When you have disordered eating, it’s a disease of extremes, being ravenousness or busting at the seams, being completely numb to feelings or drowning in them? But see, the gradations in between have in fact been there all along, you were just not used to registering them because being numb to emotion was part of the life-saving response you had to your trauma. Being able to identify them now, and more importantly feeling them now, is evidence of your progress! It’s wonderful, actually!”
