Recovery (by Lindsay)

After 9 days of intense therapy in treatment, I am now home from Linden Oaks.

It was a rough 9 days.  I hated being away from Michael and the kids.  But I knew that it needed to be done.

I learned a lot.  I became more in touch with my feelings.

And most importantly, I broke the unhealthy eating cycle by retraining my body to eat healthy portions.

While the eating disorder is now under my control, I still have to work on staying in control.

So now I move forward towards recovery.  

Through all of this I felt your love through prayers and kind words.  

And we want to thank our family and friends who helped Michael this past week!  We are so blessed to be surrounded by such incredible support.  You are all amazing!

We are now approaching the start of the school year for Michael and the kids, which means we'll be getting into more of a routine that I am definitely looking forward to.  Fall into early winter is my favorite time of year and I'm looking forward to starting the season with a healthy mindset!
