I’m a recovered binge eater who changed the story from something that happened to me to something that happened for me. Now, I’m a licensed therapist teaching you to do the same.
My mission? To help you ditch food stress and live your life with mental peace and freedom every single day!
Not to get all sappy here, but recovery is one of the greatest choices I ever made to invest in myself. Not only to discover peace with food, but to heal the pain and suffering that the eating disorder was being used to “protect and comfort.”
If you stumbled across this blog post and are like, “Cilla, journaling has never worked for me.” Hang on, I’m going to keep this short and sweet because yes, I have been in your shoes searching for all of the “magic” journal prompts to take my eating disorder away. (You won’t find this here either).
What I can say that you will discover from these prompts is a step towards healing.
So, let’s get into it. Each of these journal prompts were self reflections that I thought about almost weekly throughout recovery. To be quite honest, my responses changed overtime as well (and that is 100% okay!!).
In the infamous words from Ryann, “you never know until you try.”
As always, I’m rooting for you! Want to see more of my recovery content? Come hang out with me on Instagram + join my recovery community!
