reasons to recover
I feel last year during my lowest points , reading something like this , I really would have benefited from so I hope you can take something from it . Remember you all deserve recovery , no matter your weight, size, gender. You are all worthy of life free of this debilitating illness.
- No longer preoccupied by weight , food and shape.
- Because food is energy not numbers.
- To love your body ... Imagine how good that will feel. Something your eating Dupree will never give you.
- To be able to trust your body.
- Lectures are boring.
- No more comparing yourself to everyone that walks by you in the street.
- " You can't live tomorrow if you die today."
- Think rationally, logically, and clearly.
- Learn that worth isn't based on appearance.
- Get those school grades for that dream job.
- Dont cry yourself to asleep at 80 years old regretting the life you had because you listened to anorexia.
- To eat what you want , when you want because you want.
- Eating disorders never keep there promises. I thought I would be happier , more liked by others, in control and people would envy my achievement of weight loss. Instead I got stared of concern and disgust.
- Hot chocolate on a cold winters night ( remember to over-do the whip cream.)
- Because loosing hair and teeth .. Isn't a pretty look.
- The ability to have future children.
- To see more of high school than hospital.
- And be a role model for your little sister. I would hate for her to go through the pain and hell of mental illness, I hope she hasn't learned anything from me. From now on I'm going to be the big sister , I should have been a long time ago.
