My memoir describes my gut-wrenching journey of recovery from anorexia nervosa from a young girl to entering treatment at the age of thirty-five to full recovery many years later. My memoir is broken down into five sections: History, Treatment, Recovery, Relapse, and Full Recovery. My recovery was not linear. It had ups and downs and twists and turns. I uncover the steps I personally needed to make to reach full recovery. These effective principles include food exposure, feeling my feelings without judgment, strengthening my healthy self, slowing down, practicing mindfulness, building a healthy relationship with food, connecting to others, and creating an identity apart from my body, shape, or weight. Recovery was the hardest path of my life, but I did not give up and now I am a woman without an eating disorder. Now fully recovered, my passion is to write, to inspire others and to help people with eating disorder recovery through mental health counseling and eating disorder coaching. Hopefully this memoir will inspire you to take one step towards recovery and finally have the life you dream of. It’s possible, and there is a life waiting for you on the other side.
