Advice to Former Self
I would tell my former self not to care so much about what other people think.
Definition of Recovery
When food no longer controls your life, when your body no longer controls your life. And then, again, you’re living by your values and your principles. And it doesn’t mean that every day will be perfect but you’re not at war with your body or your food anymore and kind of living at a peace. For a long time, I thought recovery meant I have no behaviors, but it was truly coming to this peace of mind that this doesn’t play a role in my life anymore.

I relapsed into my eating disorder, and during the worst part of my relapse I started listening to your podcast. Words cannot describe how much this podcast has helped me see past the horrible bully living in my head. Usually I listen in my car, and every time I do I sit their shouting YES THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE, because it is so incredibly relatable.
