    This is a great statement.

    When we have something that is destructive to ourselves...fear, eating disorder, guilt, addictions, etc....there is a turning point when we can take our anger and turn it toward that thing that is hurting ourselves. Usually the thing has the power to make us blame ourselves, feel bad, and keep the spiral going. But when we can step back from it, we are then able to turn our anger towards the Thing instead of towards ourselves, and push it away from us. That's when we become better able to love ourselves and fight the Thing with our anger and our self love. We take away its power to keep hurting us. Sorry if this sounds corny or preachy but it is my sincere feelings from my own life events.
    How wonderful that you are taking the bull by the horns, Sunshine! You are BRAVE and STRONG.
