Often times with an eating disorder, I tend to ruminate
Internal conversations turn into a two-sided debate!
Will I choose what is familiar, what is known
Or will I take a risk and go outside my comfort zone?
For doing what I have always done
Has a set and predictable outcome.
Deciding if I should take a chance and trust
Although uneasy and frightening, to move forward, then I must.
By stepping back and taking a different perspective
I allowed myself not to succumb to ED’s directive.
Though at first I was puzzled with many quandaries
I realized to grow, it was necessary to expand my boundaries.
Now I am glad that, my rigid rules, I stepped outside
My racing heart and rapid pulse did eventually subside
The doubt I had has now turned into pride
Thank you to one and all for allowing me to confide!
