What helped you stay hopeful throughout recovery?

Experiencing a slip in recovery doesn’t mean you’ve done anything “wrong,” and binary thinking of a “right” and “wrong” way to do recovery can often trap us more than help us. 😮‍💨

If you’re noticing old behaviors and thought patterns resurfacing:

👉 Maybe you’re having persistent negative thoughts about your food or body
👉 Or you’re avoiding social situations where food is involved
👉 Or you’re falling back into old behaviors (or picking up new ones)…

That doesn’t mean you’re “back at square one” — it’s a cue to pause and ask for help.

Our Relapse Prevention Track is designed to ease these types of distressing thoughts about food or body image and recharge your body and mind. Learn more about this program: https://bit.ly/4pdK7F0

Recovery isn't just about the big breakthroughs — it's also about the subtle shifts, the quiet choices, the small wins that can be *so* easy to miss.

When you know what to look for, progress becomes clearer. So we asked our dietitians: "What does nutrition progress *actually* look like in recovery?"

Swipe to read their thoughts. And remember: recovery looks different for everyone. Some of the "wins" outlined here might not be your experience, and that's okay. 💙

"My eating disorder promised confidence. Recovery delivered a life. Better relationships. Rest without guilt. Joyful movement.

Travel, connection, hobbies, and nourishment. Recovery gave me presence, energy, connection, and freedom… things I never found while trying to shrink myself. Healing didn’t take my life away. It gave it back."

— Julia Parzyck, Say It Brave Member

Eating disorders make the world feel smaller. They narrow your focus, limit your sense of options, and make reaching outside yourself feel unfamiliar or unsafe.

When shame and embarrassment are present, asking for help can feel impossible. You may not know what to say, who to tell, or where to start. That uncertainty is part of what keeps you stuck.

Getting support rarely begins with clarity. It often begins with noticing that something isn’t right and allowing that awareness to exist.

When you’re ready, find a safe space to share. Help can start from a very small opening, even before you have the perfect words. 💙

"I am years into recovery, and now most former wins have become a natural habit and go unnoticed. But it’s always a good feeling when the occasional moment stands out, and you remember how far you have come." 🫶

What's something recovery gave you that your eating disorder couldn't?

We posed this question on facebook the other day, and we got soooo many beautiful responses — 100 and counting!!! We wanted to share some of the responses here to hopefully bring a glimmer of hope to anyone that's struggling.

And to those that are in the thickkkk of the struggle right now — the feelings and experiences detailed in these responses may feel impossibly out of reach. But remember: every single comment came from someone who undoubtedly hit their own personal rock bottom and was still able to come out of it.

So give yourself some grace, be gentle with yourself as much as you can, and remember that you *can* do hard things. 💙
