So yesterday, I did something pretty crazy. I went undercover. Yep, I pulled a Harriet the Spy and went on a real life spy mission. My best friend is actually a forensic psychologist, and basically that means that her life is literally an episode of CSI. Anyway, she had to go on an undercover gig,Continue reading Going Undercover
All He Wants to Do
Do you know how loved you are? Now, before you hit the snooze button, just hear me out. I always shy away from writing posts like these, because in all honesty, I feel like they’re usually suuuuuper cheesy, but sometimes, you just need to hear it. And tonight, for me, I do. I find that soContinue reading All He Wants to Do
Headlines and Hashtags
Recovery is a funny thing. When we first start out, we bolt out of the gate. We’re sprinting ahead at full speed. YEAH! I can do this! It’s full speed ahead, tackling this fear food. Then that fear food. We’re meeting calorie goals and increasing supplements week after week. And, aside from the usual freakContinue reading Headlines and Hashtags
Loving a Horse
Equine therapy. A concept that, before my anorexia, I didn’t even knew existed. Therapy…with a horse? WTF, mate? But it was part of my program at inpatient, and in all honestly, it really did help me a lot, even though I may not have wanted to admit it at the time. I recently went horsebackContinue reading Loving a Horse
We’re on His Wall
Grey’s Anatomy is a great show. I love it, I really do. And if you haven’t watched from the beginning, I highly HIGHLY suggest it. There’s a formula to the show. In every episode, there’s a patient. They’ve either been maimed by an inanimate object, have a car part or something protruding through their abdomen,Continue reading We’re on His Wall
21 Days
So this past week, I have been up at our lake home in Michigan. It’s a beautiful time together with family, sunshine, food-a-plenty, and of course, beer! It’s been really interesting for me to enter into this intense week of family time after just coming off of an intense period of filming on set. And itContinue reading 21 Days
Life Update
Hello beautiful warriors! I just wanted to pop in quickly to say a couple things: #1) You are loved 🙂 #2) You are enough. 🙂 #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) 😛Continue reading Life Update
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
