I went to ājustā a yoga class today.
A day that marks the start of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, an annual campaign that provides education about eating disorders and increases visibility to those impacted. All in the hopes of increasing support to folks who need it.
So today, in reflection, I went to ājustā a yoga class.
And I say ājustā a yoga class, because there was a LONG time in my life for which taking a yoga class wasnāt enough.
A time when I would force myself to run a handful of miles before taking ājustā a yoga class. A time when maybe even running wasnāt enough, so Iād do some sort of weight training, tooā¦because it was ājustā a yoga class.
I had somehow convinced myself that if I wasnāt burning as many calories as humanly possible each workout, each day, each opportunity, then I wasnāt good enough.
But today, I went to ājustā a yoga class.
I donāt go often, cause, wellā¦ kids ā¦ and life.
But when I do, I am reminded of how f*cked eating disorders are. And how much work it takes to recover. And how grateful I am for recovery. And how proud I am of all of you who are showing up and doing the work to get yourself back from the deep life-sucking vortex that is an eating disorder.
So today I went to ājustā a yoga class. And it was enough. And I am thankful. And proud.
