Hello Life, it's me again

Recovery is about being brave enough to move out of the house and meet new people instead of staying at home with your self-hatred and doing sit-ups in secret.

Recovery is about being brave enough to be yourself, open up for strangers because those strangers will become friends later.

Recovery is about visiting Christmas markets because the food isn’t the main focus anymore, eating what you like, how much you like and when you would like to.

Recovery is about being spontaneous, crazy and lively. It’s about finding secret cafés, sitting down to talk for hours, forgetting about the hustle-bustle outside the place. It’s forgetting about calories, fear foods and insecurities. It’s about being in the present.

Recovery is about laughing until your stomach hurts and being happy because your stomach hurts for a very different reason than it used to.

Recovery is talking about your memories with a smile on your face and a full tummy.

Recovery is not easy. It’s fucking hard most of the times. It’s exhausting and uncomfortable.

Yet, when you can see that recovery is so much more than just food, numbers and scales, that’s when you know it was all worth it.
