Came to Montreal for a steamé.
CW: ED Recovery
Let me just get real for a second. A big reason why I am not as active on here as I used to be is because I began ED recovery about 2.5 years ago and I just want you to know that it was worth it.
Here’s me, completely enjoying a food I never allowed myself to have a few years ago. I enjoyed this moment for several reasons:
1. I love Montreal, it’s a beautiful city and I have many precious memories here. 2. I was with one of my closest friends, and this was right after a concert we both loved. 3. A steamé is the best way to eat a hotdog.
And you know what? Not one thought was on my body. On what I’d need to do to “make up” for enjoying a hotdog. On where this hotdog would “go” on my body once I finished eating. On how bad a person enjoying it made me. Recovery is on the shortlist for hardest things I’ve ever done, and possibly will ever do. For me, it’s a daily decision to choose life, to choose myself, to choose my loved ones, to choose joy, and freedom. Hard, yes. Worth it, absolutely.
