Dear PTC, Your response is yet another wake up call for me. There is so much to say about the intricacies of eating disorders and their effect on a life. From your post I see that I need to write about the restricting stories that involve sexuality. They are equally intense but play out differently. A sense of safety through restricting can be an illusion. As always, thank you for your comments, PTC. You add value to the conversation and inspire me to delve more into the ramifications of living with an eating disorder as well as writing about the recovery path.
