Imagine a life not focussed on food
Where each meal doesn’t dictate your day and you mood
Imagine a life that is free and real
Where you wake up each day excited to live
And don’t just dread the next meal
Imagine a time where exercise is fun
It’s running around the park on a summers day
Enjoying being in the sun
You’d run to feel the breeze
And walk to admire the trees.
Imagine a life without hospitals
Without meal plans and appointments
Without rules and restrictions
And your eating disorder causing disarray
With constant contradictions.
Imagine numbers being just for math
And the occasional soduku
And the only scales you cared about
We’re the ones weighing your suitcases
As you jet off to explore more places
Imagine christmases with hot cocoa
And Easter’s with eggs
birthdays with cake
And hot days with milkshakes.
Don’t give up on this life
It’s closer than you think.
And I know sometimes
You feel on the brink.
But hold onto hope
Keep plodding along
I promise you it’s possible
You just have to stay strong.
So take it Day by day
And be kind to yourself
Keep fighting and don’t quit
Because this life, free from this illness
It’ll be worth it.
