Ever worry about your diet a little too much? Ever wonder if some of your eating habits might just be a little (or a lot) unhealthy?
When you're trying to recover from any kind of disordered eating, it not going to be easy. Luckily, there are a few basic things you can to do to get started:
You've got to open yourself...
Open yourself to the idea that some of the things in your life might just be a little different than you'd always thought. Understand that certain, sometimes difficult, changes will have to be made. Do your best to start paying more attention to what you really need to do for yourself, in every area of your life.
You've got to open your heart...
Don't be afraid to let other people into your life. Good relationships will get you through some of your toughest times, and bring a whole new meaning to your life.
You've got to open your mouth...
Don't ever be afraid to ask for help when you need it (even if all you need is just a big cozy hug). Find the people who will be able to help you with the things you might not know how to do. Do your best to find a good doctor, a knowledgeable dietitian, and a therapist with whom you feel comfortable.
Above all, don't be ashamed of yourself or your problem. We'll never be able to tell just how many people actually suffer from disordered eating issues, just because so many of them are so afraid of what others might think if they found out. But as long as more of us can start to become a little more open about our struggles, we just might be able to help change that attitude. We might be able to help some of those other people seek the help that they really need, too.
