The question of when I learned to love my body is a difficult one to answer. I started my journey of recovery almost 11 years ago now, and just as it has been for many people, it’s been a bumpy road.

Dear ED,
For years, you held me under the delusion that if I put my trust in you, you would make me invincible.

How can you accept your outsides if you hate the person inside? How can you care for the shell if you don’t care for the core first? This was my dilemma for so long. Slowly destroying my body as I turned my rage inward.

I will never forget October 11, 2007, as I stood in front of the security gates at the Dayton airport. I was so angry with God. Part of me wanted to turn and run back, afraid that I’d never return to see my friends, and another part of me still believed I didn’t have a problem and would be sent back home when I got to The Meadows Ranch. I was just so tired of fighting and tired of being tired.

Learning to love and appreciate my body has been a long, continuous process. After all, I did not learn to hate my body in a day. It is only natural that learning to love my body would take time.
