Learning to accept the number on the scale has taken a long time, but I have come to the realization that I am happier now with that new number than I ever was before. How is your relationship with the number on the scale?
I recently had a conversation with Jared Levenson from Weight Loss Enlightenment (the name is misleading, but it’s NOT about weight loss). We discussed my experiences with intuitive eating including some of my many challenges with accepting my eating disorder, emotional eating, identifying my hunger cues, etc.
I was always in denial about how sick I was until I actually tried to stop all of those #eatingdisorder behaviors. Only then did I realize how far I’d fallen. Nevertheless, I slowly pulled myself back out and into #recovery. #mentalhealth #anorexia #bingeeatingdisorder #bulimia https://t.co/ZI54QvtcGR

Overeating used to make me feel so guilty. I now realize that my body is smart and will find balance if I overeat.
