After 17 years of EDs and hating my body.... this is the other side
https://ift.tt/qZTKjY3I just wanted to give a heartfelt message to all of you - after watching and being in this community for a little while.
I am SO grateful to be sitting in this place of peace and ease and understanding with my food and my body. After 17 years of eating disorders, disordered eating, yo yo dieting, weight instability, falling off diets, binging daily, TERRIBLE body image....
I didn't think I could win the war with my body. I didn't think I'd be able to look in the mirror and think "we got this baby, we're on the same team". I NEVER thought I'd be able to feel good about everything I ate. I never thought I'd be able to let go of all the control and the strictness - and still have a body that I'm happy with. I didn't think I could get here but I did.
A lot of people ask me how and if I could fit it into this tiny text box I would. But 18 months of recovery is so scattered, back and forth, unpredictable...
I can say that my main focuses were:
- nutrition (eating what I needed to repair my metabolism, not make hunger a factor when using coping mechanisms, learning what was "normal" for me)
- my relationship with myself
- alternative coping mechanisms (this was for EVERYTHING; anxiety, boredom, excitement, etc.)
- changing my WHY and my empowerment behind my own decisions
I didn't think I deserved it, but I do. And I really just want to remind you that you deserve that too.
At the risk of sounding old - life is WAY too damn short to be at war with yourself. To try to hate yourself into change. To not go on that healing journey so you can EXPERIENCE life.
We can walk through this journey together + I'm so open to anyone who wants to talk about this journey
