BUILDING A BEAUTIFUL LIFE

You need to respect yourself and the time it is going to take to rebuild a life that you seemingly never learned how to build in the first place. It takes time to build a house, but in the long run you have the advantage of building the most beautiful home with every detail you’ve ever wanted because you know what didn’t work. Don’t think you are behind your peers, or panic that you suddenly need to catch up. Catch up to what? Your only priority should be getting well and that can take many months and even years of working with a treatment team and rebuilding new and healthy coping skills. ~Safety In Numbers: From 56 to 221 Pounds, My Battle with Eating Disorders
