Too often, we believe happiness is only possible after change. Recovery challenges that belief. Joy is not conditional, it’s something you can nurture in this moment, in this body, today.

At EDCare, we walk with you as you learn to embrace joy and peace in the present. Discover more tools at www.eatingdisorder.care

Halloween candy is not something to fear or earn. It’s a way to connect and celebrate. Recovery means giving yourself permission to participate fully in the season, whether that’s enjoying a piece of candy or sharing laughter with loved ones.

This season, remind yourself that candy is okay to enjoy. Find freedom with EDCare: www.eatingdisorder.care

Recovery is about removing the masks you’ve had to wear, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or silence, and learning it’s safe to be yourself. You don’t need to hide to be accepted. Healing is about being seen, being supported, and allowing your authentic self to step forward.

EDCare provides a safe space to do just that. Find support at www.eatingdisorder.care

Every road trip needs moments to pause, refuel, and check the map. Recovery is no different. Asking yourself reflective questions can help you navigate. Reflection isn’t about judgment, it’s about awareness. Pausing to ask where you are helps you decide where to go next.

The seasons teach us about change, letting go, and renewal. Fall reminds us that even as things shift, beauty remains. Affirmations can help anchor us through change. Try repeating: I am worthy of joy. I am learning to care for myself. I can let go of what no longer serves me.

Perfection is an illusion, and chasing it only fuels shame. Recovery isn’t about flawless choices, it’s about aligning your actions with your values. Progress may look like setting boundaries, listening to your hunger, or resting when you need it. These choices bring you closer to a life rooted in compassion and authenticity.

At EDCare, we honor progress over perfection and help you build a life that feels aligned, not pressured. Explore your path forward: www.eatingdisorder.care

Life can feel like you’re always waiting when weight stigma is at play...waiting to believe you’re lovable, waiting to see a doctor, waiting to get real help. This blog shows how bias not only delays physical care, but also stalls recovery from eating disorders.

You deserve support now, not later. If weight stigma has made you put off care or kept you hiding, you’re not alone. Healing means recognizing stigma, giving yourself permission to seek help, and finding environments that honor your story.

In recognition of Weight Stigma Awareness Week, Project HEAL Clinical Assessment Program Manager Stephanie Alberts speaks to the “wait” of weight stigma.
