In our struggle to feel, be, and do “enough,” we often measure our self-worth by external sources like social media, to-do lists, or the scale. I get it — that was part of my eating disorder journey too, which I open up about in this blog. I also share what helped me to claim my “enoughness.” If you are exhausted from the constant effort to do and be “enough,” this blog offers some concrete ideas to help you release dependence on external factors that sabotage your self-worth.

Thanks to the dedication and support of all of our readers and guest contributors, the Yoga for Eating Disorders Blog has been ranked #5 out of the top 20 blogs about eating disorders by FeedSpot!

Written by Maria Ortiz, LMHC, a former Division 1 gymnast, this blog focuses on gymnastics and eating disorders, but athletes of many appearance-driven sports will relate to what is shared. Maria hopes the information she provides will be helpful for athletes as well as for coaches, parents, and mental health professionals alike to gain insight into how a sport may breed an eating disorder.
