Things I’ve Realized Now That I’m Eating Disorder-Free
beating food addiction

Carbs actually do give you energy

Stairs are not really that hard to walk on

Going to sleep can be easy

Being hungry is the worst feeling in the world

Shin-splints don’t happen easily

Your weight on a scale is literally just the amount of gravity pulling down on you

A scale is a valuable tool in Physics class

Your body is meant for living, not for staring

Everybody’s body is different, so there’s no point in comparing yourself to others

Working out is fun, it’s not meant to be a chore

Running gives you a high, it doesn’t burn calories

Having dessert after every meal is a blessing

Coffee doesn’t really taste that good without cream and sugar

It’s nice to be able to eat the biggest piece of your birthday cake

A calorie is a unit of energy

Calories don’t count in more things than you can imagine

Nothing is better than ice cream on a hot day

Popcorn at the movies is a must

When you’re sad, make sure you eat an entire pint of Ben & Jerry’s or a tub of peanut butter… whichever works

Let your grandmother stuff you with her homemade meals

The words “fat” and “skinny” should be in no one’s vocabulary

You’re allowed to splurge and not feel guilty about it

Food brings people together

Thanksgiving is the day to go all-out, not to restrict

Your mind should probably think about food less than 5% of each day

When you get older, your clothes are meant to get tighter

No one fits into their jeans from 10 years ago

Trying foods from different countries is a great way of getting in touch with the culture

No one can look like celebrities because no one can afford their training plans

Cellulite is normal fat under your skin and everybody has it

You need food to be able to stay up and study

After-drinking munchies are the bomb

Denny’s or iHop at 2 a.m. is always the move

Having a meal with friends is actually enjoyable, not anxiety-provoking

Food doesn’t have to be on your mind 24/7

It’s crucial to talk about your feelings

It’s important to love yourself regardless of anything

Life is so much more beautiful without the weight of your thoughts constantly pulling you down
