Relinquishing control is a necessary step on the path to healing from "summary" of Wasted by Marya Hornbacher
In the deep, dark world of eating disorders, control is everything. It is the thread that holds the whole messy tapestry together. We believe that if we can just control our bodies, our food, our weight, we can control our lives. But the truth is, this obsessive need for control only leads to more chaos, more pain, more destruction. In order to heal, we must relinquish this iron grip on control. We must let go of the belief that we can dictate every aspect of our existence. It is only by surrendering this false sense of power that we can truly begin to find peace and healing. By releasing our need for control, we open ourselves up to the possibility of something greater, something beyond our limited understanding. Relinquishing control is not easy. It is a terrifying leap into the unknown, a journey into the depths of our own vulnerability. But it is a necessary step on the path to healing. It is only by relinquishing control that we can begin to confront the underlying issues that drive our destructive behaviors. It is only by letting go that we can start to truly heal from the inside out. So we must be willing to take that leap, to loosen our grip on control and allow ourselves to be vulnerable. We must trust in the process, in the journey of healing. We must have faith that by relinquishing control, we are making room for something greater, something more beautiful than we could ever imagine. And in that surrender, we will find the healing that we so desperately seek.
