But why blog?

I was actually thinking - with R Harlow B's fab post on "reasons to be thin" - what other people's reasons were for blogging? Personally, I find it's totally cathartic. I can get off my chest the things I can't for fear of people accusing me of being ana.

You guys are also so supportive. You have so many tips and are so motivational!! I was a reader long before I became a blogger

Also my blog is a place where I can put down exactly what I eat and it's not easily found... what if I wrote it down and someone found the paper? They'd just be like "Oh but you're not eating enough at all!" when really it's clearly what I need to maintain/lose a little weight. Otherwise I'd literally be dead, no? And of course, weight loss is meant to be increased if you keep a food diary ;)

So hit me back - why do you blog? Stay skinny!

yeah i know exactly how you feel when you blog. it just takes all your horrible feeling inside and allows them to bubble over onto the blog itself. so relieving...

i blog because i have no one to talk to.

plus i don't want anyone around me to think i'm crazy.

i know i do a lot of things that in blogger land everyone understands and does as well but if a non ED person found out they'd be like wtf.

how i live is normal to me, i've been like this for so long, but i realize its not normal! lol.

I blog because what I want to scream to the people around me I can't. I feel so much more at ease when I've blogged about something that has really annoyed me. And to have people reading that honestly know how I'm feeling is a bonus, it makes me feel less alone and is a place where I can just be my real self.
