Realizing what today's date is, is actually a big day for me. Not only is this my birthday month of turning 25 but Today marks four years in full recovery from my Anorexia. I am so beyond grateful that I can stand here and say this today. Sure I have my days where Ed tries to come in but I have control to turn it off now. I can say no! With the Be•YOU•tiful me project in September and all the other opportunities I have ahead I wouldn't be able to do any of it with ED. I am thankful to be here and for those struggling it's not going to be easy but that doesn't mean it's not possible it is and it's going to be uncomfortable going against the eating disorder but if your uncomfortable it's working and you will see how much better life is. Each time you challenge your ED the better it is! I couldn't of done it without Somerset Eating Disorder Unit and my friends and family. My support system is what helps me till this day. I want to give back now and make a difference and show Recovery is possible and you are worth it! You are beautiful healthy and you are beautiful as the Person you are. ED will only make your troubles worse and you deserve to live life healthy and free! Love yourself and embrace your life! #neda #proud2bme #recoveryispossible #lovelife #youareworthit #youarebeautiful #beyoutiful nedafeedinghope proud2bmeus

This Is a consequence that was from my Anorexia but something that can be helped if more resources were out there 💚 Today's month is Gastroparesis awareness month. Gastroparesis is a terrible disease in which the stomach the stomach does not empty properly and the vagus nerve is damaged which is what regulates the digestive system. This can also lead to growth of Bacteria from sitting too long for even days. This all leads to nausea, vomiting, pain, gerd, stomach distention, electro light imbalances and malnutrition.The sad part is there is very little cure for this. The medicine that is out there is expensive and some not FDA approved and some have dangerous side effects if taken for a long period of time.The last resort is surgery which is something I am enduring in my near future. This also can become fatal when Gastroparesis is not treated or not treated properly. This is another disease that no one should also have to endure. This disease is not heard about a lot so there's not much education on it. So please help spread the awareness and to help find a cure! 💚

This speech is so true! Every word! When in the midst of my Anorexia and deep in I would say all these questions, my self love was at a 0. My love for my anorexia was at a high! But for what it never made my issues go away. Rather than it convincing me I was in control I was out of control. It made me not care about anything. I was in a terrible world. Food shouldn’t be your enemy, you should work out to thank your body and give it the endorphins it needs to keep blood flowing. Your body is your temple and it did nothing wrong to you and kept you alive. But in the midst of an eating disorder you don’t see any of these things. But I saw the influence I could be making on these children around me and when I finally went my last time in treatment that was it. Yes I will always be in recovery and the thoughts come but I can make them go. It is exactly true if you conquer your eating disorder you are the one with all the power. And the power is in you. For those struggling really if you are at that low point and are saying these questions, you are worth so much more than your eating disorder. You deserve to live a happy healthy life. And it really helped when first I did go in for me but I wanted to make a positive change and you can do that too. Make a positive change on someone so then they can make a positive change on someone else and let the ripple effect go forth. Those struggling recovery is possible and you are worth so much and you can make a difference! Don’t let ED be in control and this can go for any struggle don’t let your struggle conquer you, YOU conquer your struggle because YOU are powerful and YOU are beautiful and YOU are worth so many amazing things. There is so much out there for you. You can do this. I want to make a difference so that others can make a difference and we can make thing a better! You are worth so much!

In treatment I was taught that if your uncomfortable then it's working. I used to be so uncomfortable not using my eating disorder behaviors. My eating disorder would get so strong that I couldn't bare to go against it. But clearly listening to my eating disorder was still not making me happy and it never will because it's never enough I should listen to my treatment team and try it. I challenged myself everyday and even though I was so uncomfortable And also with challenging my body image and the clothes I was nervous wearing, I distracted myself and reached out for support and I kept doing this until I actually started to become at ease and now look I'm almost four years in full recovery. I used this motto for a lot of things that I have been uncomfortable with but needed to challenge. And still to this day today I still use this motto. This doesn't have to just go for someone struggling with an eating disorder this can go for anyone struggling with anything. Whether it be body image which everyone struggles with, confidence, confrontation, etc. it's gonna be uncomfortable, your gonna have some kind of anxiety but the more you challenge it the better you will see you are feeling and the easier it gets. It's gonna get harder before it gets easier. But you can do it! I want each and every one of you to challenge those negative thoughts in your head. You are stronger than them! Believe in yourself! proud2bmeus nedafeedinghope

You are not alone!

