Holidays can be hard for people with eating disorders, mainly because so many of them are centered around food. Like Easter. From the family dinner to the candy the Easter Bunny brings, anxious emotions can arise.
This year I urge you to find new meaning for the holiday. Easter comes in spring and that means renewal. Look around you. Flowers are blossoming and trees are gaining their leaves back. The earth is blooming once again after the winter.
My wish for you is to do the same. Use the meaning of today for your own life. Today you are blossoming, being reborn into the person you are meant to be. Not what your disease wants you to be. Cast away your former shell, and emerge as the amazing person you are. Keep this message close to your heart for the days ahead. Maybe even allow yourself to have some Easter candy and don't feel guilty about it. I'm for sure going to enjoy some.
love and light, Kelly
