Eating Disorder Recovery Is a Work in Progress
When my eating was in crisis mode, my life was reduced to meals, hours, minutes. I may have planned my eating and exercise for days in advance, but the reality was that I spent my time worrying about what I would eat, regretting what I had eaten, and wondering if I would stick to the rules I had set for myself the next time.rnrnOnce I committed to recovery, I hoped for a brighter future, but all I could see before me were meals, hours, and minutes where I had to fight the urge to use my behaviors and somehow find the strength to get through the day.rnrnThere’s Always More Work to Be DonernrnI imagined that once I was free of the burden of filling time without eating, life would be easy. Instead, I was faced with the disappointing reality that I still had issues. Yet I only entered counseling because of a death in the family. Once there, I began to identify the roots of my issues, describe the underlying beliefs that had led me to my eating disorder, and develop the new skills and beliefs that have guided me since then.rnrnBut individual sessions could only do so much. It was a professional development workshop for dietitians that opened my eyes to the value of spending a week with like-minded peers; to see that we are all on a journey; that I am not terminally unique, or damaged, or hopeless.
