When recovering from disordered eating, it can unfortunately be very easy to get caught up in the idea of exercising, turning into yet another facet of the disease.  The Healthy Girl addresses this issue by explaining how to shift your thinking from “must exercise” to “moving your body”.  [Link]

In my experience, I have found that it’s really about finding the balance between what feels good and what you can see yourself doing on a regular basis and not getting too obsessive over it. Sometimes the last thing I want to do is go to a gym and work out really intensely, and somewhere along the way it has been drilled into my head (incorrectly) that I’m not really exercising unless I go really hard. Sometimes I end up not doing anything at all because of this! (So silly). By switching my mentality to just finding something that is just moving my body, it can really help motivate me to finding a healthy alternative that I enjoy.
