Feb 23-March 1st 2026. A week dedicated to raising awareness, breaking the stigma and the guilt and shame that often accompanies an eating disorder. ⛓️💥
I have lived with Anorexia Nervosa for many years. On the outside I can look “in control”. On the inside I can sometimes feel exhausted, fearful and disconnected from myself and others. For me, an eating disorder isn’t about food-it’s about feelings, perfectionism, trauma and the story I tell myself about who I am and my worth.
Recovery is possible. I am living proof. 💫
My recovery wasn’t quick. It wasn’t linear. It took courage, professional help and a willingness to rewrite the story I believed about myself. ✍️
I share my recovery journey openly in my recently published book, “Change Your Story-Change Your Life”. In it, I talk honestly about my own recovery from Anorexia Nervosa, alongside other real-life client issues and problems (shared with permission and anonymity preserved) from my many years running a successful therapy practice. The book is about more than eating disorders-it’s about transformation, resilience and the power we all have to rewrite our narrative.
If you are struggling:
You are not weak. ✨
You are not broken. ✨
You deserve recovery. ✨
And if you know someone who is struggling with their mental health, please approach them with compassion not judgement. Mental ill-health thrives in silence and shame-awareness and understanding can go a long way to help someone to heal and recover.
If my story helps even just one person to reach out and get the help and support they need, then sharing it has been worth it.
Much love and light, Marion Gray 💚
