THE CROHNICALLY BLONDE PODCAST: THE TRUTH ABOUT THE LIFELONG JOURNEY OF EATING DISORDER RECOVER

In honor of Eating Disorder Awareness Week, Diane and I decided to take the plunge and share our truths about ED recovery this week on the podcast.

I started my journey through treatment and towards recovery 8 years ago now and have learned that it is a just that... a journey. There is no magic switch that makes an eating disorder go away, not to mention the havoc that my Crohn's has wreaked on my body image. 

It took me a long time to want to share my story so publicly, especially on my own platform, which I know seems weird coming from someone who talks about bowel movements and vomiting like it is my day job. For some reason (which we dive into in the podcast) talking about a mental illness was more difficult for me to address than talking about my physical one. 

The topic of ED's and even more the topic of recovery are so near and dear to Diane and I. We've both suffered, fought, been knocked down, gotten back up again, and that is why we share our stories, as uncomfortable as it may be. You're not alone.

Whether you have an ED, have had an ED, know someone who has an ED, or just ever experienced negative self talk and put yourself down because of something related to your body, please give this a listen. 

Listen to our stories, feel free to share with us yours, and lets continue to fight this stigma and utilize this community to continue healing. 

Stay tuned this week because there are some more blog posts coming about ED related issues, recovery, and a whole lot of realness.
