Recovery Stories

Christine Robinson
October, 1998

There were dark days when I thought it would be easier just to live on cucumbers and water and let the rest of the world slip away. When the only things that mattered were the numbers on the scale and the diminishing portions on my plate. No one warns you how hard recovery is, no one tells you that it is a constant battle between the voice whispering "Eating is good!" and the voice screaming "You're going to get fat! You're evil and weak!"

BUT IT IS WORTH IT!!!

I had forgotten how good Thanksgiving dinner can taste, I had forgotten how much fun it can be to share a slice of cake with my girlfriends. I didn't believe that I would ever be able to buy cookies just because I like the taste, and look in the mirror and say "Wow, I'm cute!"

IT IS SO WORTH IT!

I don't spend days dreading my friends' potluck dinners. I don't have to make excuses for running to the washroom after every meal. I actually feel hunger again, and I savour the feeling of being comfortably full and satisfied after a meal. I have the energy to go out dancing and hiking and to run with my dog in the park. I no longer interpret every persons' words as comments about my weight.

IT IS WORTH IT!

To those of you who are fighting this, don't give up! Choose life, choose health, and you won't regret it!
