That's me in the red shirt. This picture became iconic to me on complete accident. When I was in therapy, they asked us to bring in a picture of ourselves. This picture was to be when we were younger, before we started thinking about food and body image and what we loo...

I recently saw a shirt as I was browsing through stuff online that said "Speak your truth" and this really touched me. One of the most important things I have gained through recovery is my voice. Do I still have trouble finding it and/or using it sometimes? Yes, of cou...

I'll never forget when I first started treatment. I honestly had no clue that I had any type of eating disorder. Only a few weeks before I started treatment did I even realize I had anxiety that seemed to revolve around food. I was still eating. Didn't people with actu...

A couple weeks ago, I read an article on Buzzfeed on 16 words to stop using about diets, bodies, and food. I bookmarked the article cause I thought it was inspiring and I wanted to take my blog this week to share this article with you guys and give you my thoughts on i...

I’m very proud to be in recovery. I have come so far in the last year and a half and it feels great. But I am not perfect. And neither is recovery. This past week I experienced one of those things they tell you in treatment and you’re like “yeah yeah..” cause you think...

The other day I was eating a Poptart and noticed that I eat Poptarts really weird. It reminded me of when I first started eating in treatment and all the sudden my food rituals increased like crazy. I had some before, but all the sudden I had a rule for almost every fo...

Ugh it has been WAYYY to long since my last post (almost a month!). This past month has been a whirlwind of traveling, moving, and holiday events, but now that I am finally settled (ish), I will be able to get back to blogging more regularly.

So the other day I was gett...

Yesterday was my last session with my therapist since I am moving in a little over a week. It was a great time to reflect on the progress I have made and where I should go next.

This reflection was one of the first times where I felt like...
