Recovery is a Journey
Jen is an avid blogger who candidly shares her struggle with, and recovery from, anorexia. She recently contributed a guest post on another blogger's site, where she shared a shortened version of her story:
"To anyone who's ever thought that eating disorders are a sign of weakness... I'd like to say this: recovering from an eating disorder is the hardest mental, physical, and emotional work you will ever do. Imagine telling a heroin addict that he must shoot up three times per day, but only a little bit. ... Alcoholics, drug addicts, and gamblers can totally abstain from their drug of choice. Disordered eaters can never, ever get away from it."Though she has re-learned how to eat healthy and how to love herself, Jen reminds readers that recovery is an ongoing process that requires renewed commitment every day.
