A reminder for anyone healing from an eating disorder:
Recovery may feel slow. It may feel messy. There may be days when part of you longs for freedom while another part still feels pulled toward what is familiar.
None of that makes you less worthy of healing.
Your body does not have to look a certain way for your struggle to be real. You do not have to be “sick enough” to deserve support. And you do not have to be doing recovery perfectly to be worthy of care.
On the hard days, remember: your worth is not measured by your body, your eating, or where you are in your recovery.
Keep turning toward yourself with compassion. Keep listening. Keep choosing, however imperfectly, to come back to yourself. 💛
