Motivation for the Day:)

"What does your post treatment life look like right now"?
Thanks for the response(s):)Keep um coming..

-I'm in college...getting a's and b's. im a star on the rowing team at one of the best sports schools in the country. im training for the us national team. im in the best physical shape of my life. and not because of ed. i feel alive again. i have my life back. my eating disorder has really moved to the very back of my head which is amazing to believe after 6 years with it. i can't believe how good it feels to worry about other things than food and at this point in my life right now i can't imagine ever wanting to go back.


-My post-treatment life, hmp. As obvious and cliche as it sounds, no road to recovery is ever smooth, but rather bumpy. For the most part, I've learned alot about myself and how I deal with difficult situations, and I feel as if I'm just an all around better person because of it. My relationships with others are stronger, considering I'm no longer just focus on my symptoms, which in the end makes me happier in general. As of now I'm finishing highschool, planning for college, and just working on my future. These things seemed impossible and terrifying, and trust me they still do, but I'm able to handle them better and actually confront issues that I'm faced with rather than running away from them.

-my dream to go to nursing school, graduate and work in an eating disorder rehab facility to give other girls the same chance that erin and jenny gave me...
