Day #4: Eating Disorder and Recovery Slogans...

#1: Eating disorders hurt. They kill. They are sneaky and secretive and lame. They do not discriminate. Anyone can be a prisoner. The slogan for eating disorders is:

I'll pull you close so you can hear
My evil whisper in your ear.

#2: Recovery is real. It's possible. It's life being lived. It's SO MUCH BETTER than life with an eating disorder. It's about the simple things, the positives, the healthy. The slogan for recovery is:

You can be free.
You hold the key.
YOU can be free.
YOU hold the key.


Recovery's slogan beats eating disorder's slogan every time. It's important to note: The first slogan is about IT. The second slogan is about YOU. I'd much rather chant

YOU CAN BE FREE. YOU HOLD THE KEY.

than

I'll pull you close so you can hear
My evil whisper in your ear.

Wouldn't you?

Chant on, friends.

the quiet lure of the ed voice and also the bright loud chant of the recovery voice!

it's the perfect way to describe both of these things.
