Op-Ed: connecting to resources

CW: In this series, I will be discussing eating disorders and their devastating effects. As someone who has an eating disorder, I try my very best to never describe specific behaviors or comparative numbers, as that can be very damaging, but the material may be upsetting nonetheless. If you decide not to read, thank you for taking care of yourself.

While at residential treatment, I was told that recovering from an eating disorder is a full-time job. Learn- ing how to rethink and undo years of ingrained thinking is the hardest thing I have ever done. As I described in my last installment, an eating disorder is really a way of coping. So, when I stopped engaging in any disordered behaviors, my brain went into overdrive. The voice inside my head became meaner and louder, barely able to think about anything other than how much I hated how my body looked. Every time I got stressed the voice told me that I’d feel better if I got thinner, so I found it easier to engage in the behavior than sit with the feeling.
