I'm still doing pretty well in recovery. I consider myself to have an anorexic mind that must constantly be tamed.
There's a part of me that cannot believe I was anorexic and another part that remembers it all too well.
My little family means so much to me, and that helps me keep my head on straight.
I'm an active person, a worship leader, an advisor on more boards than I'd like to be a part of, a mentor for young girls (none with EDs, though - I'm not strong enough), a busy mama, a birth professional, a small business owner and I teach people how to lead worship. I'm a dreamer, a runner, a coffee drinker and a jokester. I love meeting new people and I feel like I have friends everywhere I go. I have very little free time and I like that but sometimes I think I keep my schedule packed because I'm not ready to deal with what will be in my head in the stillness.
I'm passionate about justice, natural childbirth and parenting/living, and living Christ-like. I'm unconventional, I cuss (once you know more), I'm not legalistic, I just can't bring myself to judge others, I love to laugh, and a I'm free spirit.
I don't talk to anyone professionally about by eating disorder any longer, but I inform my husband of my status frequently. He is a busy pastor and I stand by his side, with very few knowing even minute details of my story. They all think I married young, we were missionaries, then we came to their church. It works well as I don't think I'd ever want people to know many of these things.
Besides that, it's just my little family, my big God, and me, working to keeping any disordered eating out of my life.
I have so many dreams and plans and love to help other people. I can't let any eating disorder weigh me down or steal any more of my life!
