I think I'm going to start thinking about it in the same way I'd think about a Christmas present. It might be especially important to remember this while I've just poked it through my sinus canal and am inching it down my throat - right at the time it hits my gag reflex is usually when I cough and break some blood vessels in my eyes, and sometimes throw it back up.

You never were a quitter, well, from what I know of you. Trust everyone around you, Brie. Your mom and dad, your sisters, your brothers, Brandon, the friends that see you often, your therapist, your dietitian. Trust those who speak with truth and honesty into your situation, that you need more nutrients. Try, try, try to believe them, and when you can't, just love them to death for believing and encouraging you! You have a strong support system already in place and many don't even have that. I feel so relieved that there are others out there and around you who can help you through this physically, emotionally, mentally, and even spiritually. Getting "better" isn't just about gaining the weight..you know that...it's so much more. Grasp onto the faith of those around you and will yourself believe as well...that you CAN beat this.Heather Lindquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03995439065551579432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957758174408171291.post-4548736866529405062008-09-25T19:43:00.000-06:002008-09-25T19:43:00.000-06:00Brie, I am glad you are doing what you need to do ...Brie, I am glad you are doing what you need to do to get healthy.
