“You Look Healthy:” Why These Words Can Be So Hard to Hear

For so many of us in recovery, being “healthy” creates quite a conundrum. Although we commit to health and desire the benefits that come from being healthy, it can be painfully difficult to hear the words: “You look healthy.” In my blog I open up about the trouble I had with this word, and how I eventually learned to expand my definition of healthy from one rooted in eating disorder thinking to one that aligns with recovery values.

Be gentle with yourself, and know you aren’t alone on this journey. You deserve to be healthy in all the ways that matter to you in your life and recovery. 💗
