Hi, friends! I know I haven't been on here in a while, but I wanted to take a minute to remind you that--no matter how far into the hole of the eating disorder mindset you feel--recovery is possible. Having had an eating disorder for all of high school and most of university, I know from experience that "recovered" can seem so far away that it feels easier to stay where you are, but trust me when I say that you can do this. Eating a cupcake past 8:00 PM while celebrating my brother's twentieth birthday party (i.e. a gathering of five close, vaccinated friends and two cats), something deep inside of me realized that--while having an eating disorder isn't a choice--recovery is.
And to support you along your recovery journey, here are some songs that I've found to be very motivating. Some of them are a bit more melancholy, but they've been very meaningful for reflecting on recovery. "I had to lose you to love me" can be a powerful message to the eating disorder voice, and "St. Jude" inspired me to pray to a higher power when I felt completely lost. And then the more upbeat songs--like "Shake it Out"--are energetically and emotionally uplifting and refreshing. One of the reasons I included so many Florence + the Machine songs is that Florence Welch went through anorexia.
You've got this <3.
