Celebrate Recovery from Trauma

Posted by Lori Henry Jun 18, 2007

Recovering from an eating disorder such as anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, compulsive overeating or EDNOS, can be a difficult battle. But there’s hope. People fully recovery everyday and live fuller lives.

Let’s celebrate the individuals who have managed to overcome this shame and who want to share their experience.

I think it’s important to speak about how we recovered in order to give light to those who are still struggling.

I invite people who have experienced a diagnosable eating disorder, who have had body image or related issues, to post about what it was that made you recover. Was there something that pushed you to it? Was there someone who made the difference?

Also, I would love to hear from individuals who are still struggling: what do you think would push you to begin recovery? What do you need in order to become healthy?

I hope to have a whole discussion filled with hope for those who need it. Spread the word and let’s celebrate recovery!

Read and post to the discussion here.
