Let it go. You did the best you could. There’s nothing more you can do. Be at peace, forgive yourself, be at peace.

✨Eating Disorder Recovery✨

-

You will never feel ready to recover from your eating disorder, but you need to. Whether you are 1 day into your eating disorder, or 2 years. You deserve to recover, you need to recover. Think about how happy you will be in the long run. Yes, at first it will be so hard, but it will also be so worth it.

You’re beautiful.

If you needed a sign, here it is.

  • That thought isn’t helpful right now.
  • Now is not the time to think about it. I can think about it later.
  • This is irrational. I’m going to let it go.
  • I won’t argue with an irrational thought.
  • This is not an emergency. I can slow down and think clearly about what I need.
  • This feels threatening and urgent, but it really isn’t.
  • I don’t have to be perfect to be OK.
  • I don’t have to figure out this question. The best thing to do is just drop it.
  • It’s OK to make mistakes.
  • I already know from my past experiences that these fears are irrational.
  • I have to take risks in order to be free. I am willing to take this risk.
  • It’s OK that I just had that thought/image, and it doesn’t mean anything. I don’t have to pay attention to it.
  • I’m ready to move on now.
  • I can handle being wrong.
  • I don’t have to suffer like this. I deserve to feel comfortable.
  • That’s not my responsibility.
  • That’s not my problem.
  • I’ve done the best I can.
  • It’s good practice to let go of this worry. I want to practice.

let’s have a recovery blog moment and remind ourselves that restricting our food intake will not improve our health, will not protect us from viruses, will not protect us from fear, will not help the world by placing less demand on it. we don’t need to be smaller because things are hard. we want to be well-fed, full of energy and connection and courage. we want to take up space and be present and demand our human rights. health may be elusive but let’s give our bodies the very best chances they can have; let’s fuel them and trust them. it’s what they deserve.

I'm thinking about deleting this account. I'm not recovered, but I have a busy life that is about to get a lot busier over the next few weeks and I do enjoy living in the "real" world. Over the last few weeks I have realised that I'd rather do yoga or watch a youtube video once I have some spare time than scroll through tumblr. However, the thought of deleting feels kind of weird, I'll have to think about it some more. 🙈
