The brains of beings are akin. The difference is bulimics do what is offensive. Surely, Little Bit does. She beats herself up day after day, evening after evening, before, during, and after she engages in the-engorge-and-eliminate process. She tells herself she is not resolute enough, not strong enough, and not sincere enough. As a person, She believes she is surely a failure. How else might she explain why she is not successful, she does not live a wonderful life.

She lives with intention and regrets her every choice. She has the goals and inevitably grave misgivings. She passionately pursues her bliss, be it food or foolishness. These, in truth, are one in the same.

Thus, once again, on the traditional New Years Day, she reflects on what is her forever truth. She is fond of what is wise and worrisome. She longs to be free from her habit. She also yearns to feel the food flow in and out of her body. Finally, the lovely lady hopes to resolve, if life is to be different, she must do other than resolve. It is vital for Little Bit to realize her brain and body are one. She can conclude and act upon the choice she had not considered in previous decades. She can regularly recharge her present neural pathways, or change her pattern. Perchance, were she to embrace that truth, this year will be truly New, nice, and nicer.

Dear reader, you may wish to peruse Chapters One through Seven. Please do. These reflective diaries discuss my life as an anorexic, bulimic, a person.
