Ramey Nutrition stands apart from the crowd when it comes to eating disorder recovery for their realism and effrontery in the industry. The following are some of the quotes by Ramey Nutrition’s founder, Scarlett Ramey whose guts show the mission of Ramey Nutrition.
1. “Think twice about full recovery from an eating disorder, you’ll never be the same person again. Look in the mirror, and say goodbye. Recovered will look nothing like it does right now.”
2. “Those who I’ve seen actually go through and to the other side of eating disorder recovery, I assure you, are different people. Sometimes they don’t even LOOK the same as when they started.”
3. “Recovery from an eating disorder is about killing EVERYTHING off that is not genuinely of your spirit, and birthing a You that you WANT to love.”
4. “Throughout the years of working with this super special population of those recovering from eating disorders, it becomes easy to assess those that are going to make it, and those that will not. The process of full recovery from an eating disorder is damned near impossible, and I hold no judgement for those who attempt and do not recover fully. The attempt to recover is the most brave action a person with an eating disorder can take. The outcome is not of my concern. They’ve all won in my eyes, every time they attempt.”
5. “Only the brave attempt eating disorder recovery.”
6. “Think about all the times you’ve said to a loved one with an eating disorder, ‘Just eat.’
Now, with your eyes closed, think about giving up 95% of all the thoughts that pass through your head each day, all the things that identify you, all the things that feel safe, all the relationships, all the favorite little habits that have built you into the person you feel comfortable with today. All of those things that were here just a minute ago, poof! Gone. Nothing to replace them with, no identity to be certain of, and Fear of the Unknown screaming, “You’ll never be safe again!”
Now you know what it means to ‘Just eat.'”
7. “Please don’t misunderstand. People with eating disorders are EASILY the smartest animals on the planet. Your doctorate has nothing on the extensive research they’ve done on the topic you’re about to ‘educate’ them on. They’ve most likely also researched you, exactly where your buttons are, how to push them, and how to manipulate you into thinking they are just fine.”
8. “A person with an eating disorder can sit on the end of an exam table, listen to a doctor threaten that this will kill them, look them directly in the eye, and wink.”
9. “Never attempt to think you can threaten someone with an eating disorder. Remember death tries every day and loses.”
10. “It’s not a secret why my patients get better. They know I’m a place where they can safely give up, roll in the gravel of emotional turmoil, relapse, want to recover without doing anything, be a brat that even annoys themselves, finally do something and be proud, and have many cases of the ‘Fu#% It’s!’ I am a place that only represents them. I will never be proud or disappointed in them, and they understand I’m not here FOR them, I feel HONORED to be WITH them on their journey toward, well….. THEM.
