Is true hapiness possible?

A lot of girls with EDs or in recovery wonder, is this it for me? Am I am ever going to be really happy? Will I ever have a better and different life?

I am here to tell you with absolute certainy, yes it is possible to be happy. however it is not something that just happens over night. You can only achieve true happiness within yourself. It is possible to for other people in your life to make you happy, but true complete happiness has to be happiness with yourself.

There was a time in my life not to long ago that I thought, is this it, is this the way my life is going to be? I did not want to live that way so I worked as hard as I could to change it. And I did. There are days that are better than others, but overall I have true happiness in my life. I work everyday on bettering myself, to achieve more. I am not talking about getting more "things" or material possessions. I work and strive everyday to make my self the best me that I can be. I try to keep all negativity out of my life, I try to always be positive, and I try to live everyday to the fullest, because you never know what the next day is going to bring.

I know that most people with EDs will say its easier said than done, this is very true. But if you take the steps everyday to heal yourself, work on recovery, and grow as a person, the outcome is an amazing feeling.

Having gone thru an ED for the past 23 years was very hard!!! I never thought that I would be where I am now. I spent so much of my life miserable and sad!!! I do not ever want to go back there, because I know how far I have come and how good it feels to be where I am now.

I am a firm believer in everything happens for a reason. Having gone thru this is what has made me who I am today. What I have gone thru has helped me find myself. The person that Have found, I can honestly say...I really like!!!

If you are reading this and you have an ED remember that it is possible to walk the road to recovery, it is hard, and at times seems impossible. You will never better your self and get ED out of your life until you make a concous decision that you are ready, willing, and able to move on.

Life is a funny thing. Its a long road filled with twist and turns and you will never know where it will take you. Not many people end up where they think they will, but that is ok. You have to make the best of whats in front of you, because only you can can decide what path you take. Only you can make yourself happy, and only you can give you the life that you want!!!
