How I Knew I Had Recovered From My Eating Disorder

<p>I don&rsquo;t recall a specific moment in which I suddenly felt recovered; what I do remember are moments in which I began to see my body for what it was: normal, and strong, and worth loving.</p> <p>Mirrors were never accurate reflectors of my appearance &mdash; not once the eating disorder began. Mirrors held only lies, or confirmed the words my eating disorder voice so often told.</p> <p>When I started to recover, I found that I could stand in front of a mirror and witness my reflection. Not&nbsp;<em>see</em>&nbsp;it, so much. But face it. Stay still, for a moment. Tolerate it.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@megochs8/how-i-knew-i-had-recovered-from-my-eating-disorder-bd44ea3fbb8d"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
