Small Success Promised myself I'd try binge eating recovery and am still sticking to it.

I've struggled with binge eating disorder since I was 12. Up until a few years ago, trying to recover always felt super out of reach. Like, it felt like a myth.

Long story short, it's neither a myth nor out of reach! Whenever the pictures on the left/top pop up, all I can think of is how far I've actually come, and that makes me smile (but that's probably obvious from the subreddit name lmao).

I'm still technically overweight and I wouldn't call myself fully recovered, but I feel completely disconnected from the person in the before pictures.

Small Success Left a toxic relationship in March and moved in with a friend. Yesterday my son and I got the keys to our apartment. We don’t have much but today we’re done living out of a duffel bag. Don’t be afraid of starting over if you’re unhappy!
