Anorexia - Anorexic - Bulimia - Anorexic - Bulimic - Anorexia Nervosa - Bulimia Nervosa - Eating Disorder, E.D. Deadly Disease, what do all these words have in common? They refer to the Eating Disorder that claimed my life on July 5, 1999.

Annually, over 1,000 Women / Young Ladies die because of Anorexia - Anorexia Nervosa, and or Bulimia because they are to ashamed or just do not know how to get help. It is not just a "Girl Thing" as One Million Males have the disease and like their female counter parts, deny they have "A Eating Disorder Problem". More on the males later.

Through these clouds it is my hope that the world will become aware of just how deadly this "Curable Disease" is. Should you know anyone with Anorexia, Bulimia or a eating problem please have them visit my Clouds, maybe then we can stop them from joining her and her four kitties out here....

Shanda may be gone physically, but she will never be forgotten....

On July 5th 1999, my body finally gave into an eating disorder that I kept denying that I had for almost 15 years. It took the medical examiner 3 months to come up with the cause of my death : Coronary Edema - Secondary to Anorexia / Bulimia. In other words, I had a heart attack as I was starving my body of protein.
