Getting "healthy" after an eating disorder
Ever since I developed my eating disorder my main focus was getting "healthy." However healthy meant a totally different meaning to me, it meant the thin tumblr girls, it meant skipping breakfast and only eating raw foods, it meant using healthiness as an excuse for my eating disorder. However healthiness now has a different meaning to me and it is:
Living peacefully happily and being confident in oneself
During the years suffering with my eating disorder I strived for the wrong type of healthy in every way I could, however now I am turning the page and starting a new chapter of my life.
Living peacefully happily and being confident in oneself means a lot of different things to me, it means eating the right amount of food at breakfast, lunch, dinner and the snacks in between. However it means eating the right foods but allowing myself cake and biscuits when I feel like it. It means doing steady exercise and improving fitness levels but not taking it to extremes. It means working hard and excelling at academic subjects however it also means getting enough sleep and resting too.
I have searched the internet for get healthy plans in recovery from an eating disorder because I know these plans can be dangerous however I want to do it right as I am not relapsing and I never will. I do not think I ever will relapse however I would of loved a plan that I could of followed, however there just does not seem to be one on the internet. So here I am. Starting a fresh and finding a new me.
