It's September 4th! How did we get here?!

Gosh the year is just flying, isn't it?

Lately, I've been asked by women battling an unhealthy relationship with food & their body if recovery was worth it. Am I truly happy now? And I've seen so many women make the mistake of believing the lies. The lies that they will be miserable once they gain weight or that once they commit to putting their health first, they just won't like who they are.

Many women I work with 1:1, actually come to me feeling like they are stuck in this never-ending cycle of an eating disorder & they just aren't sure they will ever escape from it. I feel that on so many levels. & I have sat with all of those same thoughts & beliefs.

But I Recovered. & sis, so can you!

Today's episode is a special one, because I wanted to share with you 8 reasons why my battle with anorexia was the BEST thing that happened FOR me in my life, in hopes it gives you some assurance & peace.

Sister, sometimes the BEST thing & the WORST thing, can be the SAME thing!

My eating disorder was the BEST, WORST thing that I have experienced, & I am truly grateful for the process of recovery.

Robert Adams says, "There is only one decision you need to make: you are either working at your freedom or you are accepting your bondage."

Stop staying chained where you are sweet friend! There is so much more to this thing called life. 

My question for you today is: What is your freedom worth to you?

~

I hope today's show touches your soul & helps provide PROOF to you, that recovery is possible & that there is LIFE after an eating disorder. There is freedom available for you!

I pray you make the choice to surrender the hard, so that you can experience the gift of recovery in your life.

with love & hugs,

lindsey
