I'm so bitterly angry reading these eating disorder recovery blogs

"Eating disorders are deadly, but make sure you’re the 80% that live to tell the tale while drinking a hot chocolate with whipped cream and a heavenly piece of chocolate cake."

WE CAN'T EAT CHOCOLATE CAKE
WE CAN'T EAT THESE STUPID "NORMAL FOODS"

I HATE THAT SO MANY OF THESE RECOVERY BLOGS FRAME RECOVERY AS EATING CHOCOLATE AND PIZZA AND BREAD AND CAKE AND I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT

OUR BODY CANNOT EAT THOSE THINGS!!!! EVEN IF WE DO STOP THIS STUPID HORRIBLE PAINFUL SAD BINGE-PURGE DISORDER
WHEN WE DO STOP IT
WE STILL CANNOT EAT THOSE FOODS BECAUSE THEY WILL MAKE OUR BODY VERY VERY VERY SICK. MEDICALLY. NOT STUPID MENTAL FEARS

TO HECK WITH ALL OF THIS
I'M SO UNBEARABLY SAD


so what do we do?

WE FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN EAT HEALTHILY AND SAFELY WITHOUT PAIN AND WE FLAT-OUT IGNORE THE OTHER TRASH

we can't hate it though.

NO BUT WE CAN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE'RE ANGRY AND ACKNOWLEDGE WHY. BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHAT RECOVERY LOOKS LIKE FOR US AND IT NEVER WILL. AND IT'S NOT FAIR FOR THAT SORT OF RECOVERY TO BE PRESENTED AS THE IDEAL OR THE ONLY OPTION. THAT'S WHY WE'RE ANGRY. SOME PEOPLE DON'T GET THAT OPTION AND THAT'S VALID. THAT'S "FINE." AND WE NEED TO RESPECT THAT IN OURSELF.
