this week is national eating disorder awareness week. back in 2019, this was the week i decided to be open about having an eating disorder💚
•
being open was terrifying… it meant that i was finally facing the reality of what i was doing to my body. i was releasing a little bit of that control i was desperately grasping onto. it was the start of a very long and rocky road of recovery.

when i think of the girl i once was… i immediately see her as weak, but then i remember SHE was the one who got me to where i am now. SHE was the one who kept putting one foot in front of the other. she may have been extremely lost but also incredibly strong and courageous. i thank her for never giving up💓 if only she could see us now and how worth it recovery has been🥹 my mind and body are still recovering, but each year i get stronger and my zest for life continues to GROW.

YOU are so much more than your ED. there is SO much more to life than what your ED tells you. 💓 who i am now is COMPLETELY ...
