No need to repeat Love, I wasn’t listening in the first place x

I’m scared and angry.
I will not be quiet and I will not shrink.
Shrinking your body also shrinks your mind and weak minds can be manipulated.
I’m going to age, be loud and take the space that I want, and deserve.

To me this is one of the biggest myths.
I believe everyone can recover and those who haven’t aren’t broken. Perhaps they haven’t received the treatment they needed, perhaps they weren’t ready to make changes, perhaps they can’t afford treatment, perhaps no one even noticed they were ill, perhaps there are many other reasons.
As for the myth that once you’ve had an ED you’ll never be fully free from it, well, I also believe it to be a myth. If you are recovered, you are recovered, you might bear the scars of the disorder forever but a scar is a sign of healing, not a sign of injury.

Ever passed a shop window and thought: WTF?! Well, let me blow your mind: window panes are window panes, not mirrors and that’s why what you see is going to be distorted.
By the way, the camera on your phone isn’t a mirror either. Depending on the lens, your reflection will be distorted.
Actual mirrors might not always be accurate either and even if they are, who is to say that what you will see is going to be accurate?
Basically, who knows and who cares? What you look like is frankly not that important, so concentrate on who you are.

February and March is usually when I start being inundated by people asking for help. Do you know why?
Because they have fallen prey to the lure of the wellness industry. They wanted to feel better, lose a bit of weight, clear their skins or be fitter. Nothing wrong with that per se.
The problem is that the religion of wellness soon turned to the cult of disordered eating.

Recovery takes a village but it’s easy forget that village.
So today I wanted to celebrate those in the background who are there to make it all happen.
The dad who takes you to that milkshake place every week after therapy, the mum who watches MAFS with you after every dinner, the brother who encourages you to have “one more bite”, the colleague who reminds you it’s time for a snack, the husband who came up with pastry dates, the friend who takes charge and add the cheese to your jacket potato, the boy who you just started to see and yet who encouraged you to go to that burger place, the boyfriend who helped you feel good about your body, the girlfriend who made you lots of ready meals for days you can’t cook, the teacher who looked after you during PGL.
Thank you all for being there, you make a difference.
Send this to someone who deserves a bit of recognition 💙

No cottage cheese was hurt in the making of this. This vanilla and cardamom tarte tatin mostly contained time, patience and a hell of a lot of love.
Take this as a little reminder that food is more than fuel, it’s also a celebration, memories, creativity, art and much more.

Nobody seems to know this and I’m sorry to burst your health bubble but your trusted couscous is made of exactly the same stuff as your dreaded pasta…
So, on the basis that you have been totally fine eating couscous all this time, could you consider reintroducing pasta?

I love a good spoof but for these people I only have three words: pot, kettle, black.
Do what you want and, from the bottom of my heart, I’m really pleased if you feel better on ozempic and friends but we don’t want to see people having lost lots of weight rapidly telling us how silly we are to want to be healthier in January.
It’s simply hypocritical.

2016 is back apparently and so what? I’m probably too old for this trend because, frankly, 2016 feels like yesterday and not a lot has changed.
I live in the same house, do the same job and even still wear that bikini.
I have older children, some more wrinkles and grey hair now but otherwise I’m not that different.
I’m glad for you if you have transformed your life but let’s also not dismiss consistency. I know it’s not as sexy but you don’t always need to overhaul your life, it’s ok to make little tweaks along the way.
The real changes have happened inside, stealthily without anyone noticing. Those ten years have brought me more clarity about who I am, what I want and don’t want, a lot more confidence, self acceptance, understanding that that letting go is sometimes a relief and the courage to close the door on people whose actions don’t match their words.
In ten years time that bikini will probably haven given up the ghost, I’ll have more wrinkles, more grey hair and adult children but I hope I’ll still be learning about myself and curious for more.

Anyone relates?

Yes, absolutely, weight restoration is crucial but that alone won’t get you to recovery.
What you also need to do is understand how the fire started and what role it played in making you feel better.
To find the purpose of your ED you need to ask yourself: what am I worried of losing if I let it go?
