I have had so many clients that never ever ever thought they were going to get better….then they did. 😭

Hold on 🫶🏼

If your body has changed in 2022 and you’re still grieving those changes, you don’t have to make a year in review reel. You reaaaallly don’t.

Protect yourself, protect your recovery. ⭐️

[Emily Murray, RD, LDN, CEDS @emilymurrayrd]

shout out to everyone who is eating breakfast, lunch, today, even if no one else around you is ♥️

You are not alone 🙏🏼

[Emily Murray, RD, LDN, CEDS @emilymurrayrd]

You will not be sick enough for your eating disorder until you’re dead.

(Read that again).

Reminder: Black coffee is not morally superior 🙂

When I’m going through a difficult season, something that helps me is reading about/learning from/connecting with others who have had a similar experience.

This is why I openly talk about my experience with my eating disorder + recovery 💗

You can love Jesus *and* still need multidisciplinary, professional treatment for your eating disorder. 💯🙏🏼

STOP THE TOSS

[Oona Miller Hanson, MA, MA @OonaHanson]

Not eating lunch at school is becoming normalized.

This trend is deeply concerning.

Do you know what the cafeteria culture is at your child's school?

It’s not uncommon for ED to blind you to the problems it causes in your life.

[Emily Murray, RD, LDN, CEDS @emilymurrayrd]

It’s not uncommon for ED to tell you that you cannot be happy or OK without it.

[Emily Murray, RD, LDN, CEDS @emilymurrayrd]

It’s not uncommon for ED to convince you to eat bland, gross tasting food to try and convince you that you don’t like food.

[Emily Murray, RD, LDN, CEDS @emilymurrayrd]

It’s not uncommon for Ed to call you a failure for engaging in a behavior, and in the same breath to call you a failure for not doing recovery right.

[Emily Murray, RD, LDN, CEDS @emilymurrayrd]

It’s not uncommon for ED to say,

“you can’t eat more because then you will start to feel hungry more regularly and that is bad.”

[Emily Murray, RD, LDN, CEDS @emilymurrayrd]

When you’re healing your relationship with food, you may find yourself craving for carbs more than anything else.

This is incredibly normal, especially if you have been restricting carbs.

What’s the solution?
Allow yourself to eat the carbs 👍🏼

[Emily Murray, RD, LDN, CEDS @emilymurrayrd]

If you are struggling with feelings of ambivalence towards your recovery, consider the possibility that those feelings are actually a symptom of your eating disorder.

[Emily Murray, RD, LDN, CEDS @emilymurrayrd]

The longest relationship you will have on this earth?

Your relationship with your body.

[Emily Murray, RD, LDN, CEDS @emilymurrayrd]

Wear the shorts.
Show your arms.
Go to the lake.
Eat the food.
Attend the cookout.
Hug the people you love.

Life is too short & too precious to not do things because of your body. 🙏🏼

[Emily Murray, RD, LDN, CEDS @emilymurrayrd]

Have you ever looked in the mirror one day and thought “gross I look bad” and then the VERY NEXT DAY looked at yourself and thought “hmmm I’m looking pretty good” ?

This is one example of how body image works (and how rapidly it can shift!)
