I make eggs for breakfast now
sept. 19, 2022I make eggs for breakfast now.
It used to be hard for me to eat, let alone cook for myself, and now I’m making eggs with toast & butter almost every morning!
When I was at my worst, my depression made it almost impossible to motivate myself to cook, and my ED made it so hard to convince myself I was worth eating food that I did make.
At the beginning of my ED recovery journey, the first thing I tackled was eating enough. While my food mostly consisted of protein bars, yogurt, and cereal, at least I was fueling my body. Now my main goal is to introduce foods that I had cut out in the past and find motivation to cook for myself.
This breakfast is a perfect example of my growth. I’ve been able to cook eggs for myself almost every morning, and while putting butter on my toast used to seem impossible, it’s a regular thing now. And not only does it taste good, I FEEL GOOD too!
If you eat good food, you’ll feel better & have more motivation, making it easier to cook for yourself the next time. It’s a cycle. I know it’s hard to start, but I promise it’s worth it. What seems impossible now won’t always be that way. I know it’s scary but just start. You deserve it
