I spend way too much energy on comparisons.
She's pretty...am I pretty?*
Am I eating more than him? Less? The same amount? Am I eating more fats than him? What about carbs?**
Her job is so much better than mine; why does everyone have their life together but me?!***
Just as I wrote in a previous post that recovery isn't linear, it isn't one-size-fits-all either! Everyone's path is different; just as everyone's body type is unique and everyone's got their own kind of beauty - inside and out.
Instead of comparing my looks, meals, and recovery to others, I'm acknowledging that we're all different. ED aside, I think every person has their own gifts and uniqueness. I don't want to be like anyone else, I want to be Kaitlin!
Even though recovery is long and bumpy, this post is short and sweet. Be your own kind of beautiful, because God made you and He doesn't make mistakes!
*Yes, I am pretty. **Who cares? Your body has specific needs at this point and there is nothing wrong with that. ***Nobody has it all together. And that's okay.
