Yes, I have gained weight. Yes, my tummy sticks out again and my jawline isn’t prominent. However…

I have the strength to dance

I can go on walks and hikes for miles through the wilderness without feeling weak or faint

I can jump for joy and dance around my room

I’m not confined to my bed-I can cook and clean and stand for long periods of time, I can open doors without help

I don’t bruise just by being touched anymore!

My hair is longer and thicker and so much healthier, it’s finally growing rather than falling out

My cheeks have their natural blush back and the bags under my eyes aren’t permanent anymore

I can have conversations about things that aren’t food or my ED

I can think about things that aren’t food or my ED

I can draw, paint, sew, knit, embroider, sing, dance, write-and i have the ability to care about those things again, to want to do them

I can pick up my little brother and dance around with him

Yes, I feel insecure, I struggle with body image, I still sometimes cry after looking in the mirror because of how I see myself. But I don’t act on those thoughts anymore.

I am healthier and happier and that is what’s important
