Recovering from an eating disorder is hard, especially when you're trying to do it yourself. It's time that we stop keeping things a secret, and start doing this together.
My name is Serenity, 17, and for my Senior Project, I am learning how to play the piano in parallel to recovering from my eating disorder. This blog is for me to be able to document my progress, and also to connect to anyone who has gone through it. As a follower, I am asking you to give me any suggestions you have that help when recovering. Also, you are more than welcome to submit your story and a picture of yourself. Recovery takes lots of patience, a support system, and the belief that we can do this. While recovering, there are many realizations that people come to, and if recording my progress will help someone else start their journey to becoming healthy, then it's more than worth the vulnerability.

The media is the message and the messenger and increasingly a powerful one.

RETRAIN YOUR BRAIN: Repeat after me: Be more critical of the media, be less critical of yourself.
Why spend your time nit picking in the mirror? Why not question the track that brought you to this point? WHY ARE YOU SO CRITICAL OF YOUR BODY? There are a number of reasons, but for now, let’s just look at one. Why not question the media/advertising? Use that energy that you use to criticize your reflection, to change the world, not your body.