Diets don't work, there is no bad food I learned that in treatment and it is true there is no bad food, there is no perfect body, all these lies that society is saying is not real. You are good enough and amazing just the way you are, embrace all your imperfections and embrace your be•YOU•tiful you! nedafeedinghope proud2bmeus

[jeanettemarie827-blog]

It's okay to be perfectly imperfect! For years with my anorexia and perfectionism that came with it I thought to be good and to be someone I had to be perfect and that is not true what so ever! First off no one is perfect and that is okay. It's okay to make mistakes it's how we grow it's okay to be imperfect. I have not finished school yet, yes due to my eating disorder, but that's okay. I realized I don't need a degree to make a difference. As I'm working on my degree I am making a difference. By sharing my story, helping others, and being me. The opportunities I have been granted I couldn't be more blessed and I didn't need a degree for that. So never give up and always just be yourself and love yourself! And always remember there is no such thing as perfect! proud2bmeus nedafeedinghope #perfectlyimperfect #beYOUtiful #loveyourself

For many years I have hated my body, I could never see myself the way others do. Body image everyone struggles with. Not just those with eating disorders, and those with eating disorders use their body image different and lead to dangerous measures from how those who just struggle with body image issues. But the media and society has put this idea to everyone on how your body should be, how would they know? That's the thing they don't! Your body needs A BODY. To be healthy and happy. We should be loving the body we have. Our bodies can do so much for us, and embrace your curves, embrace yourself! Show others that you can love your body. This is the only body you have and to do great things you need to love your body and all it does for you! Life is so much better when we love our bodies and aren't focused on every little part we hate. I'm not saying that everyday is great but it's a lot better than how I was. I still have those body image thoughts, and those who know the struggle with recovery from an eating disorder body image is the last to go, so it will be a struggle but it is possible to gain control back. Let's embrace together positive body image and make a difference and out eat the media and societies unrealistic image of what bodies should be! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING THE WAY YOU ARE AND HAVE SO MUCH TO OFFER TO THIS WORLD! proud2bmeus nedafeedinghope

It took me till just about four years ago come to realization how life is better without your eating disorder and this can go for any mental illness life is better without it! Anorexia tried to kill me and then I was given a second chance at life and now I am here to fulfill my dreams and give back and help those who are struggling! Recovery is not easy by all means and I am not perfect but let's start there no one is perfect! But that's what makes us unique! Recovery is up and down but once being in full recovery you have the power to mute the negative voice! For those struggling You are worth so much to let ED take over! Help is out there and as scary as it is it is worth it! Your life is too precious! You are too precious! I have my days where ED tries to sneak in and I immediately say NO! Now I am grateful to be able to advocate and make a difference, finishing school to be a therapist and being a part with Proud2beme and The National Eating Disorder Association, interviewing and being in articles with Cosmo, Daily Mail, Women's LifeStyle Magazine, and being a recovery speaker. Also this coming September my sister/best friend who has been my support and always by my side are hosting an event for eating disorders since that was my struggle and depression and suicide prevention since that was her struggle and working with NEDA and TWLOHA and bring them both together to promote self love for all of yourself! We plan on making this a non profit organization one day! With my eating disorder I couldn't do any of this and now I am because I set free from my eating disorder! I couldn't do this without my support team which is my best friend blognicknak, therapy, family and friends! I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my support team! Thank you and anyone struggling help is there and you are worthy of a great life, you are worthy of recovery and you are worthy of life and love!

Helpful tips to improve body image! Remember all the things your body does for you! Without this body of yours you wouldn't be able to Go as far as you are now. You will always go further in life when you love your body rather than hate it. Your body has a uniqueness that no one else has, so when your at the gym workout to reward your body of endorphins, when you look in the mirror tell yourself how awesome you are. I know it's not easy and for years with my eating disorder I have been against my body and now in recovery I think for what? To have my life fall apart all because I want to look a way that will never be good enough for my eating disorder? Somedays can be harder than others but remember those days that are good and how in the day your having a hard time your no different than that good day. Your weight does not define you! This doesn't just go for people struggling with an eating disorder this goes for everyone. Because everyone I have seen are always not satisfied with their body and the media and society has impacted. When in reality the media and society have altered their pictures so it's unrealistic pictures they are posting. We can all stand up against this together and love our bodies and all that it does for us with no regrets! Remember your first love and last love is self love!

I need more blogs to follow and I’m sure y'all could use some too💕

Being that I am almost four years in full recovery from my eating disorder this is exactly true. I always want fast results but in recovery I learned that's not realistic. I didn't wake up one morning and decide to have an eating disorder and I sure know I can't wake up the next and it be gone. It's a slow process and that is okay. There will be ups and downs and that is okay. Once you are in recovery you have the power to turn the volume down on your eating disorder. It does not control you anymore you control it! Recover is worth it and some days even though I'm in full recovery I have ED whispering in my ear and sometimes trying to tell and I can now turn the volume down and off on it because I am no longer letting it control my life! You can have your life back too! Whatever it is you are recovering from, you can gain back control of your life because YOU ARE WORTH IT! You deserve to live a healthy, happy, and free from whatever it is that is holding you back! You have the power and you are never alone! Help is always there and you have the power!

This quote is from one of my inspirations Jenni Shaefer! She truly helped give me hope when I was struggling with my eating disorders. It's so true when your with ED you only take in the bad but at that time you think the bad is what's real and what you have to do. Any good that comes you don't let in. That is exactly what I did. It's so hard to let thegood in with ED I can finally take in the good now that I am freed from ED. And you can too! You deserve good things! You are worth so much and deserve to be loved and are good enough! Don't let anyone not even ED tell you different!

Enough said! :)

YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH! You are beautiful the way you are and you have so much going for you! Love that person you see in the mirror because that person has so much to offer to this world!
