Things I Love in Life

I believe in recovery you have to learn to love yourself.  If you don't love yourself your recovery won't be as successful as it could be. There are so many wonderful things out there waiting for you to discover.  Take a risk and get out of your comfort zone and discover what you like without your eating disorder
