SOURCE: “Nine Truths” is based on Dr. Bulik’s 2014 “9 Eating Disorders Myths Busted” talk at the National Institute of Mental Health.***

Dr. Bulik said, “The single best way to fight stigma is with truths.

The more we know and understand about eating disorders the better we can support those we care and love.

Maybe you are restling with the idea that: you will be laughed at if you were to be vulnerable about your true relationship with food and your body

Maybe you are struggling to validate your struggle because we live in a culture that perpetuates the thin ideals and equates food with morality

If it was a friend would you have dismissed them?

Chances are you have perfectionistic traits and a part of you is supporting the idea that indeed your symptoms are not strong enough

I’m here to tell you right now hanging a symptom is enough

Chances are when you decided you wanted to diet you also decided to move your body more, drink more water, hang out with your friends, relax, and plenty of other forms of self care.
They don’t have to get out of the window when dieting does.

Thank you for keeping my heart beating and allowing me to witness a sunset this morning 💚

It’s easy to forget what our bodies do for us and focus on its imperfections.

🔎Objectifying our bodies increases negative body image.

🧘🏽‍♀️Body functionality increases body trust, respect and appreciation.

🤯Thinking about the past
🤯Stressing over the future will not change the task in front of you
🧘🏽‍♀️Pay attention to what you are doing ( feel the water on your hands, Watch the steam from the stove, smell your favortive fragrance ( if of course covid hasn’t taken that from you 😬)

What to do when your thoughts automatically come up
💭Notice them
🎈Imagibe them to be balloons floating
🦋 or butterflies floating

just notice them vs engaging with them

This will remain a practice over time , your body will thank you

I’m curious, Do you find yourself thinking about something completely different during a task to the point of forgetting the task at hand?

I am constantly learning from their expertise and enjoying food ( all kinds of food) with them 💚

Weight does not indicate whether someone is alive or dead. Dictionary.com defines weight as the force that gravitation exerts upon a body, equal to the mass of the body times the local acceleration of gravity.

Example of vitals are

* blood pressure 🩸🩺🫀
* heart rate ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ♡ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ
* temperature 🌡

Trying to separate your attachment to the scale? Those are some good arguments towards that part of you still attached to it.

Affirmation for today:

My body is an instrument, not an ornament.

After 5 years of internship, delivering babies, not sleeping and breastfeeding ( all things my wonderful body supported me through) I am making time for what I was made to do: singing & worshiping with my church.

What is one thing you believe you were made for?

I’m nervous and excited all at once but guess what I’m not thinking about how my body looks during the experience because
