Walk for eating Disorders Then a Loss



I got the honor to walk in the first annual Eating Disorder Walk. The turn out was wonderful!! We had over 200 people turn out for the walk. It was such a hot day, though. Despite the heat I go to walk with some great women. My mother was there which was good. One of her friends from her church walking group came to walk with her, I liked that. My best friend came to talk with me. We ended up walking with a friend who is Miss Nebraska, and two girls from support group. I laughed at Amy because she shows up in jeans and flip flops for the walk. It was 90 degrees out and the walk was a 5k. She is crazy. I was giving her a ha
rd time about that.
I did enjoy myself at the walk so much. If really was so encouraging to see all the people out there and all the ages of people. It was a down fall with the heat but all turned out okay. I was really not okay in the end physically. My face was beat red. I was not sweating but my hair was standing on end
like i was cool. I was cold in a way. I was shaking. My body just could not handle the whole heat thing. I go on regular runs of 3-5 miles, 3 times a week, but it is never that hot out when I go.
The next day I found out that someone I was in the hospital passed away. She suffered from Anorexia. DAM you ANOREXIA!!! I'm so pissed off right now. Lindsey was such a sweat girl and does not deserve this. She was found alone a day after she passed away. I have been thinking about her so much lately and I care about her so much and her family!!
PLEASE pray for the family!!!
Love
