Earlier this week was my 9 year hospital discharge-aversary. Today, I wanted to share my story π

The past few weeks have been a madhouse. Between dog-sitting, coaching, social media management and the start of the new recovery group program, there wasn't nearly enough sleep and not nearly enough rest.
In the past, I would've dealt with these kinds of situations by controlling my intake. Restriction gave me that momentary relief, providing the adrenaline rush for me to keep pushing through with a schedule quite so manic.
Nowadays, I deal with these situations through reflection. I love being busy and I am passionate about my work, but I noticed my energy levels plummeting (and, especially, my patience levels with things like technology nose-diving), which was my cue not to deprive myself but, instead, to refill my cup. I took the weekend off, will take most of the next weekend off too, and am intent to take my evenings to read and unwind (even though I'm dog-sitting this week and it always feels like the 'perfect excuse' to work just that little bit longer).Β
We're all works in progress. Reflection doesn't stop just because I've recovered. We all grow and learn as we go about life and that is the beauty of it.
So, as I said, in the past I coped through use of the eating disorder. But nowadays, I no longer do. I know that the eating disorder brings nothing but temporary relief. So even though I'm still learning, THAT is definitely something I've learned!
Thereβs only one thing the eating disorder promises, and that is more of the same: temporary relief (meant to keep you coming back), alongside...
π constantly feeling anxious and depressed
π always feeling cold
π isolating from and lying to loved ones
π hair falling out in clumps and skin wrinkling like a prune
π thinking obsessively about food 24/7
π hoarding and hiding food
π damaging friendships and making family worried sick
β¦and so much more misery.
Granted, recovery can feel uncertain. And, yes, weβre wired to opt for the βknownβ outcome, even if itβs the worse one (risk aversion, right?), but isnβt it terrifying to think that nothing changes if nothing changes?
The eating disorder will keep taking and taking until thereβs nothing leftβuntil youβre just a shell of your former self.
You deserve more than that. You deserve to...
π enjoy your favorite foods
π meet friends for a drink
π be present during upcoming festivities (and meals)
π feel comfortable in your own skin
π LIVE!
You deserve to be free π¦
So, today I want to ask you this: what are you doing to refill your cup?
