I 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
