Today marks a milestone in my journey towards health. Five years ago I made a commitment to myself to live a healthy lifestyle in recovery from an eating disorder that consumed me for many years. I have seen this horrible disease kill beautiful people and destroy relationships. For me It caused multiple hospitalizations, including an attempt to fix the damage I had done to my heart. If you would have told me five years ago that I would be married, a business owner, a personal trainer, and pregnant I would think you were crazy. I’m grateful for those in my life who’ve helped me through my worst, especially Brett. Living in recovery isn’t easy but it’s amazing.
