It is SO easy to lose yourself when you’re with someone

Keywords: divorce , love , valentines day

I have begun to realize that I actually really like myself. I don’t mean that in some arrogant, I’m awesome way. I like that I can make people laugh, I like that I can do things by myself, I like that people come to me for advice, I like that sometimes all I want to do is lay in bed and read. There’s a saying that says you can’t love someone else until you love yourself. While I don’t entirely agree with that premise, I do think that you need to know yourself and what you stand for before you can be in a fulfilling relationship. If you don’t fully know you, how can you expect another person to?

I was advised NOT to be in a romantic relationship for at LEAST a year into recovery

Keywords: recovery , anorexia , bible , catholic , christianity , faith , family , fitness , god , healing , jesus , life , love , prayer

I finally understand now, why. Because I had to have a total and complete control over taking care of myself, my needs, my recovery, my self worth. I needed to be airtight, steady, totally and completely bulletproof to any lingering “ED issues” before I could invite someone else into my heart and relinquish control over many of those emotional areas.
