I know the pattern too well. I know the eating disorder cycle. And I know what underlies the pattern that keeps the dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors going… many times it is simply a belief that we are NOT GOOD ENOUGH. A belief that I AM NOT WORTHY or DESERVING.
Do you resonate with that?
How many times have you attempted recovery only to FAIL because of one simple fact: You self-sabotaged yourself because you didn’t believe in yourself, you didn’t believe it was possible, and you didn’t believe you were even worthy or deserving of achieving full recovery, freedom, joy, love and 100% unconditional love for yourself!?!?!
The eating disorder is notorious at making us believe that we are unworthy and that we should be ashamed of ourselves or our actions. It will LIE to you and tell you that you are not good enough and that you DESERVE to suffer. It will tell you that you DESERVE to struggle.
But deep down in your heart– what is the truth that lies there?
If you really went deep and accessed the infinite wisdom of your soul, of your spirit, of your true authentic self… what would she tell you?
This is the part of you that loves you unconditionally, that believes in you 100% and KNOWS with every cell of her being that YOU DESERVE TO RECOVER. That it is POSSIBLE for you to fully recover and go after your DREAMS.
This is what we need to constantly remind ourselves in recovery… that NO MATTER WHAT the eating disorder says, it is NOT the truth. There is a deeper and wiser part of you that KNOWS and BELIEVES that you can DO THIS. That you are CAPABLE. That this is not just a dream– rather a POSSIBILITY for your life, if you only make a DECISION to go after it with all your heart!!!!
Today, my message for you is simple: You are worthy and deserving of recovery!! You are ENOUGH. You deserve to live a life of your DREAMS and break FREE!!! And… you are 100% CAPABLE.
Watch this short video below for a special message from me, and a juicy journaling prompt for you to dive into for homework this week.
Dear Lauren
Thank you for sending this video out. I just recently found your website and am benefiting from your kindness and words of wisdom so much. In a world where it is difficult to share this secret and to find people who understand, you are a welcome soul each and every time you post. Your voice, inner beauty and outer beauty are inspirational to me.
thank you again for this video today. And yes, please continue
I thank you for this. I feel that every time I am either struggling to eat more or having difficulties with things, your messages pop up just at the right moment, quite bizarrely in fact. They keep me going and I am grateful for that. As an adult sufferer in the process of getting on with my meal plans and being a wife, mum and daughter, I am really really grateful to have posts and messages of hope snd support like this. I feel I am heading in the right direction but it’s because of these messages that i think I’ve finally had the light bulb moment. Keep them coming though, as it’s not easy in the slightest. Every meal takes thinking and assessing at the moment. But you help.
Love your videos always, Lauren! Keep them coming!! Love and light right back to you <3
I have the fat day daily it is hard to pin point how I feel at times. I just want to shave off the skin ugh. I do not do the eating disorder but the thoughts keep coming
