My body has been seen as wrong my entire life. Too big, too much, disgusting, lacking willpower and self- restraint. These are not my distorted ED thoughts but the reality of what I faced on a daily basis.
I was constantly told, “You must not have tried THIS diet” or “You must not want to lose weight badly enough,” insinuating that my body size is an indicator that I’m eating too much. That I don’t know how to control myself.
The truth is that the times I’ve been most free of my ED were the times I’ve been the biggest. Imagine what it’s like trying to reassure yourself that you’re doing what’s best for u in every damn way in a world telling u that u are WRONG simply for existing in your larger body.
To all of you badass recovery warriors, especially those recovering in larger bodies in a world that is so terrible to fat people, I see you. I am so proud of you. Fighting for recovery is the bravest thing you will ever do. 💗 #edrecovery #haes
