New blog post is up! Wanting to recover from an eating disorder can be challenging. Motivation can change day by day or hour by hour! Here are some reasons to choose recovery. Remember these on the hard days!
🌼 Food is enjoyed without worry, fear, or guilt. You can order a meal off a menu that genuinely sounds good to you in the moment.
🌼 The medical problems eating disorders and disordered eating cause such as a weakened heart, gastrointestinal issues, and disturbed hormone levels are majorly resolved. Your body functions at its best again.
🌼 Your energy levels increase, you’re less fatigued, and you sleep better at night because you’re nourishing your body AND mind.
🌼 You can focus during school or work because the obsessive thoughts about food, body, and weight no longer take over your brain space.
🌼 Relationships in your life become more authentic because you have the ability to be present with the people surrounding you.
🌼 The future feels more exciting to you because you can see all that you’re able to accomplish and become without food and body troubles holding you back.
🌼 You’re interested in connecting with people and having fun at social events, like family gatherings or parties, because you care about the purpose of the event MORE than the food at the event.
🌼 Simple hobbies make their way back into your life because your free time is no longer wasted on unhealthy behaviors.
🌼 You recognize your worth and discover what makes you YOU.
🌼 Exercise now means moving your body in ways that feel good. Movement is more
rejuvenating than exhausting.
🌼 You take part in the “little things” with joy like licking the spoon after serving ice cream or
happily accepting a yummy latté your coworker surprised you with.
🌼 The number on the clothing tag doesn’t control your mood for the day. You get
dressed and move on!
🌼 Your overall quality of life improves!
