March 31, 2010 eating disorders

A while ago, I received a call out of the blue from Ted. If you recall from this post, Ted is an old friend of mine, a mentally disordered guy with whom I used to do bible study. He was also a key factor in yanking me away from my eating disorder to true recovery. [...]

The Difference Between Obsession and Passion

March 22, 2010 eating disorders

Did you know I used to dream of being an artist? Of course, I also wanted to be a lawyer, a Special Education teacher, a president, a chef, and a number of other things, but I was actually quite serious about art. In fact, I had a genuine passion in art, and I don’t mean [...]

Gloriously Unproductive Day

March 20, 2010 blog meet-up

Where oh where has the week flown by? I feel like it was just a few minutes ago that I was celebrating the start of Spring Break. But before I knew it, time has whooshed past, and I’m stuck with the same amount of work left to do, but a quarter of the time left [...]
