“I’m not sick enough to recover.” This eating disorder recovery message offers support to help you navigate the difficult beliefs around not feeling valid, serious enough or sick enough to deserve treatment and recovery.

If you've ever had these thoughts, you are absolutely not alone. But you do not need to reach a certain weight, become more medically compromised, or make your eating disorder worse before you are allowed to recover.

If you're struggling and the eating disorder is impacting your quality of life, you deserve support. And if part of you is waiting until you're “sick enough” before taking recovery seriously, I hope this video helps you question that rule. Quasi recovery is not the same as reclaiming your life and your food freedom. You deserve so much more than that.
