Hello beautiful warriors! I just wanted to pop in quickly to say a couple things: #1) You are loved đ #2) You are enough. đ #3) Just a quick life update: I am going to be out of NYC for the next week or so because I’m filming a pilot! (Yes, I’m an actor) đContinue reading Life Update
A Father’s Day Lesson
#HonestyHour Father’s Day is upon us here in the US. And every year, when it comes, I am full of just a mixed bag of emotions: love, gratitude, admiration, feeling blessed — those are all pretty common, and wonderful things. But since my anorexia, I have to be honest: in my mind and heart, thisContinue reading A Father’s Day Lesson
Beauty Beyond Bones
In light of my recent Instagram fiasco, I have decided to change my handle from anorexiarevealed to @Beauty.Beyond.Bones I had been feeling prompted to change my name for quite some time, and this seemed like the push from God that I needed to make the change. The former tends to focus more on the darknessContinue reading Beauty Beyond Bones
Clear Eyes, Full Hearts: Can’t Lose
Friday Night Lights. If you haven’t seen it, stop what you’re doing, and watch it on Netflix. All of it. I’m not kidding. You’ll thank me later.. Truth be told, I watched the entire series in one huge marathon, otherwise known as binge watching. Side note: as someone with an ED history, I hate that term with a passion.Continue reading Clear Eyes, Full Hearts: Can’t Lose
Fight Fear Less
What are you afraid of? Really. I want you to put it into words. Verbalize it. What keeps you up at night? During my anorexia and for some of much of recovery, I was afraid of the weight restoration. I was afraid of certain foods; that “all elusive” weight range; how my body was goingContinue reading Fight Fear Less
Recovery Is…
When I was deep in my anorexia, it was hard to imagine what a life without ED would look like. It was such a foreign concept. An abstract notion. I was trapped in a box that kept getting smaller and smaller, and I couldn’t picture what a life free from that “ED box” would be. So IContinue reading Recovery Is…
CRUSH THE SNAKE
ED is a slithering, slimy, snake in the way he can sneak his way into unexpected places in your life. A no-good, dirty, good-for-nothing snake. And you know what you do to a snake? YOU CRUSH IT. You chop off its head. Stomp on its face with the heel of your stiletto. You skewer it, cook it over an open flame andContinue reading CRUSH THE SNAKE
He’s Jealous
Jesus is jealous of ED. There. I said it. You’re scratching you head. Whaaaat is this chick talking about? Has she completely lost it? Blasphemy! Just hear me out. Nowadays, a lot of us envision Jesus as this hippie-esq dude sporting sandals, flowing locks, and an easy-going peace sign, strumming an acoustic guitar, singing Kumbaya. ThankContinue reading He’s Jealous
Read This When Times are Hard
Close your eyes. Imagine yourself free. There’s no more fear surrounding food. There’s no more anxiety about burning calories or feeling enslaved to exercise. You’re just you. Free. Doing what you love to do. Maybe that’s dancing. Maybe that’s frolicking outside in the sunshine, or playing a musical instrument, or laughing with your friends. Whatever it is, ED isContinue reading Read This When Times are Hard
Recover with Urgency #JuneAttackWeekend
A scary thing happened to me today. I was cooking my lunch on the gas stove this afternoon when the pot boiled over. Ugh – annoying. The flame blew out. Oh well, it was finished cooking anyways. So I took the pot off the burner. And since there was no visible flame, I forgot to turn it offContinue reading Recover with Urgency #JuneAttackWeekend
