Recovery = Freedom

31

Recovery = freedom

Recovery from anorexia is freedom. It is freedom from the obsessions of body, weight and shape. It is the freedom from dread, shame, remorse and depression. It is the freedom from being hijacked by your eating disorder. It is freedom from the nightmare. It is freedom from pure hell.

Recovery is freedom to:

  • To enjoy dessert
  • To get dressed once per day
  • To put other people’s needs in front of your own
  • To miss a workout
  • To enjoy the holidays
  • To listen to your body
  • To smile
  • To be present
  • To feel peace
  • To accept your body
  • To love deeply
  • To be you

What are you recovering to? What is your definition of freedom? We can recover one day at a time.

Serenity Always,

Meredith
