Sis, I'm coming at you with some serious tough love today, because I'm about to call you out on the story you've been telling yourself about your journey. If you've been walking around asking "Why me? Why do I have to deal with this? Why do I even bother trying to recover?" — this episode is your wake-up call. Because I'm about to flip that victim script and hand you the question that changes everything. I just got off a coaching call with a client who's stepping into a whole new identity away from the eating disorder voice, and it lit a fire in me. So buckle up, grab your journal, and get ready to shift from poor me thinking to powerful me living in the next 15 minutes. The story: You wake up and the first thought in your head is about food, your body, your weight. You spend your days calculating, restricting, obsessing — then beating yourself up for all of it. And somewhere in that mental chaos, the questions start: Why me? Why can't I just eat normally like everyone else? What if I'm the exception? What if I'm just too far gone? Here's the truth I need you to hear loud and clear: you are writing yourself as the victim in your own life story — and then getting mad that you're playing the victim role. You're taking clips from your journey — the hard days, the setbacks, the fears — and making them mean you're doomed. But your thinking is driving your entire life. So let me ask you, girl… how's that working out for you? The facts: 60–70% of people with eating disorders make a full recovery (National Eating Disorder Association)With proper treatment, recovery rates can reach as high as 80% (Journal of Clinical Medicine)People who believe in their ability to recover are significantly more likely to achieve full recovery — and women who reframe their eating disorder as something they're overcoming rather than something they have show better outcomes The majority of women struggling with exactly what you're struggling with right now? They get better. They don't just manage symptoms — they become free. So here's my question: if most women recover… why not you? What "why me?" is really doing for you Here's the uncomfortable truth: that question isn't really about seeking understanding. It's about staying comfortable in an identity that keeps you feeling safe. When you ask "why me?" you get to stay stuck without taking responsibility. You get to avoid the scary. You get to keep the mask on that the eating disorder thrives off of. I'm not judging you — I asked every one of those questions myself. "My eating disorder is different. I've had it longer. It's more severe. I've tried everything." Sis, I said all of it. And every single woman I've ever worked with thought she was the exception too. You know what happened when they stopped playing the victim in their own story? They became the hero. As 1 Corinthians 10:13 says: "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind." Your struggle isn't unique. Your pain isn't special. And your recovery isn't just possible — it's probable. Same facts, different story The facts of your life don't change. But the story you tell about them? That's 100% your choice. "I have an eating disorder" → could mean I'm ready to heal"Recovery is hard" → could mean I'm doing something brave"I'm scared of gaining weight" → could mean I'm about to break through my biggest fear Right now, your default identity is "the woman with the eating disorder." Every morning your brain boots up like a computer running that operating system — so of course the disordered thoughts come first. That's your default setting. But what if you changed the default to recovery warrior? A recovery warrior doesn't ask "why me?" She asks "why not me?" She doesn't say "I can't do this." She says "I'm doing this." She doesn't make herself the victim of her story. She makes herself the hero. As Romans 8:37 reminds you: you are more than a conqueror. Decide in advance Here's the real truth: when I went through my recovery, I wasn't ready. I didn't raise my hand one day feeling prepared. I had to decide I wasn't going to do this to myself anymore. So decide in advance that you're going to recover. Not I hope — but I get to. Not maybe — but I will. Your homework: Write this down today — "I am a woman who is recovering, and recovery is my new identity in this season." And every morning when your brain boots into default mode, interrupt the pattern: "That's not who I am anymore. I'm a warrior now — and recovery warriors don't think like that." When you change your thoughts, you change your identity. When you change your identity, you change your story — and the entire direction of your life. Maybe even a generational change in your family. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You're not broken. You're not too far gone. You're not the exception to the statistics." "The women who recover aren't special, stronger, or smarter than you. They just decided." "Stop making yourself the ...
