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 different than the girl i was, and for that, i am GRATEFUL. 
•
if you are struggling, i encourage you to reach out for help, i could NOT have gone through recovery on my own. i love you. you got this!
