Kesha has checked herself into a treatment facility. Goes to show that even if you have a successful career, it doesn't make your suffering any less important. I'm glad that she's taking care of herself. <3

Re: Positive books, songs, quotes, and more for ED Recovery!

I always listen to "Annie" by Safetysuit. It's about a girl (named Annie) who by all means, is no super model when it comes to looks, and yet she means so much to this one guy who's telling her that "looks don't make the world to round"/that looks don't mean everything. To this person, her smile lights up the room and she means the world to him.
Overall, we're all Annie, wanting to be beautiful yet not realizing the beauty we already have.
In my personal opinion, it's a real self-esteemed booster

I haven't read that one, but I've read enough Melody Carlson to safely say that she's a terrible author and her books are really not worth reading. :/

^This is my favorite blog, ever. She talks about REAL recovery, and I adore her. She's been a fountain of knowledge of knowledge to me. The "asks" contain a lot of numbers, and so it could be very triggering. But honestly, I think it's worth it, or at least it was in my case.

Re: Positive books, songs, quotes, and more for ED Recovery!

Bear with me, this could sound strange

There's this song I LOVE by Sixx:AM called "Girl with Golden Eyes" it's about giving up heroin and becoming clean, but there's one part where it's like a diary, day one, day two ect. describing the withdrawal and stuff, but it reminds me a lot of giving up my eating disorder behaviors, and how it feels bad ect but gets better. Helped with my SH too.

Re: Positive books, songs, quotes, and more for ED Recovery!

i LOVE the song "breathe me" by sia. it has an awesome piano part... and it also kinda describes a relapse for me ...

Re: Positive books, songs, quotes, and more for ED Recovery!

[COLOR="Navy”]It’s probably already been said, but oh well I think a great recovery song is ‘You Are More’ by Tenth Avenue North.
As for books I found ‘Monkey Taming’ by Judith Fathallah very genuine and real - I think you can identify with the characters well and it’s positive overall. Obviously any book about an eating disorder will be a bit of an unhappy read, at least partially, hey?[/color]

Re: Positive books, songs, quotes, and more for ED Recovery!

Positivity. I know that's unspecific, but it's been so important to my recovery. Songs, quotes, photos, pictures, hugs, lists...anything. Even when you're feeling negative, try to be positive about it, by saying to yourself that the negativity won't last.

Keep going guys <3

Break Free Of The Comparison Game

I am loving this website, it has amazing articles on stuff about ED's.
This new article I love, it's about 5 ways to break free of the comparison game, getting ready for summer and not comparing yourself to others!

Take a look:
http://proud2bme.org/content/5-ways-...omparison-game

And remember to try not to compare your body to other peoples'.
(Easier said than done, but I'm gonna work on this, and hopefully you guys are up for it too. )

Body Gossip videos on YouTube. I did originally find them through this thread, but I'm linking another video from them that I found really inspirational: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHfkX...feature=relmfu

Could possibly be triggering. But it made me cry & gave me strength

Re: Positive books, songs, quotes, and more for ED Recovery!

Triggering:
This is an amazing video of Demi Lovato's struggles during her recovery. She does talk about SH and her Eating Disorder, along with her mental illness that lead her there, so I have labeled it as triggering just in case, but it is a very positive and inspiring video.

Recovery App for android and IPhone users

There's an Eating Disorder Recovery app for the android and IOS devices called Recovery Record. You are able to log meals, write thoughts/feelings, pair up with other recovery record users, and so much more. If you live in the US or Aus, then you get an reward *not sure for android users* but I know for the people with IOS devices, you can get rewards from the app store for being active and logging meals. They also have very good coping tactics and reflections. It's worth a look.
