The picture on the left is my sister Bee in August of 2007. The picture on the right is her this past May. Thankfully, she is almost back up to her original weight now. It makes me sad to look at old pictures, though.

So, did/do you both have an eating disorder, or do you have a blog as an activist sort of thing ... because you have watched your sister struggle? If you both have an ED history, did Bee develop her illness after/concurrently with you? Is she in treatment ... are you in treatment as a family?
I have all the same questions as The_Timekeeper. But first let me say that I'm so glad your sister (and you) both seem to have recovered. That's awesome!
Both of my older sisters had EDs I never knew about before I developed mine... they are 15 and 10 years older than me... it is strange. I imagine it is so hard for them (in recovery mostly) to watch me fall...
firstly, that makes me sad too.
secondly, it is interesting, because after i could no longer deny i had an eating disorder, i was talking to my friend who has one also, and she was talking about how they are genetic and that kind of thing and that her mom didn't eat in college because she was a runner. and then i have this other male friend, and he has one, and his dad was a big wrestler in highschool/college, and now he has MS. (the dad). My relative arleen has MS too. A lot of times if one starves themselves as a teenager, and their brain does not get enough fat, it is very likely that their chances of developing multiple sclerosis increases.
Anyway, but I also realized that my two older sisters have quite bad eating disorders, and don't really get antiquate treatment. especially my oldest (ballerinaaaa). And I realized that my grandmother is SO anorexic, and has NO CLUE. and my mom deff uses food as a drug, but i think has like, not so sever a complex. it makes me worry a lot about my youngest sister, who is, actually, quite round. i don't know :(
well, i am proud of you both, keep your head high girl!
I m so glad she's doing better. It's never easy, and it takes courage.
