Something I wish I could say to myself at my lowest was that is is ok to seek out help and not be doing well, and that to remember it will all get better❤️❤️it is all a matter of time and self love. You have to remember that you are going to feel so much better when u learn to love yourself and to accept yourself and know that your looks so not define your worth.
One thing I am still struggling with is telling myself that it is ok to look different at different times of the day and not always stay the exact same.
My biggest support system is my sister. She would always check to see if I was ok, would accompany me in the bathroom, and cross out calories on all the boxes of food at home. I don’t think I would have recovered without her :)
Some self care habits that helped me cope were eating yummy meals of food that I loved and tasted good. And it is ok if that food wasn’t something healthy, as long as you know that you deserve to eat it and keep it in you :)
My favorite part of my life in recovery is not having to feel guilty after eating. It is such a big relief, especially for my anxiety, and it makes eating so much better.
Something I do when I feel a relapse coming is talking to one of my friends about how I am feeling and letting myself know that relapsed are ok and that recovery is not linear.
Some dialogue I find triggering is commenting on peoples bodies in a way like “OMG you’re so skinny what is your workout routine?”
