Hey! Welcome!!

Have a seat! Let’s chat, shall we? We should probably start with introductions. I’ll go first. My name is Beth. I am a wife and mother of four, who is also actively in recovery, for a second time, from an eating disorder.

I suppose it’s safe to say that this blog is just one more way for me to navigate through this recovery process. Being a mom, although incredibly rewarding (why do we always feel the need to state that part? Like someone out there is going to think less of me if I don’t first make sure everyone knows I find motherhood incredibly rewarding… so annoying!). Anyways, it’s a difficult job in and of itself. Throwing recovering into that mix can seem almost impossible. I guess that’s where this idea originated. I wanted to be able to express my day-to-day life, what I am going through, how I am feeling, what this whole thing looks like, so that maybe someone else who is in a similar situation can not only feel less alone but give their feedback too. I mean what’s better than putting your personal life out in the world for all to see and then allowing people to comment on it…hmmm? maybe I need to rethink this whole thing? Nah, I can handle it!

This is a safe space. There is no judgement. No cookie-cutter recovery. No shame and I am by no means, an expert on recovery. However, I am on my second round of recovery, so I think it’s safe to say I have gathered some knowledge about it along the way. But the hope is, maybe through my personal experience and transparency, someone else will be able to continue to fight to live their life to the fullest!

Ok! Let’s do this!!
