I've also struggled with an eating disorder for many years and that's originally why I started reading your blog in the beginning. Even though you don't share as much about that part of your life anymore (which I completely understand), I'm still so interested in what's going on in your life & I get excited to read any new posts you put on your blog. I hope you can be strong enough to know that even if some people are making negative comments regarding your decision to back away from more of the eating disordered "world", if it's what is best for you right now, that's all that matters. I know it still stings for people to say the things they're saying, but the only thing that's important for you in your recovery, is you and your family....it's your time to be selfish and have it be okay. Just know that your blog, regardless of what the topic is on any given day, helps people. Whether it's helping them by putting a smile on their face, making them laugh, letting them know they aren't alone, giving a mom a parenting tip, or just giving someone a little piece of hope, it's helping so many people. Thanks for all you do and all the fight you've put in through your life to overcome so much! I look up to you!<br /><br />Take care,<br />AnitaAnitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243243905601173453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957758174408171291.post-12820975401032734082012-03-27T02:40:40.573-06:002012-03-27T02:40:40.573-06:00I'm also glad you didn't go private, I wou...I'm also glad you didn't go private, I would miss you.

I wanted to reach through the computer screen and give a big hug. <br />You sure are blessed to have a wonderful husband and some great friends and family in your life. I hope you always remember that and remember that the sun always rises the next day.<br />I'm so glad you haven't made your blog private, and I feel totally selfish for thinking that. I know Ive said it before but I love reading your blog, it really does help me and it makes me want to start my own blog to share my story. But I completely understand wanting to go private. <br />You are a true inspiration. and I hope today was a much better day.Liz Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753886935648800089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957758174408171291.post-38093464403702602402012-03-26T12:52:37.260-06:002012-03-26T12:52:37.260-06:00So glad you kept us.

I'm also fortunate that you have the presence of mind to reflect on the good. You have always had the ability to look at things humorously when things are going wrong (me too) but there is some growth and maturity in being able to look at the things that are really truly good in those moments. I know for me at least my ability to use these skills has increased the more that I am truly in a good place. <br /><br />I love your blog and I'm glad I will continue to be able to read about all of your shenanigans and deep life lessons :) Thanks for all you share with us, Brie!Sarah at Journeying With Himhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00823110479188213370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957758174408171291.post-55962536737674845562012-03-26T07:42:20.501-06:002012-03-26T07:42:20.501-06:00Hi-ya Brie,

I keep coming back to it every single day, and it is not just because you are so inspiring in your recovery, it is more than that. You have a magnetic personality, you are so funny and so real and so honest and I love your serious posts as well. I have not found another blog that I want to visit so often. But of course if you decide to go private that is the best decision for you and although I will miss your updates dearly, I will be glad that it is the best for you.pohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711119384786965311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957758174408171291.post-65396817863765546142012-03-26T00:57:27.376-06:002012-03-26T00:57:27.376-06:00Chin up and keep on keepin on :).

So much better than holding it in or using behaviors to numb the feelings, so kudos to you. It is an amazing feeling to know that you have friends and family who will support you through the difficult times. Having blog friend support is always nice to! <br /><br />Take care, and I hope tomorrow is a better day :-)Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05748840293468845389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957758174408171291.post-79029193023488306302012-03-25T23:01:50.255-06:002012-03-25T23:01:50.255-06:00Days like that are no fun...

I can relate a lot to your last few posts and I am so grateful that you're willing to keep sharing with me (uhh, us.. haha). Honestly, you make me want to keep writing in my blog cause I know how helpful you've been to me and I only hope that I can be marginally as helpful to others. Crying days suck, but they make you really appreciate the good days.
