AN, Old Friend

AN, Old Friend

AN, my old friend, how have you been? It seems ages since when I saw you last. Thought maybe you had forgotten about me, discarded like an old cast.

How good it feels to have your strangling embrace long after your absence fell. Your old room deep inside is empty and waiting for you to reside again.

Yes, I've been away too, busy keeping up with other things to do. As you know how much time of mine you take when you show up like a lost and lonely pup.

There’s nothing to do, but take you in again of course.

I’m glad that you came AN as I've been tipping the scales again. When last we spoke all was well as the numbers were slipping.

It was then I sent you away claiming I could continue on my own accord. I could not have been further from the truth I see, for only with you can I be that free.

Without remorse I let you in to begin to repair all the ground we had lost. It’s good to have a friend that knows me as well as you do whose words never grow moss.

Fresh and inviting every time I feel your place, I can’t help but fall for your spell. There is no rebelling against you my friend, we've seen and done too much together to ever be separated again.

No one can understand you and I like we do, feeding on each other’s strengths. To underestimate at what length you would travel to get to me would be a folly to believe.

Well, get settled in my old Friend AN. I’m sure you’ll find everything where you left it. I just couldn’t bring my self to accept that you were truly gone.

“Don’t worry,” I heard your Voice say, “It won’t be long before AN is back in your possession.”

I’ll leave you to unpack the few tools you brought to add to your collection since you’ve been away. To my dismay and maybe your horror, we’ve got a lot of catching up to do.

I have not weighed, but only spied our reflection in the mirror. Quite frankly, I see the fat all over the place; covering my limbs and especially my face.

Only with your help AN can I undo what I’ve done. You are much stronger than me and it’s a job bigger than I can take for goodness sake.

I’ll see you later after you rest from your travels. When you wake you’ll have the strength to hold me tight and whisper stories in my ear.

Stories of long ago and faraway places where name and faces have been forgotten will be your themes to bide the time and lull my mind into a much needed deep and dreamless sleep.

Adieu for now,  Old Friend AN.     

Anorexia Live or Die with LIMU

Anorexia: Live or Die with LIMU

The Eating Disorder Anorexia can live or die by LIMU juice ingestion daily.

I've often talked about “killing” off the illness Anorexia by using LIMU juice as a beneficial dietary supplement if used every day in addition to healthy meals and snacks, preferably on a schedule.

I've avoided the Pro ANA side of the equation as my main and primary goal of using this product was to Overcome Anorexia 2BRecoverED and living with a healthy weight and mind. I actively sought to recover and continue to work on improving my overall health to combat this disease. I discourage the effects of Anorexia by refueling and re-supplying my Nutrient stores daily with the juice.

However, the other day I slipped for the 1^st time in quite a few weeks and did not eat for the whole day until I had a meal replacement shake at bedtime. There were moments throughout the day that I reminded my Self that I had not eaten yet, but quickly pushed that thought out of my head and continued to busy My self.

I am reminded of when I began LIMU.

 I remember the “good” old familiar feeling that an empty stomach and feelings that AN provided.

Having lived off the LIMU alone before, knowing the medical research and consequences of such an action, I am confident that AN is a double sided coin that can shine on both sides.

ORIGINAL LIMU juice, a Kosher product, has only 7 calories per 1 ounce, 70+ Nutrients and Fucoidan! Each serving is like drinking a full meal – without the calories, the bulkiness of the food, the digestion or elimination problems all associated with the malnourished Anorexic.

We are told 2BRecoverED that we need to eat 6 times a day ~ that’s three meals and three snacks every single day.  

With this juice, 4 meals are covered with a Total of only 28 calories! A banana for lunch and a few almonds at night and my body has everything it needs to survive and Live With my AN.

At 40 years old and in Recovery for only 5 with LIMU, my AN and me seem to be quite inseparable. There are parts of the Anorexia that are positive for those who live with this illness. If a person is diagnosed and treated early, I believe the outcome would be different for the personality of the person as a whole.

The Major drawback of living the Pro AN lifestyle is of course the Extreme weight loss and body damage.  At some point in every AN’s life, there Is a perfect spot where body and mind enjoy each other. Yes, to the outside the body is excruciatingly thin, and the person perceives that if the lifestyle is left to extend, then death will occur.

When the two worlds meet at a “happy camping ground” shall I say,  the Body at it’s limits and the mind is settled, it is kind of euphoric. So the Pro AN lifestyle seems a logical place to stay at.

This is where “The Juice” comes in real handy!

“I don’t want to die but I want to Live in this state of Anorexia.”

I now can if I choose to.

28 easy, tasty, liquid calories spread out over 4 times a day with a handful of food a couple of times.

This eliminates the indecision and anxiety that comes from trying to figure out what to eat. There is no more worry about the health of my organs and blood due to lack of nutrients. Gone is the guilt and shame of not feeding the body I live in.  Feel good about the choice to live Pro AN. Get to enjoy the taste of tropical delight with ease of swallowing and digestion. The fighting forces of the opposing mind can come to a truce and allow this small amount of juice to pass into the body to do it’s work.  

As long as the Body and mind do not suffer the consequences of the Pro AN lifestyle, then what would be so bad about choosing this way to live vs a “normal eater”?

 As far as the blood, bones, organs and tissues that make up the body are concerned, if enough Nutrients are digested, then everything will work properly at whatever weight we choose. 

Not only do We get our selves off our back, but also family and friends, once the threat of death is eliminated! No more harping or griping about food.

Hmmm… maybe I should explore this side of the AN thought process for a while. Never been here and seems to be tingling a bit. However, to go there, I must actually Go There again to help me remember what it was like 5 years ago when I actively lived the Pro AN lifestyle without and with LIMU.

My Anorexia Can Live or Die with LIMU, it’s my choice.

What’s Yours?

Be Pro AN with LIMU!

Have a Great day filled with blessings of peace and joy, health and prosperity always!
