Small update! I no longer have to see an ed specialist. However, I’ll start seeing my old therapist. I’m so proud of how far I’ve come <3

”I’m going recover when I feel ready.” You will never feel ready to recover. You won’t magically wake up one day and feel ready. Stop waiting around for that to happen and just start.

It’s summer now so i want to remind everyone that there is no need to “lock in” or lose weight

Change is scary and I get that, but it’s so much better on the other side

It’s really important to find motivation to recover. Personally i do cheerleading as a base so I want to be strong enough to go back to competing!

Here to remind you that you’re valid. It’s so so sooo common with eating disorders to think you aren’t valid because you’re comparing your experiences to other people’s. The thought that you aren’t valid is in itself proof that you are.

It’s okay to have bad days. You just have to get through them. The good days will remind you what you’re fighting for.

I’ve realized just how dependant I used to be of my eating disorder. It’s always my first instinct to cope with restriction. It takes a lot of strenght to change that, but I make the choice to change every day

Do it for the sport you used to love.

You don’t have to like your body. Actually I don’t either and maybe that’s okay. I can appreciate the way I have energy, how I don’t immediately run out of breath and how I can focus.

There is no sick enough nor will there ever be one. Sick enough is an endless void to keep you trapped in your eating disorder. You are already sick and that’s enough.

Losing hope in recovery? It may feel that way right now. You have to hold on. It`s okay. It will be okay. You will be okay. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but one day.
