An aspect of eating disorder recovery involves giving respect to the body itself and learning not only its language but also how to heed what the body says.
What if the anorexic woman listened to her endocrine system that cried out for nourishment as hormonal function shut down?
What if the bulimic woman listened to her esophagus plead for a rest from the continuous flow of digestive acids?
What if the compulsive eater or binge eater listened to a stomach that cried out for mercy and relief from the continuous need to stretch to the point of pain?
What if, instead of war, we learned to make peace with our bodies?
to be good listener is one of the most difficult things on earth
ReplyDeleteespecially when it's about listening to ourself
we listen much more what goes around outside
what the others think
what the others say
and we forget...the inner voice
wise vale :)
ReplyDeleteyes, the quality of our life is much better in times when we listen to ourselves. but life is a cycle. we start every time again, passing from a balance to another.
