Hey Gracie! Michelle and I email each other pretty regularly. She has decided that this diet has not helped her and, in fact, was making her worse with fear of foods and obsessing over things she was eating as she found herself cutting more and more things out of her diet and trying every supplement that someone suggested would help. And some of the posts were aggravating her anorexic tendencies/thoughts.
So, she is not doing the boards anymore and never will be back. She is not doing the diet anymore either. In fact, in her last email this morning, she told me she ate a double cheeseburger at McDonalds (without the bread), yogurt, salads and cottage cheese for dinner...etc. Pretty much whatever she wants excluding bread. She is sort of doing "the Maker's diet" and feels so much better. She is like a new person! No attacks and more energy too. It's really weird. I don't think I'd have the courage to eat how she eats...but it works for her.
I miss seeing her on the boards...but our emails will have to do because she will probably never be on the boards again. She is happy and feeling physically better and eating foods you wouldn't believe! I'm so happy for her!
She just misses everyone. I'll let her know you asked about her. She mentioned that she thought nobody would even miss her! She will really be touched that you were thinking of her.
She has found her own answers, and we have to be happy for her, even though it took her away from the boards.
This is not to encourage anyone from abandoning this diet, which has helped many people.
