Day #10: Only words?

Five words that relate to your Eating Disorder.

Five words that relate to your Recovery.

Why are they important and how are they relevant?

Eating disorder      

Loss - of myself and so many other things.

Entrapment - within a battle between myself and...it.

Fear - that I somehow won't beat it.

Self-hatred - never feeling good enough.

Death - a slow one from the inside out.

                    

Recovery

Self-worth - I am more than an ED and the awful things it makes me feel.

Strength - to keep going no matter what it takes. 

Freedom - To enjoy the little things -  blueberry muffins and shoes for example.

Truth- where honesty replaces distortion.

Life - to be present in it...

There are so many words that can be associated with both an ED and recovery.

Thankfully, in the end I put myself on the most favourable path... :)
