reasons to recover!! and some helpful tips/qoutes/explanations on recovering ❤️‍🩹
1 find the beauty in food and enjoying food
2 higher confidence
3 realize that theres no "thin enough"
4 recognize that true beauty isn't achieved from being the skinniest but from feeling the happiest
5 become mentally stronger!!
6 trying to make food your friend, not your enemy
7 be content with your body image, accept it in its unique beautiful form. we cant all look the same and have the same body or life would be pretty boring
8 realize that most of what we try to tell ourselves when ed thoughts kick in are just glamorized lies
9 feel free spirited!! i can only imagine how much my ed has weighed down on me but recovering has made me realize that there is no standard for beautiful things <;3
10 (hearing this also helped me recover) think of yourself as a flower, you're surrounded by a ton of other pretty flowers but that NEVER made you any less prettier!!
11 "feeling guilty for eating is the same as feeling guilty for breathing" we've been taught to put away our basic needs :(
12 your self worth never depended on your weight, it only depended on your self acceptance. in my journey i got thinner and thinner but it never felt like enough, i never felt skinny enough or pretty enough so ive tortured myself over and over but that just proved to me that there never was "skinny enough" or "ill stop when im skinny enough" because having this mindset means you're never gonna feel "enough" no matter how much you avoid food.
13 dont you miss that freedom of eating whatever you want without worrying as a kid?
14 shift your focus on progress rather than perfection :)
15 perfection never existed!! we just deluded ourselves into thinking perfection could be attainable but why do you think you never felt "enough" no matter how thin you were? because perfection never existed in the first place. I believe everyones perfect just the way they are. There is no standard for "perfection"
16 (i thought this one was pretty cute) Think of your body as your best friend, its been through so much for you and i think its time to return that favor by helping it grow and rewarding it :)
good luck on your recovery journey!! its so worth it i promise💗💗 keep your mind open and always reassure yourself <3 (sometimes a little pep talk helps)
