5 things to let go of in recovery
Hello and welcome back to my blog! I haven’t spoken about my eating disorder recovery, really at all, on this blog. I’m not sure why because I did create this blog to help anyone who is suffering and to maybe talk about my experience with anorexia (not ready to do that yet). The things listed …
