So yeah, my finale step in accepting myself is taking my own advice and feeling proud of the way I look by flaunting it. I am way happier looking at these photos and feeling genuinely beautiful than looking at a scale and getting excited when I loose weight. Weight is not a measurement of health, your self worth and definitely not your beauty. Let aloe your right to wear a bathing suit when it’s hot as hell! You earned that body, it’s beautiful because it belongs to you!

The perfect bikini body joke has been going around for while, just thought I’d contribute, not steal someone else’s joke :P

I love you

This girl is literally my favorite person on the planet right now

THIS IS AWESOME! I love this girl!

AWWWWWWE :)

Every fire starts with a single spark

Ed will always be trying to convince us to play with sparks.

He knows that a big fire can start with just a single tiny spark.

So he might whisper that it is okay to disobey our meal plan just this once for this very good reason, or refuse to take rest just this once but only because of that very good reason….

It is not okay.

“Just this once” could be the single spark that turns into the raging uncontrollable forest fire.

We must remember that fire is dangerous, to be respected and avoided at all costs.

If we don’t want fire, we must refuse to allow Ed to convince us to play with sparks.

As long as we keep fighting, we keep winning.

It can be so frustrating to keep fighting, trying, and striving, only to feel like that elusive line in the sand of “recovered” keeps inching forward with each step we take.

And that is exactly what Ed would like you to think.

Ed wants you to think that no matter how much or how hard you fight, he will always win. He wants you to think that he has the power to move that line ever farther away into the horizon.

He doesn’t. But YOU DO.

You see, the line that you think you can reach is closer to you when you first start fighting, because the best you can imagine is to not feel as bad as you do then.

But the stronger you get, the bigger your recovery dreams become, and that line will move forward with each expansion of your dream.

Which is why your job is not to focus on the line.

Your job is to keep dreaming.

Keep striving.

Keep fighting.

And know that as long as you do these things, you will KEEP WINNING.

Where we are supposed to be is wherever we are at right now.

Ed will frequently remind you that you are not “supposed” to be living like this/struggling like this/suffering like this/misunderstood like this etc etc.

In fact, if you hear the words “like this” or “not supposed to be” you can bet it is coming from Ed - even if it is spoken in your “recovery” voice.

Where else are you supposed to be?

What else are you supposed to be doing?

Whose life are you supposed to be living, if not your own?

Regardless of whether your approach to recovery is scientific, faith-based, intellectual, or some combination thereof, the fact remains that if you were supposed to be somewhere else, you would be.

Don’t let Ed throw you off the trail of recovery with this smokescreen of pseudo “support”.

Go out and dive in and learn the lessons recovery is bringing to you through your life as it is right now.
