As humans, we crave structure and discipline. But what if some of that structure is just a failed attempt to implement more control? For the recovery of my eating disorder, it’s important for me to have as little rules and restrictions as possible. A huge part of my past disordered eating was an effort to control a life I felt I had little free will or say in. It is an exercise in trust to lessen my grip on as many things as possible, including my diet. I have to lean into trust. Trust that my intuition is strong enough at this point to guide me with discernment to make healthy choices.
