Quote reblogged from Recovery is Beautiful
Eating disorders lie. They deceive us into believing that whatever and however much we eat is wrong. They insist that whatever we weigh is shameful, and that whatever size or shape we may be is never good enough. When it comes to recovery, however, the most pernicious lie in ED’s arsenal has nothing directly to do with eating. Rather it’s the notion that we “need” to be left alone.
In fact, it’s not the person but the illness that depends on isolation. Starving, bingeing and purging are secretive and solitary behaviors that feed on shame… Shame makes sure that we feel alone in the world and stranded. As a result, isolation becomes the hollow core around which an eating disorder spirals.
