A harsh but absolute truth about eating disorder recovery is that when you leave your support system, treatment center, your therapist’s office, and are alone with your thoughts:
The journey is UP TO YOU.
Use the resources you have and absolutely lean on your support systems and teams but realize that the true inner work begins when you’re battling alone.
That’s when it’s time to truly implement the coping mechanisms you’ve learned through therapy and research, begin to challenge yourself, and most importantly stay strong and believe in yourself. You can do this.
There’s nothing more powerful than a person who puts their healing into their own hands.
Remember…
You are strong when you’re alone.
You are capable when no one is around.
You can get past the worst moments and support YOURSELF because recovering from an eating disorder is absolutely worth every single step.
You will not regret the self-growth, self-awareness, and self-love you find when you stay on the path of recovery to freedom.
Ultimately your recovery and wellness journey are up to the most important person in your life:
You.
