In this post, I am going to do something I have not done before…

In my eating disorder recovery, I always found that writing a journal was incredibly useful to me as it helped me get out my frustrations, identify what was troubling me in that moment and then mentally process what I needed to do to move forwards.

Now, I know that I wrote a lot of Instagram and blog posts during my recovery but, as I say, there was a lot of more personal journal writing going on too… and that is what I am going to share with you in this post (or an excerpt from one of my many, many journal entries that were written in those recovery days!).

And I am sharing this as I hope that doing so might help some of you who are in a similar position to the one I was…
