Eating Disorder Clinic

A number of girls and women contact me every month, either through my website after reading my book or newsletter, advice and support. And what many of these reports have in common is the question of recovery – and if it is possible for them.

Some people – and that includes not only people with eating disorders, unfortunately, there is also some therapists, nutritionists and other health professionals – believe that the recovery is complete, we must learn to live with her live-eating disorder for the rest of their lives, that we have just learned to control it, but never completely free of charge. It makes me sad when I statements like, because I very well know that full recovery is possible, hear!

While I struggled with eating disorders, I have read and heard these statements. And it’s so frustrating to hear such a thing, if you are your own eating disorder in the middle of the fight. I felt so discouraged, hopeless and helpless. And I had moments where I said: “Why fight, when even bother, I’m not succeed anyway ?”…. But I did not like this live for the rest of my life. I refused to believe that full recovery was not possible. I do not live forever with my eating disorder, I wanted to recover. I wanted to be free. I wanted to be happy and healthy again. And I, “I have a choice. I choose to challenge this view, which I had heard and read so many times. And when I opened my mind to think that the recovery was possible, in fact, something has changed … Now that my mind was open to this possibility, I discovered that there is a whole community of women who recover managed to completely and their stories on their websites and in their autobiographies. Read stories of other women who made it to recover gave me hope and inspires me I have read many autobiographies eating disorder when I was in trouble, and the most important message I received was out of them -. if they can get, well I can!

These women were my heroes. I looked at and admired for their success and also for their courage to speak openly and honestly about their struggles and eating disorder recovery. They were my role models, and one day I wanted to be like her – I wanted my eating disorder and the success story to inspire and help others to share with eating disorders.

And now I’m back. I’m happy with my life and my love and my body. And now that I have recovered, I see it as my job, my experiences with others struggling with eating disorders, giving hope to share help, comfort and much needed support. I want you to know that you are not alone and that recovery is possible!

Yes, recovery – is possible – full recovery. I’m not saying that because it sounds good. I say this because I firmly believe, and really it. I’m proof that it is possible! I’m proof that full recovery is real and not a myth. And I’m not the only one who was able to successfully recover from an eating disorder. I am not the exception. There are countless women who have successfully managed to overcome eating disorders … some of them fought for years two, five or ten years, and some 20 years or more … it really does not matter how long you had your eating disorder, you are not a hopeless case. Recovery is possible for us all!

Recovery is something that happens to you, and no one can recover for you. No one can get for you, and there is no magic pill for recovery. But I firmly believe that we all have within us what it takes to recover.

Recovery is a process. It takes time. Recovery does not happen overnight. Her eating disorder began before his first year binge, purge, without going hungry – and it will take some time to overcome this disorder.

There is no rule on how long it takes for someone to recover. We all have stories to tell different stories, different reasons why we have our eating disorders, and are at different points in our lives and have the support and the various recovery tools. Please do not put too much pressure on himself. Be friendly and patient with them. And please, keep the faith in themselves. I know you can do!

There will be setbacks … But what happens, do not give up!

My journey to recovery was difficult. I will not lie and say it was easy, because it was not. It was hard work, but it was worth it! I had one day after the other. And I had setbacks, I had a lot. And every time I came, I did my best to quickly get up and continue on my path. I did my best, do not look back but forward. And Brandon, my husband was always there for me and with me every step of the way. He believed in me no matter what. Your love and support, have the strength in me what I find to beat this disorder had.

And during your recovery process, you will have setbacks. And this is normal. Setbacks are part of the process. So please do not beat on them. Go concentrate on your goal. Learn to be proud of what you have done so far. Focus on good things and services. And no matter what happens or what you do, please never give up yourself. Please continue the fight, and always remember – recovery is possible for you too!

All the best for you and a lot of power,

Andrea
