WHY I STARTED D’NOURISH CIRCLE

I never imagined that one of the hardest seasons of my life would become the reason D’Nourish Circle exists today.

This is the story behind the community.

@Obianuju2721931 Let’s be gentle, she was a traumtized teenager.

Being graped and tortured by step dad
A boy being killed in front of her
Finding out her sister is a murderer
Being kidnapped twice and tortured

Who can deal with these at a young age? Her reactions were valid!!

@_MzJayde The story isn’t far from that direction, I would not be surprised

[D’NourishCircle | Eating Disorder awareness NG @nourish_circle]

@MrMekzy_ No calls except it’s an emergency and No texts but I can text randomly in btw like twice to check in.

Allowing them to enjoy the outing is important.

[D’NourishCircle | Eating Disorder awareness NG @nourish_circle]

@Ironmute If you eat whenever you feel hungry, it’s an healthy eating habits.

It becomes too much eating when you over feed yourself especially when you feel full already.

Eating healthy is all that matters.

@MaryRoseMalomo She looks under weight now….. prolly struggling with an eating disorder.

[D’NourishCircle | Eating Disorder awareness NG @nourish_circle]

@Gboye_Rave She is 17 years old for crying out loud….. her whole life has been traumatic. She handled it the best way she could.

@a__vanita Isn’t that bed too flat? Aahh

[D’NourishCircle | Eating Disorder awareness NG @nourish_circle]

This is one reason I started D’Nourish Circle to create more honest conversations about eating disorders and help make it easier for people to speak before they reach breaking point.

You are not alone 💜

[D’NourishCircle | Eating Disorder awareness NG @nourish_circle]

I struggled with an eating disorder while working a 9–5 and dancing.

For a long time, I thought I had to keep functioning because, from the outside, I looked like I was doing just fine.

[D’NourishCircle | Eating Disorder awareness NG @nourish_circle]

If that’s you, I hope you know this:

You don’t have to wait until your struggle becomes visible before you deserve support.

Your body isn’t a performance.

Food isn’t a reward or punishment.

And being able to function doesn’t mean you aren’t struggling.

[D’NourishCircle | Eating Disorder awareness NG @nourish_circle]

I’m sharing this because there are people going to work tomorrow who are struggling quietly.

Dancers rehearsing while fighting thoughts about food.

Students eating with guilt.

Parents worrying about their bodies.

All functioning on the outside while struggling on the inside.

[D’NourishCircle | Eating Disorder awareness NG @nourish_circle]

I learned that you don’t have to fit the stereotypical image of someone with an eating disorder.

You don’t have to look thin.

You don’t have to stop eating completely.

You don’t have to stop living your normal life.

Eating disorders can be much more complicated than that.

[D’NourishCircle | Eating Disorder awareness NG @nourish_circle]

The hardest part was probably how normal everything could look from the outside.

I was still working.

Still dancing.

Still pursuing my goals.

So there was this assumption that I was okay.

But functioning isn’t the same thing as being well.
