If we aren’t eating the same things all the time or are not sticking with our weekly exercise routines, then we start to feel guilty, ashamed, uncomfortable in our bodies, or even unsafe.
Struggling with eating disorders can feel like a constant upward climb. There is a lot of statistics that inform us of a the long road to recovery. It’s important to keep note that changing your relationship with food, and your body is not a straight path. Practicing self-compassion is a process that aids healing, and makes the journey kinder on yourself.
One very helpful thing for eating disorder warriors is having a support team and a community of other people who understand their struggles.
It can be so hard to feel happy or see other happy people when you’re struggling so deeply with food and body image issues.
As you start to change what you say to and about yourself, you will also start to notice shifts and changes in your beliefs about yourself. It’s kind of the same with manifesting and setting intentions for your life.
How do you build up your mental and emotional health? How do you cope with body image and disordered eating struggles?

It’s easy to get out of your routine when you’re not in your normal environment, and getting out of your routine can start to bring on that shame.
This holiday season I want you to have a LOT of grace for yourself. Only you know exactly how you’re feeling, what situations are hard for you, and what you need moment to moment.
When you struggle with an eating disorder, you struggle because you need something that you could control. But remember, food wants to be your friend, not just your coping mechanism.
Unfortunately, not many people talk about their struggles. Talking through your struggles can help to make you feel less alone, more seen, and more encouraged.
