My vision for this blog is to provide hope for the hurting through sharing my personal journey as I recover from an eating disorder that once ran my life. Today, I am healthy and living out my dreams thanks to much prayer, therapy and rehab.However, I know fighting the force of an eating disorder is an everyday battle. I pray that this blog inspires you to keep pressing on and remember that your worth is not measured by the number on a scale.

What YOU Deserve
"Sometimes you have to forget how you feel and remember what you deserve." I heard this quote this week for the first time and wished I had heard it years earlier. At first when I heard it I of course related it to my current relationships and was inspired to stand strong for the kind of guy I deserve but as I continued to read it, I started to understand it in a different light. I realized that this is true for my recovery too. Even though I may feel fat one day, I need to remember my body deserves nutrition to live and so restriction or any other eating disorder behavior is not an option. My body deserves the very best. God created me to be a reflection of His handwork, why would I want to tarnish that. Therefore, I chose to plaster this quote all over my house so I never forget my priorities of what I really deserve and that is to have a happy and healthy lifestyle.
