i’ve been thinking, and i want to talk about balancing both ED recovery and having athletic goals. when balancing these two goals, it’s important to remember that ED recovery comes before ANYTHING else. mental health is just like physical health and is just as important(if not more). at the beginning of my recovery, i took time off to let my body rest, but now it’s about knowing how to balance both! and with that comes holding yourself accountable and asking yourself tough questions about your specific goal each training session. • reaching big goals in your sport short and long term requires a lot of hard work… but it also requires a lot of REST. i know resting can be hard when having an unhealthy relationship with food/exercise, so i want to remind you today that if resting is challenging because of the fear of not moving enough, losing fitness, or needing to “earn your food,” then you need to take a step back, take that rest you know you need and remind yourself of your TRUE goals....
