This weekend marked the release of my very first ebook, called Inspiring Recovery: A Healing Workbook to Inspire + Support Full Eating Disorder Recovery!!!!

Yayyy for you because you can get it right now, completely FREEEE!!!

But first, let me tell you about how the workbook, Inspiring Recovery came to be.  Sit back, relax and sip a cup of your favorite hot beverage because this is going to be a long one!

For as long as I can remember, I have enjoyed collecting inspirational quotes and affirmations, meaningful poems, random sayings and motivational writings that are helpful.  I love to find fresh new eating disorder quotes that really make me think or help me shift my perspective about myself and life.

I have collected hundreds of them over the years and they have helped me grow, stretch and transform in tremendous and miraculous ways.

A few years ago, when I really “got serious” about my recovery, I decided I needed something to help me along the way.  I put together a collection of the most inspiring, helpful quotes, affirmations, exercises and sayings that I could find – important, powerful things that I NEEDED to remind myself of EVERY DAY for my eating disorder recovery.

 Food was there to nourish my body, but I also needed healing words and thoughts to nourish me, to comfort my frazzled mind, tame my emotional side, and heal my fractured spirit.

 

I got a pretty new journal and wrote in it and glued stuff in it and made it a beautiful recovery healing space for me.  It went with me everywhere I went and I read it every day when I woke up, at mealtimes, at bedtime, and especially when I was extremely anxious or having a binge/purge urge.  I kept adding to it, writing out affirmations, new inspiring quotes, and doing recovery for bulimia exercises in it (ex. Conversation with ED).

This journal really helped me to:

•  Stay positive and focused on my eating disorder recovery, shift my mindset away from the eating disorder thinking, and clear my limiting “eating disordered” beliefs.
• It helped me tune in to my body, my emotions, and my spirituality.
• It allowed me to be clear enough to decipher the “eating disorder voice” from my own, true real inner voice and guidance.
• It created new, healthy, good feeling thought patterns that would support the new beliefs and values that I wanted to have when I was “recovered,” learning how to love myself, and best of all was that it actually felt good.

You see, when I finally “woke up” and became aware of all the destructive “eating disordered” thoughts and negative thinking that was inside my head, I became frightened.

How could I believe and say all those horrible and harmful things about myself?  Thoughts like, I am fat, worthless, ugly, I suck at life, I don’t deserve to be happy, I’ll never recover, and on and on.

These thoughts stem directly from limiting beliefs in my subconscious, which are just things that I learned about life growing up – through my environment, my experiences, my parents, siblings, peers, school, church, the media, my psychology, personality, etc. 

I understood that I now had a choice about what I want to believe and not believe, and I realized that it didn’t really matter how I came to be this way.

I developed the eating disorder as a way to survive growing up.  I didn’t know any better.

It’s not good, or bad, it just is.

I didn’t know how to handle or deal with my emotions and I felt out of control.  The eating disorder developed as a means of control, a release, an escape from the self-hatred and perfectionism that plagued my very existence.

I knew I had to get rid of these negative dysfunctional eating disordered thoughts and limiting beliefs- but then what?  What would be left?

I needed a better way of thinking, a new perspective, mindset, beliefs and values that supported me and my recovery.

In other words, I started to believe what I wanted to believe and think what I wanted to think.

But my thinking was so distorted that I needed a constant reminder of what I was doing, essentially “reprogramming” myself and un-learning those old behavior patterns, thinking patterns, and clearing the underlying beliefs that were limiting me, keeping the eating disorder alive, and some were just plain untrue.

So this book that I am offering you for free today is exactly what I came up with, more or less.

I used this book to get me out of the dysfunction, let go of the eating disorder and change the very things that were holding me back in my recovery.

I had to change (or simply delete) the beliefs and self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors that actually caused the eating disorder to occur in the first place.

Is this making sense to you yet?

Inspiring Recovery: A Healing Workbook for Eating Disorder Recovery was born and I am forever changed by the words and quotes contained in this book you are about to receive.

It is powerful, but only if you allow it to work in your life.

The changes can happen if you are open-minded, ready to do whatever it takes, and willing to look deep within yourself for answers, sometimes disregarding what is traditionally accepted in “normal” society and discovering your own true path for yourself in this life.

Above is the link to sign up with your name and email and after confirming your email address, you will be able to download the book in pdf form.  Yayyy, I’m so excited for you to receive!!!

Download, print out and use it in any way you like!  Have fun, be creative and let me know your experience with it!

You have nothing to lose but the eating disorder and everything to gain – fully healing your mind, emotions, body, soul, and receiving all the joy, love, happiness, contentment, peace, FREEDOM and all good things that come when you free yourself of the eating disorder for good!

Enjoy my friend!!!

Peace, Love + Freedom,
