I'm back!

:hugon :bowl :hugoff

I am back from a wonderful seven week trip, backpacking around Australia. I spent the time with just myself and then my best friend, whom I met there and it was the most incredible seven weeks of my entire life.

With all those long, tiring aeroplane and bus trips I managed to FINALLY have some time to do a little soul searching. And I think it did me good because I've sorted out some things that were bothering me for a long time. It's really difficult, but I am trying.

I thought alot about the :bowl, especially over the Christmas period, which is such a difficult time when one has an eating disorder. My eating disorder hasn't improved whilst I've been away. It's always just there and it's the one thing I can't seem to kick. I am trying to build up some form of a self esteem, spend more time worrying about me and not other people, but I can't get rid of bulimia. It's always there.

I hope everyone is doing well - I missed you guys so much as well as posting here! You have no idea how this board helps, until you're away from it!

Love
Lisa
