10.5 years into eating disorder recovery and I’m finally getting to this point where I look back at my 13-20 yr old self like “girl wtf were you smoking” 😭❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🌶️

Don’t get me wrong — I have so much compassion for the torture I put myself through. Starving, bulimia, working out for hours in plastics even when I wasn’t cutting weight, the binge/purge cycle, hiding in baggy clothes, buying clothes that were too small to “motivate myself” (aka punish), obsessively dieting keto / fasting / weighing myself 20x day / stealing people’s food and then replacing it before they found out YEAH I have done it all. And it never felt like a choice. I was “disciplined” and “successful” everywhere — but could not get to a serene, grounded place with food and body for the life of me.

All of that said…

For as much compassion as I have for that younger self (and seasons of struggle even WITHIN recovery, bc it isn’t linear)…

I also look back on my body & control obsession with such different eyes.

I look at pics of myself now (and I’ve been in a fairly similar body size since I was a teen — always tall, muscular, curvy… the way God designed me and my athletic endeavors have built me 🥰)…

And I’m like, damn, I wish I could’ve appreciated my health & beauty when I was younger.

I wish I could’ve relaxed more, worried less, been more present in social settings, and known that I was perfectly made all along.

I can’t change those years, but I can…

A) commit to loving and confident self-talk and attitudes moving forward,

and B) encourage others to do the same.

If you’re reading this, and you ever struggle with some of the things I mentioned —

I just want you to know that it CAN get better. Recovery is real.

And, for me — recovery always starts with self-love and compassion. That’s what has led to long term change. To better choices for my mental + physical health.

Shame and self-hate neverrrr did that for me.

So if you’re struggling, it might be worth putting down the negative self-obsession and reminding yourself that you’re beautiful exactly as you are. Being hot is subjective, anyway. Might as well decide that you are rn and act like it hehe 💋
