Meet my friend Robyn. When I first met her in treatment she was so quiet and trapped in perfectionism and rigidity. I watched her struggle, work and fight to overcome ED. Today she is married, pregnant, happy and full of LIFE! As you see in the video she even took up acting again, a major passion that ED had taken from her. This video demonstrates my favorite part of recovery...not getting rid of ED but getting to know yourself again and coming back to life! There is no better feeling. I seriously remember the first time I really laughed at the Center and remembering how good it felt to laugh, because I hadn't for some time. ED takes so much away from you but there is SO much to gain and take back as you recover! Life has so much to offer and there is so much potential just waiting to bust out as you move further and further into recovery! Also I think this is a great video for exercise bulimia awareness, something that is becoming more and more common. For more on this topic you might want to check out my previous post "ED Free reasons to Exercise" and also the IE principle of this week: "Exercise, Feel the Difference!"
