We can't be perfect. We can't know everything. But we can recognize that we are better together. Don't go it alone. Get the support you need to make it through recovery. 💕#edwarrior #edrecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorder #parentingteens #parenting #parents Magazines are fun and shiny. They are tempting, but watch them carefully for dangerous messages about perfection and beauty, especially if your kids are reading them! 💕 #edrecovery #edwarrior #parentingteens #parents #parenting "It'd be cool if this was part of the school curriculum growing up. Can you imagine?" @sasha_tozzi 💕 #lovewarrior #lovequotes #love #parentlove #parents #parenting #edwarrior Stand up and speak up against those gathering in hatred. 👊🏼💔#Repost @designsponge via @rarenaud and @unabridgedbookstore #lovenothate #blacklivesmatter #prayforvirginia #charlottesville #onlylovecanconquerhate No person has the right to touch without permission. Thank you @taylorswift for standing up for girls and women everywhere who face daily pressure to ignore inappropriate groping 💕 #parents #parenting #parentlove #edwarrior #traumasurvivor #parentingteens #parentinggirls #handsoff #fearlessera #fearless This really happened in a vet's office. Without judgement or criticism of either my beloved 'fat' cat or me. I wonder how it would have gone down if I was talking to a pediatrician about my kids? I have a feeling it would have been different. What do you think? #edrecovery #fatcats #healthateverysize #haes #parents #parenting Diets do not result in lasting weight loss and are a known precursor to eating disorders. Let's stop childhood dieting, family dieting, and all dieting! 💕 #losehatenotweight #haes #healthateverysize #recovery #healing #edwarrior #edrecovery #allbodiesaregoodbodies Parenting is hard. We don't need to make it harder by trying to emulate what other people are doing. But we all benefit from getting feedback and support from therapists and coaches so that we can amplify our best qualities as parents and build the skills that our children need to thrive. 💕 #parents #parenting #parentlove #parentingteens #parentingtweens It's so very hard to break up with an eating disorder. No matter how much we want to. No matter how much our loved ones want us to. It is just fucking hard. Our eating disorder is a powerful force that provides guidance and comfort, and letting it go can feel devastating. But with the right care, lots of patience, and a lot of support, we can end our abusive relationship with our eating disorder forever and begin a beautiful new chapter in life. 💕#edwarrior #edrecovery #ednosrecovery #anarecovery #bulimiarecovery Eating disorders are about much more than the ED behavior. Most of us can stop restricting, binging and purging with therapy and support. But the problem is that if we think that stopping our behavior means we are healed, we are vulnerable to relapse. Because the ED behavior is just a symptom of a deeper issue inside of ourselves. Whatever the true issue: trauma; depression; anxiety; obsession; compulsion ... that is the real work of recovery, and that is where we can find full healing. To everyone who struggles with an eating disorder and for everyone who loves someone who has an eating disorder, we send you love as you continue your worthy journey. 💕 #edrecovery #edwarrior #eatingdisorders #eatingdisorderrecovery #anarecovery #bulimiarecovery #bedrecovery #ednosrecovery Just got back from epic back-to-back safaris, and this magnet in a Botswana shop reminded me that body image standards are culture-specific! #bopo #bodypositive #haes #healthateverysize #edwarrior #edrecovery #healthyisthenewskinny #loveyourbody #Repost @popsugar ・・・ Celebrating #HarryPotterDay & #JKRowling's birthday remembering the wise words of #AlbusDumbledore ⚡️ Teen girls are often dismissed as exasperating, difficult, dramatic and superficial. When our girls get eating disorders, maybe it is a way to show us how serious and powerful they can be. Our girls are our future. When we treat them with respect and honor their full power as humans and women, we can turn the tide and stop the increasing rates of eating disorders. 👊🏼💕Beautiful art by @kimothyjoy 💕 #edwarrior #edrecovery #eatingdisorders #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #parentingtweens #parentingteens #parenting Advice from a tween: how to comfort someone who is upset/crying. Seems about right! What would you add? 🌈💕 #tween #tweengirl #tweens #parents #parenting #parentlove #parentingteens #parentingtweens #lovewarrior Parenting is not an exact science. No matter what we do, our kids may still struggle. It's important when this happens to look forward, not back. To worry less about why this happened, and more about what we can do about it. As parents, we have a tremendous opportunity help our kids heal, and all we really have to do is open up to learning and loving! 🌈💕 #edwarrior #edrecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorders #eatingdisorderawareness #parents #parenting #parentlove #parentingteens Hope that everyone who is recovering from/has an eating disorder enjoyed a good day of eating yesterday, and felt no shame today! Because the only time we should feel ashamed after eating food is if we stole it 🇺🇸 🐶 #edwarrior #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorders #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #anarecovery #bedrecovery #bulimiarecovery #healthateverysize #mentalhealth My spirit animal = psychedelic punk unicorn 🌈💕 #edrecovery #edwarrior #eatingdisorderawareness #eatingdisorderrecovery #spiritanimal It's a holiday weekend! What if everyone made a Declaration of Independence from Disordered Eating? It would be so great! Please feel free to Regram and share to spread the love! ❤️ 🌽🌭🍰#edwarrior #healthateverysize #nodiets #eatingdisorders #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #edrecovery If we all stopped dieting, what a wonderful world it would be! 🌈💕 #edrecovery #edwarrior #eatingdisorderrecovery #nodiets #healthateverysize #parents #parenting #haes
