In eating disorder recovery you develop the ability to contain your impulses. You reveal yourself and engage with the world though speech and action, gradually and with thoughtfulness and consideration for yourself and your environment.*pix
If you suffer from an eating disorder and even if you have some recovery you have developed an all or none perspective in your attitudes about eating and much more. You are familiar with feelings of excitement, anticipation, expectation and find uncertainty hard to bear.

In the early years of my eating disorder recovery work the emotional pain I experienced was intolerable. Yet I had to tolerate it to heal. I was in therapy three times a week. I went to 12 step meetings every day and sometimes three times a day if the days were bad. I did physical, emotional and psychological exercises that people told me had helped them. I was on the phone with outreach calls - both calling and being called. I worked every avenue of recovery I learned about, some more helpful than others.
One of the ways that assured me and helped me build a base from which to recover I want to share with you on a regular basis via this blog. I hope you follow along and participate as much and as often as you like.
