I don’t know how many times during recovery someone said “well, you look fine!!” That just made me feel even more inadequate. I actually lost a large amount of weight when I started eating real meals… it was like my body just freaked out and burned off everything before I became stable. Finally when I “looked the part” I was actually eating…. WTF. I lost so many years of my life and it has affected the subsequent years in so many negative ways. I wonder if other people who are recovered feel like that too? Like even when you are better, the butterfly effect of those years touches your every day life in negative ways, and you have to not only fight to stay healthy emotionally but also learn to acknowledge the screwed up ways it impacted your future.
