Here is a big myth about being recovered from an eating disorder that I always thought was true: ”Your life is full of rainbows and unicorns and you will be forever free!" (and here are some more myths in case you are curious) I always thought that once I am recovered and free of my food- and body obsession I will be happy. Why? Well, because for so many years the only thing weighing me down was my issue with food and my body. Once that was gone, everything was going[...]
