Our Thoughts about Recovery
Recovery is not necessarily about eliminating the eating disorder behaviors. It is about living life differently, so that the behaviors diminish overtime and may eventually disappear. Recovery is seen as a journey during which there may be detours and setbacks. The first step is acknowledging the difficulty of struggling day today with the pain, secrecy, isolation and shame that are a big part of an eating disorder.

 “BridgePoint recognizes that it is not about the food.. . . They don’t force you. . . They know you have to nurture the spirit and it comes from the inside out.”– (program participant)                       

Participants have experienced a variety of personal changes that they have named recovery,including “self-discovery, expanded understanding of self, strengthened relationships, new ways of coping,making healthy life choices, learning life-enhancing skills, asking for help, and reduction of eating behaviors”– (Evaluative Summary)
