It is 110% possible

This time last year every single day was a challenge. This time last year every single day I searched for quick fix solutions. This time last year every single day I looked for a cause. And this day last year every single day I doubted that I could ever possibly live without an eating disorder. This time this year much indeed has changed.
I had gotten twisted and contorted and become utterly removed from the ground beneath my feet and the air around my body. I had gone to different counsellors and groups and read libraries of books on self help - alas all to no avail.
But one year passed and one year spent working in the right spot with the right people in the right setting on the right things has seen me put humpty dumpty back together again. Now of course there are bricks I want to polish and ones I'm considering replacing and that are too weakened and need special attention but this work will all be made that much easier with the knowledge that CHANGE REALLY DOES HAPPEN, CHANGE REALLY IS POSSIBLE. I got cynicism and depression and negativity out of the way and now changes happen faster and easier and needless struggle no longer happens.
For anyone who is still believing to see I promise you, I assure you, I GUARANTEE you, YOU ARE CHANGING, IT DOES WORK.
Today I can't wait for self confidence. Today I can't wait for self approval and self acceptance. And I particularly can't wait for allowing all my feelings and just me.
Like building our homes I have my foundation nicely set and the walls and roof in place, the tiler is calling tomorrow, the electrician and plumber after that and instead of worrying that they won't turn up I'm admiring the work done so far, acquainting myself with that and looking forward to meeting them too.
Change is possible.

Thank you Joyce for the lovely words I have just read. I had a smile on my face from start to finish. Hearing how your walls and roof are securely in place in your new home is inspiring. Your hard work has paid off, well done girl.

Ive always had hope that recovery is possible but im not gonna rush it as everyday is a new day, a new beginning and a another step closer to finding myself and being totally free.
