Hi, I’m Kate!

This is my place to share recovery tips, tricks, and inspiration to help people struggling, families, supports, and professionals. I was diagnosed with an eating disorder in high school, but disordered eating and dieting were a huge part of my life beginning in elementary school. I remember wanting to pull the fat off my body during dance class at about 7 years old, reading labels on food packaging and developing an eating disorder around 12 years old.

Life with an eating disorder is like living in shades of gray. Color is gone. Sounds are muted. Feelings are numbed. Self- criticism and self- loathing run high. It is as if you are a prisoner in your own mind. Life with an eating disorder isn’t a life, it’s survival. But being fully recovered is possible and I am here to prove that. There is hope that you can live a life you never imagined possible. I have done and I have helped others find that place as well!

Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of all mental illnesses and so with that in mind, they NEED to be taken seriously and treated immediately! The longer you have an eating disorder the harder it is to detangle yourself from it’s deadly web.

Treatment is fantastic, but it’s hard to remember all the things you learn and bring those lessons home and apply them, this is where this blog comes in handy. So take a peak when you need a reminder of what you’re working on. Regardless if you’re struggling with an eating disorder or a support buckle up and practice some self- care because this is a long ride, but I promise it’s worth it!
