahot linkup.
Thanks for shari...Stopping in from #hsbahot linkup.<br />Thanks for sharing your experience. My teen nephew is dealing with symptoms currently.

I agree that life would be better for all of us if people would just think about how much words can hurt. Those scars stay with you, and unlike physical scares they are rarely seen. I keep fighting my monster and I will never give up the fight. I too refuse to ever say such hurtful remarks to my children ... no matter their weight I love them for who they are not what they look like.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634100350565235034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604439789995820197.post-56330289418809890682014-01-23T12:30:06.787-08:002014-01-23T12:30:06.787-08:00thank you for writing this article.

I have gained and lost so much weight in my life that I can't keep track anymore. I have had physical issues that prevented me from exercising and now I have lost interest. At times, I can still hear my Mom and Dad tell me that I was too fat and that I would be so much prettier if I were thinner. My answer wasn't to stop eating, it was to eat more. Before our daughters were born, I vowed to never tell them they were fat no matter how heavy they got. I tried to make nutritious meals and we had few if any non-healthy snacks. As I sit here and type this and after reading your article, I have tears running down my cheeks. If parents and people would realize that words do hurt and that they can scar a person for life, maybe life would be better for all of us. I am happy to know that you are conquering your monster and working towards a healthy weight and I hope that your children continue to appreciate themselves for who they are and not what they eat.Gini65https://www.blogger.com/profile/07394113148878227640noreply@blogger.com
