I May Be at a 'Healthy' Weight, but I Still Have Anorexia

Personally, I find it difficult to move away from the stereotype of eating disorders. It feels as if I’m under scrutiny for no longer “looking” anorexic. And this is a problem. Although I do in fact have the primary diagnosis of anorexia nervosa, the fact I feel I need to justify my eating disorder is [...]

What My 'Before and After' Picture Would Be for Anorexia Recovery

A person shares two picture of themselves — most likely in the same outfit — and places them side-by-side. The picture on the left is before their diet, exercise program, cleanse, etc. The one on the right is the results after.

Deciding to Stay Alive After Choosing a Palliative Care Route With Anorexia

July 2019. It’s been a year. It’s been a year of something. It was truly a light in a season of dark and broken places. A life-changing, heartbreaking, mind-blowing and lifesaving something. On July 23, 2018, after very careful thought and consideration and many, many tears, I felt my brain just “was” and would never [...]

Tip Tuesday 💡- Journaling

Journaling doesn't have to be fancy, or even in a notebook. You can scribble thoughts down on scrap paper, a post it note or even a napkin. It can be a few sentences, a few paragraphs or even pages long. You'd be amazed how much it helps your brain to get the thoughts out on paper. Also, it can help you process thoughts or something that you're going through that's hard.

If you try it today, let me know how it goes!

Motivation Monday

You are so incredibly worthy, because you exist. Absolutely nothing about you is worthless. (And if you can't believe that, I'll believe it for you). ✨

Weekend Thoughts

Recently, I came across this Japanese Proverb in an article about Resilience. The thought is as, once you survive something that almost took you out (but didn't), the minor things don't bother you anymore.

Id love your thoughts, Mighties.

Thankful Thursday (with a bonus tip 😃)

It's that time of the week again, Mighties! Tell me three things in the comments 👇 that you're thankful for. It can be anything - big, small, or seemingly insignificant. I want to hear them all! ❤️

What's Up Wednesday

This was one of the biggest lessons I've learned in the past few years. True healing happens in real time. We can't "think" or "talk" our way into healing. We have to experience it.
