August Recovery Wins


It's really easy - because of all the ups and downs - to feel like you're getting nowhere in recovery. But I feel like if I document all the positive things I'm achieving (and I'm not expecting these to be every day!), then I might actually realise how far I'm coming.

1st and 2nd:
  • Felt okay in my body
3rd:
  • Managed to lift a new weight on the leg press
  • I managed to sleep without medication!
4th:
  • Actually felt happy and confident in my body
  • I feel like leggings look better on me now than they used to
  • I didn't compensate for eating a lot yesterday
  • Managed to sleep again
5th:
  • Managed to have dinner at a reasonable time
  • Felt pretty good
7th:
  • Tried on my thermals from last winter (it was a cold evening) and they actually worked like they're supposed to! For some reason I was under the impression that thermals were just tighter-than-usual tops, but I feel like this is actually trapping my heat(!) to me
8th:
  • I wore a bikini! I didn't feel super confident, especially as I was no longer the thinnest in the group, but I was able to do it, and it's that that counts
9th:
  • I actually saw myself as being too thin for once
11th:
  • I got into the healthy BMI category!

Tips to Feel More Body-Positive (Quickly)

Hi team, I'm actually coping okay with the weight gain at the moment. I can actually feel some clarity coming back into my mind, which is wonderful; I'm sleeping most nights, and the bodies I once aspired to now seem too thin, as does my own body whilst I'm still weight restoring. I never thought I'd say any of that. But here we are. Anywho, I still get not-so positive days. It's to be expected. And it's okay. The main thing is to have a healthy outlet, one that doesn't involve losing weight or punishing myself. These tips may not work for everyone, but they've been handy for me on what I refer to as "the black days". When you look in the mirror and don't like what you see... Do a silly dance, or pull a funny face Say something silly (you might feel like an idiot, but I find it pretty difficult to be sad if I'm repeatedly saying "Boopity boop", or "Fluffy kittens") Make a list of the top 10 things yo...

Introduction

Hi, I'm A! I'm currently in recovery from anorexia, and will be using this blog for my thoughts and to document anything that helps me along the way. I'm hoping that it will keep me accountable, and that one day I'll be able to look back and see how far I've come. I'm not really sure 100% what direction this blog will take - recovery isn't the same for anyone - but if you stick around, hopefully there will be some good and happy times to come :)
