I'm too afraid to tell my parents, sister and boyfriend that I'm falling back into my eating disorder. This morning my boyfriend wrote me a letter talking about how proud he is that I'm not sick anymore. I could only smile. — Asked by Anonymous

I’m no expert on these things, and I’m not one to be giving advice on a broad range of topics, but I think if you really want to beat this, and be healthy you need to tell someone who’s in your real life whom you can be accountable to, and then try and get some form of treatment. People obviously care for you, which is a huge advantage to getting well. The people in your life, your parents, bf, etc., are there to be your support. Don’t let your shame (or pride) of falling back hold you back from being the healthy person that you want to be.
