Recovery

Recovery

Growing up everyone had stories about my eating habits. How I would hide food in corners of the house, only eating chips for years in the cafeteria, the panic in my eyes at an unfamiliar restaurant menu, it was just a “thing” in my family, in my neighborhood, and during school lunches. Now I’m taking control of my narrative.

I’ve come to realize that recovery is a choice. Even if you’re not where you want to be yet, even if it’s incredibly hard, and even if you just had a setback. It is a choice you make to get better. Recovery also doesn’t look the same for everyone. What you need to do may not look like what someone else needs to do.
